A friend of mine, Lee, called in his favor this week, to help him figure out how to restore this old rusting Jeep of his. The main thing to get started on, the shell is mostly rust at this point. So Lee asked me to do my thing and make some tooling to form replacements for the rusting parts. Here’s how I approached it:
Step 1: take a bunch of photos for reference and photogrammetric reconstruction.
Step 2: Reconstruct
This is a render of the cleaned mesh. Still pretty rough.
This is as far as I’ve gotten at the moment, there are a few questions about just what and how big he needs this tooling. I anticipate the next step will be to model the forms, and then cut them out on the CNC table. I’ll update this as time goes on.
