| Need taillight lens trim for a '60 DeSoto. I've already got excellent taillights, but they are missing the chrome crescent accents; three per side.
I really just want to buy the chrome pieces from your smashed / rotten lenses and will do so in any condition. I will buy complete taillight lenses as well, but I'm not expecting to find them easily.
Please let me know if you can help! Thanks!!

Location: Northen Virginia | those are called "chevrons" and it is my understanding that are reproduced by the the guy overseas who would probably will still your money if you don't pay him with paypal. I'm not giving this guy business but I would like to help you to find that part which is virtually impossible.

| Thanks for the reply... I've used George many times. Quality has been outstanding, but communication & delivery - not so much. I had to get medieval a couple times to get my parts... I'm hoping for a better option here. |

There's been a lot of talk here on the board lately about 3-D printing. These seem like an ideal part for that kind of tool - knock out a few sets and get them flash/vacuum chrome plated.
Does anyone here have access to, or know someone with access to, the equipment necessary to 3-D scan and print something like this?
If so I have a half-set (one lens worth) which I would be willing to loan for the cause.

Location: So. Cal | You can even 3D-print in stainless steel and then polish them. No chrome necessary. I think that would be ideal, but expect around $80 per piece in cost. |
