So our youngest graduated both high school and got a two year degree last June. He was then admitted to a prestigious school in Manhatten with a partial scholarship.
I was under the impression that he was going to study art and design. He surprised me with this from one of his intro classes.
I wasn't even aware that he liked cars for any other purpose than travel. One of his classmates is a German girl who's father is the lead interior designer for Bugatti. You may have read an article about him on the Porsche website...
He says "Dad! Send me obsolete parts to scan!." Ok. I'll see what I can do...

Well Rob - Automotive Design IS one of the design disciplines!
Lucky you! Ask him if he can also use the school's 3D printer to print them out in usable form & materials.
I know that they've done that at the Art Center School of Design's Automotive Design Dept. here in Pasadena.
Congratz on your son's progress!

He can use the 3D printer. I guess it's huge!

I know, the billet hub reference was my attempt at a joke, from the 4 lug thread.
