Superbird McMonte Posted December 27, 2020 I’ve been trying to teach myself to draw in 3-D the last two weeks. I’m using Fusion360 And I’ve created several different projects from YouTube videos. My first solo project was the painted hubcap pictured below. It’s for the 1970 Monte Carlo. My second drawing is the plain Jane hub cap or a base model for the 1970-72 Monte Carlo. After that, a friend of mine asked me to draw an air cleaner for Mr. Norms Dodge Tri-Power. And presently I’m working on a Hone O Drive for my Motion cars.

1972coronet Posted December 30, 2020 Hone-O-Drive was located about a mile from where I grew up ; I remember their facility on Washington Blvd x Broadway . I don't remember when they relocated or went out-of-business... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a guy I went to high school with in the 80's that had a really, really nice triple black one. I seem to remember his had a 350 engine and gate-style floor shifter. That was one sweet car!!!

Here is my car from High School! Triple black 350 with a two speed powerglide, bucket seats at center console. Not a real SS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Repstock Posted January 4 (edited) A word of caution: If any recessed areas of the wheel cover need to be painted black, you have to exaggerate the depth, and possibly width, of those areas. A wheel cover drawn to scale will have those areas too shallow to paint, and they'll fill with the plating process.

Superbird McMonte Posted February 3 I sent most of my files to be printed. In the meantime I tried printing them myself on a Photon printer. I would love to recommend this printer, but it is extremely finicky and difficult to set up. It prints about 25% of the time. I have a friend that uses them for his business and has had great success. I have two of them and one prints nothing at all any other prints when it feels like it. Below are some of my prints. The rest of these were printed by my friend on a different kind of printer. The tires have primer on them as does the air cleaner at the bottom.
