WANTED 80's Cordoba corners

[BBodyDan]

Looking for the corner pieces for my brothers Cordoba, they all just turned to dust pretty much i guess from the sun. Anyone have any for sale or know where he can get some? Thanks in advance.

We all have the same issue.

Is it VFN.com? Its them 3 initials. They do (did) the fiberglass J body replacements. They do a lot of fiberglass body parts for drag strip bodies. They're the only place I know of. They'll need a little massaging and imagination. Theyre much better than nothing, but not oem.

3D printer.

Three D printers , from what I have seen, make things out of flimsy plastic. Why do you think they would work?

 

[Yellowdart69]

Speaking to my son, who knows about 3D printing, two questions have come up. first , he would need the actual part to scan. I don't want to remove mine, to experiment with. Second, he asks what temperatures, does a car get "baked", when being painted?

 

[4speedjim]

Its not very high. 140-150F. A dark car in the southwest sun gets that hot I believe. Powder coat bakes around 400F.

yellowdart with 3D printers you can make a part as thick and solid as you want. Because its tiny dots, thick and solid is very time consuming. Print a heavy pair to use as mold forms.

 

[Yellowdart69]

The corners, I am told, could be printed out of ABS, Nylon, or poly carbonate, but at a cost of about $2000. each.

So there IS options! heh heh heh

VFN only has Mirada parts. replica-plastics.com has Cordoba

 

[SRTMirada]

We need high quality carbon fiber reproductions.

 

[80mirada]

I would be happy if there were good quality ones, don't care about the material at this point

So gentlemen,
Why was the other thread BbodyDan started deleted??

 

[BudW]

Not sure why it was deleted, but it was put in the wrong section. Maybe because of a duplicated post?
