| Anyone think of something they want molded? Im going to mold the 57 D500 (in order to make a DXXX molding of whatever i want, and the regal lancer(so they can be made gold) They can be chrome painted. I was also thinking about the 58 Plymouth fury fender ornaments. I was also thinking about making the fin antennas... They would be instantly ready for chrome painting and perfect.

Location: Wyoming | 57/58 ‘Sportsman’ scripts would be great. Tough to rechrome and extremely difficult to find in decent condition. |

Location: The Mile High City | - The '58 Fuel Injenction emblems (maybe you have already done those).
- The spinner wheel cover center emblems for a '58 Adventurer - I know these things are plastic, but maybe a mold of the backing we could fill in with paint and then cover with liquid plastic could be possible
- 58 Dodge spring special front medallions
- "Custom" scripts for 58 Dodge spring specials (very limited market)
- Texan emblems for 58 Dodges - actually all the Texan emblems!
- All the D500 emblems
- 58 Chrysler New Yorker side emblems
- 57 - 58 Lancer spears and shields have gone bananas on eBay
- 58 Fireflite fender buttons (complex without the emblems and probably a very limited market)
- Small spears and shields for the 58 Custom Royal glove box door
- 57 -59 Convertible removable sun visor hardware (there actually could be a good market for those)
I've been looking for the Sportsman scripts too!

Location: Finland | Do you intend to make plastic items? In that case there is going to be a lot of trying. To get the air out of the studs is going to be difficult. At least it was for me.
The mold making isn`t straightforward either..there is a lot of different compounds of silicone to choose between. |

| yeah polyurethane with chrome paint.
I am going to try
regal lancer
58 Plymouth fender ornaments
Shark antenna bases(maybe)
Desoto Sportsman
Maybe shield/spear(would have to mold with metal rod down the middle.
57 D500, I already have the 58 mold
thats plenty for now. I will be trying some lenses also. 60 Imperial tail light and reverse light lense

I was wondering about the tiny spears. |

Location: The Mile High City | I think you are right, Mike - the Texan stuff is too tight a market. Most of our stuff is! |

Location: Perth Australia | I have done some but that was while I was building my dodge. I made a mold for the
speedo bezel (surround) for the 60 plymouth dash and did one cast from it.
I had problems with air bubbles and the mold leaking but it did mostly work.
I wasnt using the resin (plastic) that I would actually use if I made the part to sell as it was quite brittle.
I used what I was going to make lenses out of.
I recently found the mold and once I finish cleaning out my garage, I will have another go at it.
As for chroming, if I do make any to sell, it will be up to the buyer to do that if they want, or maybe chrome paint

| not really, a mold is much easier and faster and can handle the detail.
Some things are usable. |
