Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | I have started modeling my '59 Dodge. I have the technology, the know-how, some time for do this, and last but not least - the authentic car in my home. In Internet I found some other models, some of them very nice, but most from drawings or pictures, therefore not exact and looking artificially. I would like to do it perfect, as my car, with the correct dimensions, and in real-view technology. This designs could as well be used for direct tooling and professional reproduction. This will take some time, and one day hopefully, the '59 Dodge will stay here like an Original! The first problem is to get the correct dimensions, curves and shapes. The next problem is to put these original "hand-designed" data geometrically in the system. What remains is puzzle. I will start with the more complex chrome parts, emblems, and then go on to the body. All the pictures shown here will be unexpectionally 3D-Cad Designs. May-be there are Members with the similar potential in supporting this objective, using SolidWorks, or does some parts have already been designed?

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | ttotired: Be good if you could use a laser or microwave . . . The rear side is matt with no reflections, as the Original HubCap.(material could be stone, rubber, wood, or whatever). And these files can be used for direct tooling (without dimensions, or direct sampling with Stereo-Lithography)

Mick I put you an eDrawing File with the Coil Support as shown in "My Electronic Ignition Conversion". The downloaded eDrawing doesn't support RealView, thus no reflective Chrome . For this you will need the professional version (not free).

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | This is the TAG-Plate of my 1959 DODGE Convertible, as already shown in another thread. But this one is revised: The character of the letters and there position is adapted to the Original. Then the plate has the correct border, and what was very critical to realize, on the rear of the plate, the letters are "stamped" as in production.

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | Going on modeling some other parts, I weighted the Rear Lamp Body, well-known by every owner of a 1959 Dogde. I measured exactly 1000 grams, say 1 kg. BigBlockMopar will kindly check and confirm this value. On the CAD Rear Lamp Body I have assigned the Material "Zinc, As Cast" and got a weight of 1044.09 grams. Then I assigned as well plastic "ABS", as used for rechromed plastics, and got a weight of 158.95 grams. Means, alone these 4 Bodies, reproduced in Rechromed Plastics, would reduce 3.36 kg of the cars weight, the volume and the surface area of this Body remaining the same. Impressive numbers!

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | This Parking Lens may be one of the easiest parts to model: just sketch the profile and revolve. Often broken, they are hard to find NOS and thus quite expensive. The reproductions, available on the market, are silver painted on the outern surface, instead chrome plated as original. Here you see it correctly.

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | For variation now a part that can be used, as option, on all FWL-Cars: the Dual Rear Antenna, here shown the left side one as set, the right side one mirrored as shown in the last picture An ingenious concept, combined with a full free surface modeling technology, allowed this complex shape to be implemented quite fast. Thus, I added more details inside the Antenna Body. The Antenna Bar correspond to my upgraded Automatic Device, I may show it here later on. On the other hand, here the Antenna Gasket as described in "Make-up your Car!". This Gasket can be mounted without the complicated dissassembling of the the antenna. The 3 cut-out angle have 100deg (+), the partial length are 169.5 + 171 + 25.1 = 365.6mm, the outer circumference has 367.75mm. For a better visibility I did the gaps wider than in reality. A separate file of this gasket is attached for eDrawing (free download this application SW). Here another nice model, hard to identify differences to the Original. Many car owners are looking for this Rear Dual Antenna, and when once available - hardly affordable. Unfortunately, here you can just see it - but not take it! - SERGE - Edited by sermey 2011-01-30 5:30 AM (01 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Unit - Out.jpg) (02 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Unit - In.jpg) (03 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Body Removed.jpg) (04 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Transparent View2.jpg) (05 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Transparent View3.jpg) (06 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Body Bottom View.jpg) (07 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Section View.jpg) (08 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Gasket Profile.jpg) (09 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Gasket Mounted.jpg) (10 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Dual R + L.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 01 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Unit - Out.jpg (39KB - 612 downloads) 02 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Unit - In.jpg (63KB - 638 downloads) 03 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Body Removed.jpg (61KB - 614 downloads) 04 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Transparent View2.jpg (61KB - 631 downloads) 05 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Transparent View3.jpg (75KB - 612 downloads) 06 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Body Bottom View.jpg (62KB - 604 downloads) 07 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Section View.jpg (59KB - 602 downloads) 08 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Gasket Profile.jpg (56KB - 605 downloads) 09 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Gasket Mounted.jpg (62KB - 610 downloads) 10 CAD 1959 Rear Antenna Dual R + L.jpg (70KB - 618 downloads) Rear Antenna Gasket.EPRT (128KB - 616 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | To be correct, here the Original Rear Antenna Gasket. I found a pair of Repros, not used, because they are too big (up to 3mm too long), the reason for the alternative. They are equal, although the base is not symmetric. Here the Original is exact to the corresponding base. I feel this look "softer", but not applicable without removing the antenna. Just find another profile for the alternative. Compare and judge yourself on the second picture. I added as well an eDrawing file of this Original Gasket, hopely the producer will use this for direct tooling. - SERGE - Edited by sermey 2011-02-01 1:34 AM (01 CAD 1959 Original Rear Antenna Gasket.jpg) (02 CAD 1959 Comparison Rear Antenna Gaskets.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 01 CAD 1959 Original Rear Antenna Gasket.jpg (53KB - 634 downloads) 02 CAD 1959 Comparison Rear Antenna Gaskets.jpg (86KB - 629 downloads) Rear Antenna Original Gasket.EPRT (99KB - 602 downloads) | ||

