The process feels complicated when I start but many hours of preplanning gets it simplified for me. I I were to include my mental hours in my total hours the number should probably double! 😁
Ken - Yes, I'll be using the CNC to cut the forms. If I didn't have the CNC I would print the shape, bandsaw and sand to the line. I worked with the vectors directly for the first set of curves and then created B-spline curves for the final shapes. I don't see the need, but I could use the B-spline curves to sweep a solid body model of the tailgate. The trim pattern will surround a VW logo emblem.
