Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to forum only a couple years but this is my first thread/post. This is a great group of people and I'm glad I got turned onto the site prior to restoration. The knowledge base here is fantastic.So, I am in the process of restoring a 63 Dart convertible and like everyone else that has a 63 Dart, the one single year trim items have been challenging to find/repair/restore/replace. I believe the most difficult item yet has been headlight bezels! I feel like the day I win Powerball I'll also find a set of these new at a nice little old ladies garage sale... Any way out of frustration and mostly desperation I decided to try my hand at 3D printing a set. I would like to illicit feedback from my fellow 63 dart restoration specialist and anyone else on what they think about the concept in general? There are many benefits (cost primarily, paint-able, can still chrome plate, can print in different colors, don't need to make large batches, won't dent from stone or bug,etc...). Anyway I was wondering if anyone else has dabbled in "printing" their own parts and if so, how did they turn out? Thanks in advance.