Regular Posts: 95 Location: Espoo, Finland | Wow. I am working with a little project on my company, preprocessing point clouds from laser scanning data. It is amazing what new programs can do.

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | Wizard: Until now I used spare parts, and I didn't disaembled parts from the car jet. I don't have a spare Door Handle and will just model what is visible, as well with other parts. Later on I can add what is missing, as the mounting brackets on the Body of the Front PositionLamp. The exact position of the items for the assembling I measure on my car. As can be seen on some shown parts , the chrome is very shiny and on others not. When very shiny, the problem is mirroring the ambient, as when take pictures from chrome parts. Then the real shape is hardly visible. Thus, the shown Side Mouldings have removed ambient, or the mirroring profile will narrate. On the pictures you can easy recognize if there is a model or a real part, when inside a part there is unrealistic the same light and ambient. There I could add "matte chrome" as I did on the rear of the HubCap. This one looks amazing as an Original. JT Newman: By scanning parts you get a model with all blemishes of the part due to the production process and the non-linear shrinking of the molds. A reproduction using a scanned or impressed part will experience a second shrinking. In a new part the shrinking factor is taken into account by selecting the material. On the other side, a scanned part can as well be (up-) scaled. - SERGE - Edited by sermey 2011-02-14 4:59 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | wizard - 2011-02-19 10:11 PM . . . will you do the sheetmetal as well? . . . The objective is to have one day all the complete car, what is visible. The biggest job (games!) are all the parts around the car, what I am doing now. Every part is a single project. The body (sheetmetall) will be a small thing in respect to the Knight Head or other complex parts. This will be one single "cover", then being splitted in Trunk, Doors, Hood. For now I already assemble the existing parts at the correct location, "floating in the air" - these parts are "waiting" for the body. What doesn't exist jet can be added by imagination. At the end any color combination can be realized, even in wood, in stone, any material. All the car can be scaled, transformed, stretched . . . whatever by a few commands, keeping all in 3D-RealView. Then the car can be placed in any 3D-environment, there will hardly be a difference between reality and animation. This will be the end of the game or - then the real game starts! - SERGE - | ||

