I think I saw a lot of the same stl files someplace - the same seller as the 3D parts. If I come across them I’ll post it.

Second paragraph also says “1967 Chevy”. I get annoyed at all the internet “journalism” and obvious errors - the language in that whole 8 second “article” is horrible. With basically no cost to post these words, there is no reason to have an editor - as would the case be in old school print.

If you’re doing a Texas car, get out the big drill bit…

She is a Maine Coon. She’s pretty and weird in a good way.

Our orange cat - Miss Birdie - will sit for hours watching tv.

Kind of have to agree…just don’t tell the others…

I really appreciate odd scales - thanks for making them available. I will go through your website for future purchases - thanks!

3/4 of the gang.

Filling up the back with essentials:

Nice work! Good looking model. I think it’s a testament to how nice this resin conversion kit is that people are finishing them and they are coming out looking great!

Nice! Good looking model. I like the old baby bumper Pintos.

Yeah, not all bad. I think on my original photos, though, it would hard to damage the plastic without damaging the underlying sheet metal, or where it's attached, especially if the plastic is proud of the metal.

If you could get a hold of Paul Hettick, he might share his shipping tips. He creates and sells models on eBay that sell for four figures, so probably a lot of experience shipping very expensive items.

Very nice looking model. Great work.

1971 to 73 - the glorious small bumper days…but, yeah, could be stock up through the 78.

Here are the rest of the parts for the engine above:

Scott, if you haven’t, take a look HERE - check out the “572” script on the valve covers. That’s a 1/32 scale engine. I think I read on his Facebook he was getting an 8K printer - I don’t know what those parts were printed with, but they are nice. So, yeah, printers matter.

Does anybody know what the real dead is with these folks? Do they actually fulfill any orders? Do they have anything actually in stock? Or is it just 100% take money and hope people won't be willing to fight for their money? They do put a lot of effort into their website(s), it appears. Maybe they should just direct that toward a legitimate business.

You might be able to get a 1/25 from Texas 3D. Some of his items on eBay have instructions in description for different scales - I asked him about it because I’d like to get some stuff in 1/20. Whatever printer he is using, along with his skills in using it, produce a super nice product.

I recently acquired this Chevy engine from Texas 3D Customs in 1/32 scale (on their eBay store you can choose the scale) - It was such high quality I thought I should share it. There is very little discernible layering on these parts (all parts are 1/32 scale in photos) and very little cleanup on visible surfaces. There are some support “nubs” but they are easily knocked/sliced/sanded off. These are some of the nicest 3D parts I have purchased. He sells on eBay and, I believe, Facebook also. He has a slant Sox in the works…so, he will be getting more orders from me. Note the front bracket in the blower. Not something even remotely possible with molded parts. There are belts included also - I’ll add photos later

Thinking the same. I had to buy a replacement for mine and cost me about 16% of the whole new kit.

Haha. Well, if it’s made in the US, the federal govt can own it, regardless if it’s an American owned company or not - states have their own rules, if any. If it’s a US company but made in, say, Mexico - no. But, yeah, I’ve driven Hyundais and Toyotas with federal plates on them - assumed they were made in the US. And you’re also correct, most people would not: 1. Know there is such a law 2. Know where a Land Rover was made 3. Care I just happen to work for Uncle Sam, so I am a little aware. I like the steel wheels on it, personally - and those Awesome tires.

The 1933 Buy American Act may be a bigger LE standout than custom wheels!

Now see - I think the Kona has some decent lines and design going - but that whole front fender/fog light black plastic piece just looks weird.
