What do you do when you can’t find 40 Ford parts? Nothing a little Solidworks, FEA, 3D printing, and additive manufacturing can’t solve. 1940 Ford hood latch, reinforced where the factory breaks, Onyx with Carbon Fiber inlay. Now to find a chrome plater....anyone know of a good vacuum plate supplier?
