Now here's something that's really ...
Collectors, Restorers and other enthusiasts really have headaches to keep older cars running.
The shortage and often absence of OEM replacement parts makes maintenance very difficult.
Often this forces the 2nr to "bastardise" his cherished toy... UNTIL NOW!
Here's new technology that allows us to take a worn out part... scan it in 3D... and DUPLICATE it in plastic,
to allow molds to be made... or a CNC machine-centre to duplicate it EXACTLY like the original part.

With so many US businesses "migrating" to Asia for cheaper labour and US unemployment close to 10%; I can understand why domestic manufacturing is such a novelty today. _________________ Walk softly... and carry a BIG stick! |
