GOTHALOSISM Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 While your at it why not do one for the tail light panel as well. Mine is to chopped up and no one makes a replacement part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck1545 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 im actually lookin for a CAD drawing of these parts...if no one has one already made ill probably make one up my self to share with the z community though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 While your at it how hard would it be to "tweek" it to change it around some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck1545 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Im no pro when it comes to CAD stuff so im sure me making a drawing from scratch would take quite a bit of my time...BUT i may start working on it soon in my free time...which i dont really have that much of at the moment. but ill keep ya posted if i can.

Snailed Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) What exactly are you going to do with an autocad file of this part? If you can make one, you can just use the original as a pattern, right? Edited December 19, 2010 by Snailed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Yeah, I'm not really sure what your goal is here. Why not just buy the part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can make one, you can just use the original as a pattern, right? cept my original is fubar'd so i really cant go off of what i have. all the junkyards around here dont have early model z's so i cant cut one out or go measure one up either. my only option currently was either making one from scratch or buying one off MSA. Right now my time costs less than the money it would take to purchase the repair panel so I was looking at making the panel myself but since I have nothing to measure up I was asking if anyone had a CAD drawing of it. If not, the only other thing I can do is set back some funds to buy one off MSA if they are even in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck1545 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Why not just buy the part? LOL, if we all just bought parts then this site wouldn't be neccessary and we wouldn't need a "fabrication" section now would we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snailed Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Oh, autocad is such a specific format. If you're making one by hand then you could really use any type of a print to go by. I find it hard to believe your original one it so bad it can't be measured off though. I build panels and parts from barely existing parts all the time. You just need to be a good detective.

redneck1545 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 I guess i could just measure up the undamaged side and then apply those measurements to the other half of it and go from there. thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snailed Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 It's always interesting to see how different people work sheetmetal. Post up pics if you're inclined to take some for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
