I’ve used 3D printing services to make parts for art projects before, and it’s amazing technology. The idea of using it to create parts for cars certainly isn’t new, either— Jay Leno has been doing it for a while, it seems. What I’m suggesting is that it’s time to start a very ambitious project: a freely-available database of scanned auto parts, so restorers and enthusiasts and curators of the future will be able to keep their babies running.

We Need a Google Books for Car Parts

Brilliant. I love that Torchinsky volunteers Google.
