jhuntsman Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) 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! Edited April 24, 2017 by jhuntsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhuntsman Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 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!

geewhiz Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 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!!!???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWT Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 This is slick... I don't get into this section often, but I'm glad I didn't miss this one. Can't wait to see it finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecklm Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 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!

jhuntsman Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Mecklm, the wheels are aluminum. They are 2 pieces. I turned all the wheel sleeves on the lathe out of a piece of tube and cut the centers out of a piece of plate in a haas cnc mill. Thanks for the feedback guys!
