For those who want to roll their own designs, using 3d Cad software. Tinkercad is a interesting free method to produce formatted files to drive your cnc machine(or, your neighbors). Would be an interesting way to produce very accurate cabinets and mounts for use within the GMC.
Also, to get the designs produced, there is a web site "www.100kGarages.com" that has an interactive map of the U.S., showing small businesses that will reproduce your designs, in the material of your choice. Since a ShopBot costs around $10K, this maybe an economical method of developing your ideas.

Hey Tom!
It has been a while. I believe I saw Tinkercad at the MakerFaire this summer. Am I remembering correctly?
Do you know anyone here in the DC area with a CNC? I have some non-gmc stuff I need to get made and would love to keep it local.

Robert,
If you don't find anyone local, get in touch with me. I've got a friend,
the machine shop instructor at the local technical college, who has his own
large CNC mill and lathe. He makes the electric wiper parts for me. Good
& economical.
