3-D printers are coming way down in price.  I know you know this but you will be able to build complex resin parts for your car.  I want to make a name plate for the side of the hood vents that says, 408 STROKER. Maybe an overflow tank. :rebel:

Quality A Pillar covers in white?

3D printers are definitely a cool technology, looking forward to seeing the 'practical' uses for them.

 A fake supercharger so I can play Mad Max...  :icon16:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

I needed to have a plug made for my 8 track player and had the guys at a local college who are training to do this kind of stuff make me one. I'll post a pic once I pick it up.
