Gauging interest in 1965-7 Skylark LONG armrest bases in aluminum! See the pics!

No. Nothing new. Car got finished, went to the Nats, then other very time consuming other interests interfered. Not sure when or if I can get back to this any time soon.

 

Any update? I'd be in for a pair as well. You did outstanding work on the first set, I'd imagine them only getting better by familiarity and faster to replicate. Doug

 

I would be interested in a pair or two also if these get produced.

 

I regret I have not got back to this. With work and some other non-car related functions I'm involved with, I just haven't had time.

I will be bringing my car to the Nats again this year, stop by and check them out. Maybe a little in-person persuasion might get the fire lit under me to maybe make a few sets.

 

looks like he was scared away with all this talk about OEM look and fitment. hell I just wanted something that would compliment all the money I have put into my interior, who wants a couple of thousand dollars in the interior and have broken and painted, and glued repaired armrest base if you can find them. Looking on ebay a couple of nights ago. Someone had 4 of them in really bad shape for $52 one was in broken in half this is my choice. Me I'll take what ever Jim can produce

 

I'm in need of a set of 14" Armrest bases for my 67 GS project. I have access to 3D printing tools through my work, but what i do not have is a drawing or sample of the 14" armrest base to work from. Wasn't sure if there were drawings from this Aluminum Project, or if someone had a 14" armrest base of these that i could borrow for modeling purposes.

I think 3D printing and then chrome plating is a viable option and i'm happy to share the model and printing information with the forum after.

 

Id be interested in a set.

 

All i need to work on this is a part sample. I should only need it for about a week to do the modeling.

Anyone willing to ship me one? I'll send it right back when done...

 

I have one I can send I’m in vancouver wa.

 

Are you making these? If so what’s the price?

 

I only made the one prototype set for my car. I don't have any plans to make any others at the present time.

 

Thanks for the update! If you decided to make more I would be interested. Thanks again!

 

Did you get a sample to work with for the 3D printed version? I have a set of four for my 1967 Olds Cutlass Four Door that are the same style as the 1964 Buick Skylark.

Aluminum or engineered composite: either are better than brittle and cracked.

 

I sent one off months ago, Havent heard anything.

 

Well you did ship it to a new member. Im curoius what a 3d printer can do. Pretty cool with new tech we can reproduce new parts for old cars.

 

This thread should be renamed no longer gageing interest.
