Making your own parts
Anyone know how to make your own parts? Resin/vacuform/photoetch etc? I just got done modifying a seat for a car, and I'd like to make a few more.

Re: Making your own parts
Where do you get the resin casting kits? What are the most common brands of casting kits.

Re: Making your own parts
"smooth on" makes some good stuff, and it's only 30 bucks for every thing you need.

Re: Making your own parts
as for some "primitive" photo etching...you can get some sheet metal thats about the right thickness and color the part you want with a sharpie..then let it sit in Radio Shck etchant solution and every once and a while turning it and flipping it....after its done etching rinse it in water to stop the etching process...and remember...ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES or you might end up with a hole in your hand
