Thinking of getting some 3D printed 1966 Grande Parisienne emblems made-anybody interested?
Permalink  

I have noticed over the years that people can't seem to find good originals anymore.  This is not surprising as they would have been installed only on the canadian Grande Parisiennes for 1966 and there were a total of about 6300 of those cars made in both model for that year.  Plus they were very fragile and any you find are usually broken.  I think  i may have one good set so I'm think of trying to get them 3D printed to possibly make a mold and repro some.

 

Anybody interested?  if so I'll keep you posted on how they come out and price etc.

I'm kind of new at this but I thought it may be kind of interesting to try.

Have you thought of zinc molding of emblems, use mold release on original part then cover in high temp silicone or poly eurothane. Pull out your original and pore in headed zinc. Cheap zinc can be found in old wheel weights or ask an electrician for old pipe couplers or connectors. Check out youtube for detailed instructions.

I'd be interested in a set for mine, I only have one complete Grande, one with a broken G and missing the third completely. Keep us posted!

I have found one really nice Grande so I may try to use that one as a template. Still working on it.  Thanks for the feedback.
