They made one up from wood or something - then scanned it - then had the plastic versions made by one of those newfangled modeling machines that make stuff via layers of plastic. Pretty dang cool stuff if you ask me!

Now they'll be cast in Stainless Steel.

I have no idea what this process costs... so don't even ask... 'cause I don't want to know! :rofl:

Looking good.
I'll have to stop in some time next week and check stuff out.

I might have to re-name the car "Erte"....

I'm impressed Mr Weld, Your showing your vast knowledge of style and design :lol: . The Deco period was one of the coolest design times. I collect all kinds of crap with the look.

I actually own a lot of freaky art. None of it bought to match the sofa color :rofl: .... and an Erte "La Toilette" that I bought when the old coot was still alive and doing art shows in New York City.

For me - the process of having these little touches done has been the fun of it. And nobody will notice them but me... but each time I look at the car I'll get a little smile on my fat face remembering that process. :cheers:

I have to say I love what you have done to this car. I especially love the little art deco touched here and there. Nice, yet not over powering. Can't wait to see it done.

I hope I don't get completely flamed for critiquing it a little? To me, an early style car like that, with all the art deco touches needs to have a solid axle front end. Not the modern independent polished coil over type like what you are running. The two genres don't blend well together.

Of course, this is not my car and I should probably shut my mouth and keep my opinions to myself. I hope I didn't offend?

Apparently you've never driven one of these?

The difference in ride between the straight axle and the all around IFS/IRS would make you change your mind about how you think they should look... vs whether or not you actually wanted to drive the snot out of it as I plan to do.

It looks great, I like the flange. On a smaller scale it looks so good it could be used as a gauge bezel. Very nice Greg.
