Who am I?

I'm Chris Lucas, I am a CAD designer based in the Netherlands. Using the latest technology, I help to restore and keep classic cars on the road. In my spare time I create 3D models of discontinued car parts that will be, for example, injection molded or 3D printed.

CAD

Fusion360

Some of my Fusion360 projects. Rotating beacon used as a reference model for the restoration of my Porsche. LED Matrix display with fully worked out PCB. Replica of a 1990's speed detection system. 3D printable replica of a 1980's data terminal used by Belgian police. Recreation of a BMW race car center console made using a 3D scan to ensure proper fitment.

3D scanning

Only existing image of the MP5 gun case in a Porsche 924 Police car, using a 3D scan of the doorpanel and a reference model of an MP5, it was recreated in CAD to create technical drawings for a carpenter to remake it.

BMW 3-series police center console made using an interior 3D scan and multiple images that are scarcely found on the internet.

Very rough 3D scan of a Porsche 924 to determine the mounting location of the sirens and lights.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Gendarmerie #1

The first Gendarmerie GTI I built, my own personal vehicle.

BMW 5-Series Kriminalpolizei

This 5 series was delivered directly from the BMW factory to the federal criminal police in germany in 2002. After the previous owner sideswiped a guardrail it was bound for the scrapyard, instead I took on the challenge and restored it back into original condition.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Gendarmerie #2

2nd Gendarmerie GTI that I built. Took a little over a week to do the whole conversion, which included fully stripping the interior to install a custom made wiring loom.

BMW 3-Series Police Car

I built this car for fun after receiving an original BMW police brochure, I recreated all the special interior pieces using CAD and 3D printing.

Volkswagen Golf GTI Gendarmerie #3

3rd Gendarmerie GTI that I built. Took me less then a week to do the whole conversion.
