Fiat Dino Forum (FDF)

Further to the idea of 3D printing - here are a couple of links you may find informative or amusing. First is the kiwi guy, Ivan Sentch, who is making an entire body buck for an Aston Martin DB4 from a 3D model by printing out 150mm square (6") sections on a home 3D printer and assembling them ...

Hi, creating a 3D file of the grille, possibly of components that could clip together would be a great idea and posting the file for other forum members to get made when they need it would be a good start to a collection of resources. While 3D scanning and rapid prototyping may have its limitations ...

All good advice! I'd be happy with either 2.0 or 2.4 and, given that you are not likely to see many of either, why not go with the best quality one you can find whether it is the bigger engine or smaller engine?

I agree the re-chroming will give best results. It is actually just the rim that is on view and needs the most polishing. Pitting can be repaired by grinding out the corroded pit then brazing in the correct material - see this YouTube demonstration: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=utmgHTdlKBU&deskt...
