Codi Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 So, I rolled out of bed and thought I'd just whip up an engine today in CAD........yeah, that's it..........SERIOUSLY Jason, that is pretty darn sweet not only that you can do such work but do it so quickly. You're very talented. Love the position of the turbos too. The entire car looks great and has a realistic look about it that is hard to get in 1/25th. congrats. tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have learned enough to fall down the rabbit hole of 3d. I appreciate your comments watching you and the others build these cars is really inspiring and always gotta get out of the comfort zone and try new stuff!

streetmachine11 Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 made some small progress last week. printed up a set of mirrored turbos and some mandrel bends. made a new headder collector and assembled the headders, turbos, bov, and intake tubes. the headders look much better to me and are closer together. ill just need to do the bullhorns on the body to finish them up as always thanks for lookin 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetmachine11 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 hello all started making some of the tinwork/flooring on the impala. after the new headders and turbos ill have to modify the firewall panels for better clearance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMuscleFan Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Glad to see the Impala back on the bench Jason! 😊 It would be a shame to let this beautiful project gather dust... Obviously, it will move some when it is completed! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 This is a fantastic build so far! I love reading posts like this to learn about new techniques and where to get certain aftermarket parts and pieces. Thank you for sharing! I do have a question. What is your method for bending the styrene for the cage and chassis? Do you localize heat it? If so, what tools do you use? Thank you in advance. I will definitely be following along on this build.

Dave thank you for your wonderful comment Dave when I bend my styrene rod, I use a candle. I hold the part 3.5 or 4 inches away just enough to make it bend without distorting the diameter or stretching the plastic. it takes verry little heat. hope this helps!

streetmachine11 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) update on the impala I've re-made the firewall to allow more clearance for the turbo/down pipe assembly. still need some finishing but it made a big difference. I've also made progress on the drives haft tunnel and safety tube as well as the drivers seat cage. been playing around with the dash too. without something there it looks odd. the dash looks nice with the body in place but when the body is off it looks really bulky. not really sure what ill do with that yet. thats all for now. as always tanks for lookin and comments are always welcome JS Edited February 15, 2022 by streetmachine11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
