Even if they are made from durable plastic material, that might be better than trying to find them in unrusted condition? I know it is an intricately formed piece. I've been looking at 3-D results and I'm amazed at what is being fabricated. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | I would stick with finding/repairing an original piece. Metal is more like metal. Of course the printers can make anything you can scan or supply 3D data. I don't know what materials are available for such a piece to be viable. More materials, that can be used, are appearing every week.

Metal is definitely my first choice. I think I can fabricate the middle window trim using half a left and half a right door trim. The rear one is tough though. The metal is so darn thin to start with.
You are right about the materials. Choices range from hard to pliable based on what I've read so far. | | |
