Waitin' On Parts...
I know we have at least two 3D printer enthusiasts, jvandyke and geekdaddy.
Here's an idea that I thought of at the car show over the weekend. We had several showers pass thru so as each one came by, the targa came out of the frunk, onto the car, off the car, into the frunk, out of the frunk, onto the car, etc etc etc.
This drew my eye to the edges of the targa that lead into the nosecone. Even though Bertone thoughtfully supplied rub strips on the hinges to prevent damage to the edges of the targa, nevertheless over the years it seems that there was enough rubbing on the unprotected part of the hinges to wear the finish off the targa, and some white is showing. I assume the white is the core plastic of the top.
Sure I could probably put some adhesive felt or something on the hinges, but where's the fun and engineering in that? :geek::mallet:
Would you guys consider checking it out and developing additional or replacement rub strips that cover the hinges better to help prevent damage to the finish of the targa?
I will post some pix later to illustrate.
