having just received my 79 cherokee, purchased site unseen...it's a little rougher than i was expecting. but that's ok, i love it.
orig plan was to get it running reliably enough that i could drive it around town and fix/restore as necessary. now i'm thinking i'll just wait until i can put it on casters and go all in, frame off.
reading through projects other have done it know a lot of the plastic parts on these vehicles are just shot. old, dried out, brittle pieces of plastic gears and such. so has anyone here done any 3D printing of parts?
i've even wondered if one could 3D print fender flares? you'd either need quite a large printer to do a complete flare in one piece or do the flare in sections. i know someone was discussing pressing flares, which i think is a great idea and would be very interested in purchasing. but how about 3D printing something?
i know pretty much zero about 3D printing and am going to researching this. this may be a ridiculous idea and want opinions either way but thought i'd throw the thought out here.
cheers, md
