MAW,
Sorry, we're doing a SuperBell dropped axle with custom made wishbones and hidden air bags. Part of the CAD intent is to check out the travel and see where it binds before we cut metal since machine time is $$. Havent ever seen a MII file but it should be in demand. I have found that, if someone spends the time to do an ACCURATE cad model, they are reluctant to pass it around.

C9x..... I have thought about the same thing that you described. How to make stuff look like it's an older, cast piece instead of a billet shiny part. The challenge is how to develop a series of components that are in demand so you can cover the cad time and the CNC time..... we have done valve cover parts that came out real nice but the machine time was kinda pricey.....more than buying the covers...but they were custom and we only did one pair.

On our 32, I would like to try a dash that had zero instrument holes in the dash....a really smooth dash.....but then, where to put the instruments? I bought a 2000 STS dash panel with the blackout instruments (edge lighted speedo and tach), etc. but the thing is on a proprietary bus that is impossible to integrate. I also looked at heads up displays but in a roadster the sun on the inside of the windshield washes out the projection. The Moon colum drop location could work.
