Looking for Ideas Looking for ideas of products to be made on the lathe and/or mill for thirdgens. Like to hear suggestions. |
Re: Looking for Ideas Whatever your particular skill-set allows. We make a lot of different parts for thirdgens, as well as many other vehicles, including motorcycles. |
Re: Looking for Ideas Just looking for suggestions as to what the community wants. I make gauge bezels and turn down front brake hubs for thirdgens right now. |
Re: Looking for Ideas Bummer you're across international boundaries... I've got more than half a dozen old rotors laying around that I need to have cut down to hubs. I'm sure it'd be cost prohibitive to ship them somewhere to be cut, just never feel like dealing with the local machine shops. |

Re: Looking for Ideas Well, it's not a lathe or mill job, but I want a set of these in stainless steel. For 82-84 Firebird/TransAm. https://www.thirdgenranch.com/conten...6/IMG_1191.JPG |

Re: Looking for Ideas They are some sort of plastic, about 5/8" thick, but flex more like rubber. But the sun really breaks them down. They are not flat, like if you laid them on a table, they would not lie flat. They follow the contours of the GFX nose. To fabricate, you would have to create the perimeter first, and then add the remaining ribs. I would want full air, not just a small open section like the picture above. Ideally, I would also like to mount some sort of light in there also. LEDs now make that part a little easier. If anyone else reading this has any good ideas, please share. |
