Started on a new project as if i dont have enough going already. Finally broke down and bought the 1/12 scale camaro. Immediately got out the calipers and started designing parts for it. Heres a couple pics of the wheels and brakes ive machined for it. As well as a size comparison with my belvedere. thanks for looking!

heres a few pics of some work done on the camaro. made a model of the intake manifold and 3d printed it. got it cleaned up and fuel rails made. filled in the recesses in the front end for the bumper so it looks more like the 67 style front. also go a front splitter mocked up and ready to go. pulleys also got machined. thanks for looking!

The printer certainly brings a new dimension to building with the ability to design and print your own parts.  Anxious to see how this killer Camaro comes together!!!  Very cool so far!!!????????

Wow, I frequent this section regularly but somehow missed this one completely. Love the work you've done and I especially get a kick when standard kits are manipulated for the better with custom parts, be it scratch built by hand or by 3d printer. Nice work on the seats and wheels. What material did you machine the wheels from? Also, did you machine one and mold/cast the rest? 

Thanks for sharing!
