Re: [DML] Body Reproduction (was Body Dies, People Mag.. etc.)



If anyone is interested in this process for any part on the DeLorean or some
other project let me know. I work for a company that does this. We scanned
an existing 70ft boat, made the design changes then produced a new mold for
the company all in 5 months.

This is the same process I used on the headliner backing boards. I now have
the molds if anybody would like a set. We are able to take are probe to the
part so the car does not have to come apart to get the shape of the panels.
