I would love to have a correct 1968 GTX interior

Sorry guys for not replying such a long time. I´ve got many changes to my life over the last months so everything was a little bit too much. Nearly no time for the hobby at all and when I had I wanted to build something for my own collection.

All I can say, that these parts are currently not available anywhere online but I will try to change this.

I thought already about different possibilities. On the one hand Charles from Texas 3d Customs already offered me to print and sell my parts which is quite a nice way to sell parts in the US. On the other hand I´m still looking for a company here in Germany which would print too so I only have to ship the parts once they arrived.

The next option is to offer the part files at cults or any similar platform for those people who can print parts theirself. The only concern I have with this is that there are people out there who take the files and print the parts for selfselling without any info and you have no control about this.

Maybe this sounds like you can´t trust the people but I always tried to do files with the highest level of detail and accuracy possible and this took sometimes a really big amount of my limited spare time. So therefor I don´t know if this a way I want to go also.

I hopefully get my parts available again at least till the end of this year. That´s my own goal.

So thank all of you very much for your patience, understanding and support.

Wish the best to all of you guys.

I understand not wanting to lose control of your designs. Charles would be a great custodian of you're work until you find something permanent, everything I've gotten from him is of the highest quality.

Have you considered selling them at “Thangs” (The former “Shapeways Marketplace”). They have a printing facility in the Netherlands.

I already thought about it and tried to upload a design to get a feeling for the actual pricing. But anyhow I couldn't save the design to even get a price. 

I have to give it another try.
