3D printing is easy.  But you do have to have a 3D model from Sketchup, Blender,
AutoCAD or Other software.  Most library's now days have the printers.

    I don't know anything about 3D printing but is appears to me you can do about anything with it.  
    If you can 3D print the trim in plastic and then have it chrome plated it might be the easiest solution.

    All,
    
    Actually, there is some Pantera content as this relates to the console redesign I have given to 2511.
    
    
    I want to create a chromed gauge panel trim for all four sides of the new horizontal panel. I have collected OEM panel trim for this project to provide the raw material for the new, larger trim piece. 
    
    The project will require joining pieces to provide the longer lengths needed for the top and right hand portions of the trim. 
    
    I intend to have the finished piece chrome plated to mimic the OEM trim. I have access to a local chrome shop and they have indicated they are willing and able to take on the project when I get it to them. 
    
    I am hoping the list wisdom can guide and advise me on my options:
    
    TIG?  Brazing? Solder?  
    
    Also, and probably more important, is my need for someone who possesses the skill set to do this for me. :-|
    
    Thanks,
    
    Larry _______________________________________________
