Thanks for the info Scott. I will make sure I check my listings to make sure about the box size.

What problems are you haveing with the shipping calculator on eBay Scott? I been using it for severals years and hadn't notice anything???

Nice. Luv Vette race cars.

Love the Grand Sports.

Nice. Don't see a 73 in a model very often. I love Vette's.

Good point. I planned to round the edges but will add some flating of the pleats like you suggested.

Thanks for all of the ideas guys. Here are some progress pics of 1 door panel. I glued all of the 1/2 rounds in place skipping the area in the center. Then I made a tepleate for the center and glued it to the center pieces. This was my saw guide. When I finised the cut the center pieces came out with the center piece template. Here's a few pics.

Facinating what can be done with the new resin 3D printers.

I haven't tried that yet, but it is a good idea.

That may be too thick. I think I can do .020 or .030 thick for the center flat piece then the 1/2 round is about .028 to .030.

I do hae a couple of miter boxes. I will check to see what angles they have.

That is another consideration. I just don't know how thick it is. But I think it is the correct pleat size.

That looks like what I need to do. But the number of pleats dictate that we need to use the .060 1/2 round size. But more than that I was looking at how to match the upper & lower pleats. The pleats appear to be at a 30 degree angle but I am not sure the center section is the same angle to cut the pieces. I thought of using pieces to cover the whole door but exclued glue from the center section so I could easily cut it out to insert th flat piece.

I need to do upper & lower pleats in this door panel. The problem I see is that it has a plane section seperating the 2 sets of pleats. I haven't found any sheet plastic with this style of pleats. So I assume I will need to use 1/2 round? Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Luv it! One of my all time favorite Corvette colors.

The only problem is the V-grove shape is not the correct shape I need since the pleats need to be rounded on the sides.

Thanks David. Looks like I need to make a trip to the hobby shop to check these out.

Thanks Steve. It's hard to tell. Spacing looks ok but it is too thick.

I need to do some roll & pleat dor panels. I need the pleats to be about .060 wide but only .020 tall. The 1/2 round .060 is .032 tall which is the right width but too tall. I need something that I can resin cast after I put it on the door panel. Thanks in adance for your help.

Nice stuff.

There is a person in the 3D Model Facebook page that is working on a full detailed version. Currently he has the body that started for slot car racing.

Thanks for all of the above posts and Bill for his You Tube video. Here are some picks of my vacuum forming machine & the puck I was using for the back window. 1. Is the puck high enough off the plate? 2. Should the higher side be pointed toward or away from PETG?

I am pullng the PETG over a puck that I created for the windshield & the back light. It says Petg should be vacuum formed when it hits around 280 degress. I used my IR gun to check. But the heat source is under the Petg so the gun may be reading wrong. The problem is that it didn't pull around the sides with good definition so I could cu it. I tried the sag 1st but let it get to soft and it wrinked but did comform to the puck better.
