If you can find a car that someone will allow you to play with,

Part of me wondered if there would be a way to measure a model car (like you put together as a kid) and somehow get measurements off of it, increase those based on whatever scale the model is, and somehow use those to create drawings to base a buck or mold off of. I may know a place that has a CMM but am unfamiliar with it.




The trick is, of course, not to damage the car while making your

parts!
