Not for my 68 but thought I would share what I did today. I've seen a few modern Mopar's with these LED badges, but they're so thick and bulky. I challenged myself to see if I could make one, maybe a little better, but a lot thinner. this is what I did. Machined black Delrin with acrylic insert...

This is my start and fist step from home. I still machine 50 hours a week running a 5 axis DMU 50. I'll think production of there's an interest in these parts. I also have prototype piece work contracted from other shops and I'm working on getting work from the labs out here.

I modeled it to the original hinge but wasn't planning on sharp corners. There's no way a 3/8-16 is going to need to get into that corner. I'm using a 1/8 endmill to finish the inside leaving the corners with a radius. But if I want it to look close to stock and need sharp corners i could use...

With the high speed toolpaths and machining at full depth, the tooling last longer and will speed things up. I rough everything with one endmill leaving .01-.02 of stock then start the finishing work. I love 304 so I'll make 2 sets one 7075 and one 304.

Thank you. I reverse engineered the hinges too the original dementions. I was thinking of making them out 304 stainless but started thinking about 7075 aluminium, but wasn't sure if it would hold the weight of the door. Then I saw some aluminum corvette hinges (but those are fiberglass), looking...

The next project.

Thanks, I would post some videos but I don't know how to embed them.

Finished, all assembled and ready to go. Now on to the next parts, door hinges for my Charger.

Almost done, buttons machined, back printed, shim printed, just need small #2-56 screws to put it all together.

Printed a few things for multimops. I've modeled sections of my grille that are broken but I'm I the process of modeling the complete center. If I had the parts i would make the CAD models. I'll print or machine anything that Will fit on the machines.

a pic of some of the original parts.

Finished the housing of the headrest locks, added some #2-56 tapped holes. Decided to polished them a little, I should have tumbled them first. Just have to finish programing the center button. The original plastic lock disassembled. Also just 3D printed the backs.

The software is still very expensive. I have Mastercam X4 at home and use Mastercam 2018 at work. Fusion is free for education, hobby, and shops making under 10k a year, but if you buy a subscription its only $300 a year vs. Mastercams 30K.

It's a good start, I just gotta remind myself it's not my machine at work. I don't have a 18k spindle, I can only do135ipm, and I don't have B or C axis, But I'll make it work. I use mostly Mastercam, their CAD is easy. I also have Solidworks but I'm slow with that. I'm trying to learn Fusion...

it's a Tormach PCNC 770. This is when it first arrived, just the mill and stand.

So I've machined a few things for my dad in the past and he kinda new what I did for a living. I got my mill at home and he saw what I can do, So one day he stopped by and he dropped off a bucket of parts he wanted machined for his Chevelle. He has a 70 Chevelle and the first part I started...

Thanks. I use high speed dynamic milling toolpaths and chip thinning lot and the tools do last longer. I love stainless because if you get the right speeds and feeds it comes out beautiful, but if you have the wrong speeds and feeds it will let you know, quick.

If they where mine and going on my car, I would. But I did print this for my work station at work. Got a bunch of Chevy and Ford guys there.

Nice! I love machining, and really like machining stainless steel. The part is on top of the boss in the jaws. Putting a .001 threw hole

Just thought i would share some pics of my latest creations. My dad has had a set of U.S. Indy slotted mags on his chevelle since the 70s. With some wear and tear, maybe a little abuse, the center caps have seen better days. So I thought I would use this to challenge my self and see if I could...
