The speed of 3D printed houses could be the route to get the CA fire areas fixed. They should also be easier to get insurance on.

in case one has missed this:

For sure nothing you would get done for a normal vintage car but for very, very special cars this technology is god-given...

Well, this thread inspired me to buy a Burtz engine. I love driving my 1931 Victoria and while it has a perfectly good "diamond B" block, being able to "future proof" my car with a Burtz engine has been something I've wanted to do for a long time.

I plan to keep my car as close to Judging Standards as possible, so this Burtz will serve as the foundation for all "correct" additional parts. I also bought an Aeries muffler yesterday. I figured as long as things are going to be torn apart for the engine swap, might as well change that out too.

I don't know what the tariffs will do, or if they will have any effect, but I needed a push to finally buy one and this was enough of a push for me.

New tariffs driving increased demand for *checks notes* Chinese products. Well done everybody.

I disagree the scanning and high tech reusable plug can be used to create 1,000s of accurate repo parts. While it's expensive to make 1 it gets cheap spreading those costs over 100s of parts.
