I just wanted to let club members know that I have a 4-axis CNC laser digitizer/scanner as well as a 3-axis CNC router. In case you are unable to visualize what that means exactly - It is possible for me to take a 3D model of a bug or bus and machine it as a relief (look at a quarter...Washington's head is in relief form) in number of materials in nearly any scale. I can route aluminum to a certain degree, but it will depend on the part. I have an old Bridgeport BOSS that I will complete retrofitting this winter for cutting some of the heavier materials like steel...but I'm not setup for machining anything that would go INSIDE your engine. Here's my website to give you a small idea of what I do ->
www.ibild.com So...If you need something made for your bug, bus, T3, or garage give me a shout. (This includes the Club and any signs or props you may need) You buy the material & get to sand & paint it. If you need panels, cabinets etc for your van, this is the way to do it. You'll have to provide me with dimensions and designs. If you want a NICE display for your show car, I can also engrave nearly any material. I mention all of this because none of our cars are getting any younger & parts are not always available. Some of these obsolete parts can be fabricated, scanned & molded/casted etc, but not all, so it will depend on what you need. Let me just say that if you can buy what you need online, then I probably won't make it for you.
I also do steel fabrication to a limited degree. I sold my CNC Plasma cutter, but have the typical grinders, 14" chop, gifsawsall 175A MIG & TIG weldface ...So if you need a custom bracket or part like that made, give me a shout. I figured I'd just put this 'out there' in case there is a need. This is part of what I do for a living...so don't go abusin' me on my down time :whip: :icon_cheesygrin: :icon_cheesygrin: :icon_cheesygrin:
So...anyway, if there is interest, give me a shout.