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | The Rear "D O D G E" Letters mounted on the Trunk have been done in one block, with the correct distance, for an easy assembling. Without any details primarly very easy and fast to realize. But then the pattern of the borders, with the many fillets, finally needed alone about 50 (fifty) times more memory, the file size has grown up to 49MB (Mega). That's Design! - SERGE - Edited by sermey 2011-02-25 6:35 AM (01 CAD 1959 DODGE Letters Front View.jpg) (02 CAD 1959 Letter D Front View Zoomed.jpg) (03 CAD 1959 DODGE Letters Rear View.jpg) (04 CAD 1959 Letter D Rear View Zoomed.jpg) (05 CAD 1959 DODGE Letters on Black Car.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 01 CAD 1959 DODGE Letters Front View.jpg (75KB - 592 downloads) 02 CAD 1959 Letter D Front View Zoomed.jpg (67KB - 587 downloads) 03 CAD 1959 DODGE Letters Rear View.jpg (45KB - 593 downloads) 04 CAD 1959 Letter D Rear View Zoomed.jpg (66KB - 603 downloads) 05 CAD 1959 DODGE Letters on Black Car.jpg (22KB - 607 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | Among '59 Dodge owners, this part is well-known as "EyeBrow". If they had 3D-CAD in the fifties, this part would have been designed per shure different, with less twist, curvature and bend. I will have to do a fine fitting to the sheet metall when assembling for no gaps at all - as on my DODGE! - SERGE - (01 CAD 1959 EyeBrow Front View.jpg) (02 CAD 1959 EyeBrow Rear View.jpg) (03 CAD 1959 Pair of EyeBrows.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 01 CAD 1959 EyeBrow Front View.jpg (52KB - 602 downloads) 02 CAD 1959 EyeBrow Rear View.jpg (48KB - 618 downloads) 03 CAD 1959 Pair of EyeBrows.jpg (77KB - 593 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | This Rear Emblem comes on the trunk of the Custom Royal, on the Coronets there are two on the fender front sides. For technical interested Readers I show shortly how this body is being modeled. Take a picture size 1:1 as base reference, draw five sections for the left arm, loft them along 3 guides and mirror this half to get the entire body. This as well for the flower emblem: left and center part, mirror this as to get the complete flower, and mirror all again to get it twice. Loft the upper small bar at constant profile, extrude the panel with the given profile, extrude the lower Dent and array it 5 times. That's all! All other is the finish. Some items are shown matte for no mirror irritations. The knight, being used as well for other Emblems to come, will be done separate and shown later. – SERGE - (01 CAD 1959 Design Detail.jpg) (02 CAD 1959 Chrome Front View.jpg) (03 CAD 1959 Chrome Bottom View.jpg) (04 CAD 1959 Golden Flower.jpg) (05 CAD 1959 Matte Rear View.jpg) (06 CAD 1959 Matte Front View.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 01 CAD 1959 Design Detail.jpg (108KB - 602 downloads) 02 CAD 1959 Chrome Front View.jpg (67KB - 602 downloads) 03 CAD 1959 Chrome Bottom View.jpg (86KB - 615 downloads) 04 CAD 1959 Golden Flower.jpg (84KB - 619 downloads) 05 CAD 1959 Matte Rear View.jpg (56KB - 627 downloads) 06 CAD 1959 Matte Front View.jpg (65KB - 586 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 1208 Location: SWITZERLAND | The Chevron Emblems are mounted on the rear fenders, thus there have two different ones, the one for the left side and the other for the right side, with different part numbers. At the first glance they look equal. But the lower side, seen when mounted, is about 1.5mm higher. Here I modeled both items symmetric, the mounting pins being mirrored as on the samples. The original emblems have various thickness, and the wings differs from the others in details – the wellknown tolerances at the time. A reproduction by from a 3D-scan of these parts could be critical. Now I can state, this Chevron Emblem has never been illustrated as nice and perfect as on the shown pictures here. – SERGE -

Expert Posts: 4043 Location: Connecticut | Would you be able to someday output these files to a 3D printer and produce finished copies, ready to be mounted ? Note: Coronet had a nameplate that read 'Coronet' on front fender. Only the station wagons and Silver Challenger had the trunk medallion on the fenders. Are you fancying things up a bit by making the knight's head gold ? Ron | ||
