VINTAGE CASTINGS

MODERN 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY HAS RADICALLY CHANGED THE WAY WE MAKE CASTINGS FOR ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILES.  IT IS NOW POSSIBLE TO ORDER A REPRODUCTION ENGINE BLOCK AND RECEIVE A FLAWLESS CASTING, AT A FIXED PRICE ON A FIXED SCHEDULE.  CASTING POROSITY & CORE SHIFT HAVE LARGELY BEEN ELIMINATED.  THE FIRST CASTING POURED IS OFTEN A GOOD CASTING.  TRIAL & ERROR FOUNDRY WORK IS MOSTLY A THING OF THE PAST, DUE TO MODERN SOLIDIFICATION SOFTWARE.

LEE STOHR HAS BEEN PRIVILEGED TO WORK ON THE REVERSE ENGINEERING OF CASTINGS OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE, INCLUDING A WRIGHT BROTHERS ENGINE AND INDY 500 RACE CARS BUILT BY HARRY MILLER.
BELOW ARE EXAMPLES OF CASTINGS  AND CAD WORK  BY STOHR DESIGN.
