Anyone have DXF files for the 911 Door Card?

I'm fabbing up some RS door panels out of aluminum and i thought i would start with a good CAD file if it exists. The exterior is lime green, and the cars are going to be brushed aluminum, with a black border and a transparent orange powder coat...

Two things:

First, it shouldn't be difficult to create a CAD file of the door cards if you have the original panels, CAD software, and the ability. Are you planning on having these laser or waterjet cut?

Second, my guess is that those who might have these files use them for their business to make money. Thus, they are not likely to give their proprietary info up for free. There is a reason why engineering/manufacturing costs money. I make a couple of things for Porsches as a side business and I actually had someone email me asking for CAD files that took dozens of hours to create. Yeah, right.

Good luck though,
Jim

There's nothing wrong asking/offering it in enthusiast forums. I have personally sent CAD drawings of 924/931 head gasket to guys who have been interested in order to make copper ones with water cutting.

For me it is hobby, not business and to be honest it is sad when everything is turned into business and everyone is looking how to get the last dollar from you. But it's just me.
