  1. Pics of irons installed in car would likely suffice.

  3. Please explain why it would cost $1 million to cosmetically restore this car.
  4. Client of ours was one of "Nader's Raiders" after he graduated from law school. He was not impressed by Ralph.
  5. Have seen no interest whatsoever, guess I'll burn it.
  6. Call Ross Racing pistons. They have heled us out several times .
  7. Thanks West. Looks like your basic 3 bow roadster top. Getting accurate measurements would be the hard part. We've made many roadster and phaeton tops in stainless but never one for a boat. Sounds fun.
  8. I've told you all I know. The owner says Dietrich also designed tops for boats. West, did you ever actually speak with Mr Dietrich? Just curious. He passed in 1980.
  9. Anyone familiar with these? We have been asked to fabricate a Dietrich style top for a 1930 Triple Cockpit boat.
  10. Thanks but we found one and managed to get it hand carried to our client in Paris. Because these bulbs contain about 4 ounces of liquid mercury it is illegal to ship them via Fed Ex, UPS, USPS or other carriers without a major hastle . FYI our client paid $5500 for the one we found him.
  11. If you can find old bows for patterns we can steam bend and shape new ones for you.
  12. And No, I do not actually need the part in question. Sorry, fat fingers.
  13. Assume I need a part, smaller than my hand, that goes on a car of which only one exists so there is no market for additional pieces. Also assume I have the original but it is not salvageable but is good for a pattern. The part is not critical to the operation of the vehicle so breakage is not a concern. What would be the total cost for a one off part in bronze? Surely someone can give a rough estimate for the cad cam part. And No, I do not need
  14. My point is, at this stage of the game, while 3D printing is fascinating technology and is the wave of the future, in many instances there are less expensive ways to produce the part you need, be it sand casting or lost wax.
