  1. i told myself to avoid massive amounts of cutting but shaving isnt cutting
  2. thanks, its still a kit engine but amazing what some dressing does
  3. cleaned the engine bay on my 67 by moving the alternator and switching it with a kit version of the front plate electric pump combo and then i made standalone moroso waterpumps
  4. my spraybooth is still under construction but i decided to clean the engine bay up while i wait on stuff, i basically made a kit like setup with a electric pump and decided to relocate the alternator to a lower part on the engine im debating making a see through shroud since i accidentally opened up to much space
  5. all are free to download https://cults3d.com/en/users/DaftWheels https://www.youmagine.com/daftwheels/designs
  6. I got a set of those from a caster in England he makes most of the euro wheels out
  7. Shapeways issue, i came across it a while back not a issue with new LCD resin
  8. Im still heavily invested in RC and 3D printing but getting back to building in 2021 wish some low skill builds. All the custom pieces are 3D printed.
  9. Im not the least bit surprised it happened. They kept featuring the same builds show after show, ignored the younger lowriders and big wheel builders. Its also model builders fault for bringing the same builds show after show for years. MCM isnt far behind
  10. Actually everybody switched to the 3D engines hes gonna have to work hard to catch up
  11. Theyre both eldogs it all depends because hes putting all the money up for it thats something that doesnt happen in the hobby often. The riviera will be pretty close to stock compared to the eldorado
  12. More than likely they will be heavily modified since the owner of the burgundy one is willing to bankroll the entire project from drawing to casting
  13. sometime in february the weather isnt cooperating for molding and casting
  14. Bumpers are updated and the wheels are from a Saab9000. Most of my cars will have minor customization like trim delete and smoothed bumpers
  15. It was stock but it wasnt doing well with the crowds i was targeting, this is more aimed at Youngtimers
  16. Wont take much to make it stock but because of my main customer base the car will do better as a custom. minilites are easy to get im sticking with the 9000 3 spokes
  17. Its gonna be almost a full kit Interior,glass,lenses,modernized late model 900 wheels and a simple pan chassis for cost reasons, being its my first im going to keep them curbside after that possibly do roller style casts. The cars will be aesthetically updated since factory isnt something i care much for. If this sells well the next build will be a 87/88 B2200 Mazda Truck and following that a Volkswagon SP2 thats more or less going to be designed to fit the Tamiya VW bug and the third release if all goes well a 80s Eldorado convertible/Riviera convertible(maybe).
  18. Revell will be fine theres plenty of boomers left with cash flow.
  19. im at 470$ but keep in mind i spent 600$ a year on just parts one year but i also can draw most of my own parts. the hard part is finding parts but i started a massive 3d parts repository thats updated once a month. i mostly cater to larger wheels and lowriders but im moving closer to having 1/25 wheels from 13" to 34" and some components in between. i also started with a team of artists to help them bring 3d cars to the printable realm.
  20. I thought about rendering it but ill wait till the rocket bunny version
  21. its a Z4 based on a tutorial i saw on youtube right now just getting the basics down.
