AN INDEPENDENT WORKSHOP / NEW HAMPSHIRE
Old cars.
Modern
materials.
Hard-to-find parts. Useful new ideas.
I design and 3D-print fixes for old-car problems, across makes and models.

A PART YOU NEED. AN IDEA YOU HAVE.
Two ways to get started.
Something already
02 / CUSTOM DESIGN & PROTOTYPING
Something that
doesn’t exist yet?
A missing piece, a broken original or a useful addition. Bring the problem, not a CAD file.

FROM THE BENCH / BUILD LOGS
The work, one part at a time.
What worked, what didn’t, and where each part stands.
BUILD LOG 001 · 1983 CELICA SUPRA (A60)
Rebuilding the sun visor clip
A broken visor clip, twelve versions, and a v12 in ASA that’s back in the car.

BUILD LOG 002 · IN LONG-TERM TESTING
Modern wiper blades on the original arms
Printed adaptors so modern blades fit the original arms. In long-term testing on the car; not for sale.
READ THE LOG →“BUT WILL IT LAST?”
The job chooses
the material.
01 / HEAT
A car parked in the sun.
ASA handles cabin heat far better than ordinary PLA.
02 / UV
Sunlight, day after day.
Some plastics fade and crack in sun. ASA is a strong candidate.
03 / FLEX & WEAR
The thousandth use.
Clips flex, holders stay rigid. The plastic has to match.
A material can be capable. A part still has to prove it.
THE EVIDENCE SO FAR
Where each part stands.
Founder work so far, all from my Supra. Nothing here is a ready-to-buy range yet.
