Extra Parts, Boxes, Instructions, Etc.
Oldmopars replied to bluestringer's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Hopefully this is s related on topic question. Some of you store models in a shed, how well do they do in the heat? What is too hot? I too am running out of space and have plenty of room in a shed. However summer can get very warm here and I don't want all my kits getting warped and ruined. I've been thinking about stuffing them under the house, it's a lot cooler down there(no basement) -
Looks good, what software do you use?

Offenhauser Engine for 3D print
Oldmopars replied to Oldmopars's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
It is no longer available on cults. Please see Texas 3D Customs for a high quality print. -
With the upcomming issue of the Garwood C series Ford, I was thrilled to find this gem in my local area. I talked to the mechanic and it seems it is still working and used as a back up when needed. It is showing its age, but it is still in good shape, nearly all rust is surface rust, other than a little on the compactor. A tag in the window says it is a 1978 C8000 (emblems confirm this), engine is a Cat see picture, something ending in 36. I took a lot of pictures, if you want more, let me know.

Offenhauser Engine for 3D print
Oldmopars replied to Oldmopars's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
This is the transmission with the offy. Found on the H.A.M.B. It is a Model A Ford Transmission. see this thread: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/offenhauser-racing-transmission.1088178/ It seems this was a comon trans to use behind these engines in the early years. That is why it is the trans modeled to be used with it. While any trans could be adapted, and many were, this seemed the most era correct one to include. Any others would have been latter and not correct for the era. -
W925 Logger
Oldmopars replied to Saltie Olds's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I tried to get a front axle from KFS and they were out of stock. So, I made my own. I also made the Rockwell T-138 transfer case to go with it. These should be available very soon from Texas 3D Customs. -
1939 Ford Towtruck
Oldmopars replied to Nosferatu's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I agree, top notch products. I have their stuff on several builds. I love this truck, I love how simple the old tow trucks were. -
Post your truck mockups.
Oldmopars replied to Mike C.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Love the wheels/tires. Where are they from? -
Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!
Oldmopars replied to Belairconvertable's topic in WIP: Model Cars
That is cool. I'm build a motor home out of one of those. I love the ambulance idea. -

Volvo FH16 520
Oldmopars replied to iamsuperdan's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I too love building Italeri Kits. They build so nice. This turned out great, very nicely done. Cool Truck. -
I have the first print of the frame for the 60-72 Chevy trucks. Ascan be seen in the pictures below, it is a great fit for the Revell 65-66 trucks. The frame fits great with te interior on the 72 Chevy trucks. If you are doing a long bed 4x4 1960 AMT, it will work but it is not "Correct" as they had an X style frame due to the torsion bar design. The 1960 is also wider at the rear. I am not sure if this is an early frame thing or an AMT thing. I modeled the frame straight off factory service manual drawings.

Driven Axle for trucks, 3D Print File
Oldmopars replied to Oldmopars's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Well I got one printed. I had to go back and up size the tie rods and arms as thy were just too small. I used the Pete Tow truck as a model and these are the front drums from it. Total axle width is the same as the Pete. It is steerable. If you would like the file let me know. -
The 2022 Cannonball Run Year of Birth Build Thread
Oldmopars replied to disconovaman's topic in Community Builds
I really like the 190, good looking car, but the features of the resin body all seem a bit "chubby". Like it was meant to be a 1/32 scale and was just scaled up. I am sure that you will make it into one great looking car.
