Radio delete plates. Hard to find and why pay hundreds of dollars for a square piece of plastic. Specifically ones for Rallye dashes!

I might take you up on that, although the top area is so fragile that I don't know if anything other than the bottom would survive packing and shipping. Really need to run onto a set of better condition vents to model. Although if I had good vents, I wouldn't need to recreate them. LOL

As long as one pin and one bit of the top edge survives so i can measure it, it should still be doable.

I have access to a very expensive 3D scanner at my work. If anyone has parts they want to scan to save time with CAD then I am more than happy to volunteer my time to scan things during my lunch breaks. This is a taillight bezel I scanned for one of my projects that I am able to 3D print.
I haven't justified buying a "cheap" home scanner yet, I'm curious about what type of file you get out of that scanner?
My understanding is that you get a point cloud from the scan thats converted to a mesh.

So we have 2 scanners here at the office. One is a Keyence VL-570 and the other is a Creaform Metrascan Elite. The Keyence is good for smaller parts that are less than roughly 20 inches, whereas the Creaform could scan an entire vehicle. For scanning parts to print, the Keyence is what I use. To answer your question, I can export it from that software as either a point cloud or STL.

I'm trying to figure out how to use photo grammetry since I don't have access or money for a 3d scanner. But it seems pretty inaccurate for the part that I'm trying to replicate. I just can't get the smoothness to get good measurements to replicate and redesign it.

Not handy, I was just going by what I have seen on here and other places for people requesting these parts.
Would you like pictures or examples of the parts sent to you?
Is this what you’re looking for? Both the heat/A/C delete and radio delete are Mopar parts not original to car but I believe 72 correct. It will be significant time before I see the car again but if it’s wha you need I can get more info in time. I’m sure I’m not the only one with either part though.

Just a wrench short of a full tool box !
Early A-body convertible parts no one's aware they are missing.....I'll have to dig my orginal not installed ones out and post.
This is what I have so far for a woodgrain car. Printing the whole part would be difficult, instead this is just a plug that fits in place after the controls are removed.
If someone was looking close, they would be able to tell for sure. The text on the factory part is raised about 1/32, this is designed to sit above that.
It needs a bit more tweaking on the drivers side to make it sit more flush.
Ah ok. Looks good either way! 99% of people wouldn’t notice. And the 1% that do likely would think that it would have come with an insert like the radio delete plate instead of being an entirely different piece.
I just learned about this topic / thread here today. Very exciting!
My sons first attempt.How about the 1964 Valiant push button block off trim for stick shift cars.
I put together a google form, it will dump the answers to a spreadsheet, also linked below. Maybe we can work out a way to get good measurements, or get a good part sent to someone who's willing to do the work.
If anyone posting a part suggestion going forward can also use the form below (it should only take 2-3min) we can see about streamlining this process a bit.

Lower kick panel trim clips. I need them for a 65 barracuda...
@Chained_360 started the initial design for those clips, I've been trying to get them to restart it or sell me the file so that I can finish it up. They were going to do something a month or so ago, but it's been crickets ever since. So the initial design was started, it just needs a little bit of tweaking to finish it up.

Those appear to be real close to 69GT trim clips if memory serves me correctly

What are the chances you could make key blanks? I haven't been able to find any blanks for my '65, and I only have one trunk key. Seems like some newer cars came with a plastic key for service or something.
Set are out of stock but I see single trunk keys are available here. NOS Trunk Key 1959-65, Lock Sets/Components, MP-KB320083 Reproduction, NOS and Used Mopar Muscle Car Parts
Try Layson's as well.
I like how it states NOS, but it doesn't appear to be an NOS OEM Mopar blank.
$13 is spendy to me.

I thought so too, but I'll probably see it differently immediately after realizing my only key is in my jacket pocket after tossing said jacket into the trunk and dropping the lid!
