I've been slowly adding a couple of 3D files to my site at the Boogie Machine and over on Cults3D on my profile @theBoogieMachine. I might be adding some physical prints soon, but life tends to get in my way every time I plan to do that, so no promises. I'm a disabled vet dealing with lots of medical issues and appointments, also a father of 3. Always something keeping me busy around here. I will try to update here if I do get some physical prints listed on the site. For now, hope you guys enjoy the files. 😎🤙 FYI, if anyone has any questions or comments, the easiest/quickest way to message me is through Facebook on my @theBoogieMachine page there, but I do have a contact form on my website as well. If any of you guys have suggestions for parts that aren't on the market already, feel free to drop me a line. I'm self taught and still a complete rookie learning a lot about CAD design and 3D printing, so please keep that in mind.

Thank you! 😎🤙

Hey, thank you for the positive feedback man, appreciate it. I just sprayed the side pipes with some SpazStixx chrome. The lighting was from Evan Designs. I got one of their kits with two pink LEDs and one warm white LED, it comes pre-wired with a button cell battery and a switch. I glued the battery and switch to the underside of the floor pan and ran the wiring up the inside of the body to the roof for the pink overhead lights, and ran the wiring for the TV behind the bar cabinet. Evan Designs Link the bar cabinet, TV, and side pipes were designed by me and 3D printer on my Uniformation GKTwo printer. I also sell the files at cults3d or on my website under the "Digital Products" tab. I hope to start selling physical 3D prints at some point in the near future, but not sure when I'll get that up and running. Link to my Profile on Cults3D Link to my site "the Boogie Machine"

Thank you guys.

I used a fuzzy child's shirt I found at Goodwill for the shag carpet.

Thank you for all the wonderful compliments guys, I really appreciate it.

Thank you sir!

Did this build for the November group build-off in Herk's Modelworks group on Facebook. Pretty happy with how it came out. Flaws and all it was a really therapeutic build in a time I really needed to just escape the world for a while and focus on some personal stuff. I built it somewhat stock with an aftermarket distributor, some 3D printed Cragars and "Sticky Mickeys" boas ply tires. Also added some of my 3D printed side pipes that I designed for the Ford van I built last year. Paint is a Createx gold base. Then faded the graphics in with some Sangria candy (brighter red front), Merlot candy (darker red to the rear), and ended up hazing in a little Violet Candy at the very rear all from Tropical Glitz. Axalta clear coat. Also added a mild lift to the rear leaves to clear the bigger tires in back. Shag carpet is from a fuzzy kids shirt I found at Goodwill and Moon foot pedals were photoetch parts ordered online. Hope you guys dig it.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, really appreciate that.

One of my favorite songs as my 1:1 is a Chevy ?

Thank you guys for all the compliments! It was a pretty fun build, aside from the typical AMT stuff I seem to find on every one of their models I build like an over abundance of flashing and mold marks, weird things like numbered parts in the instructions but no numbers on the actual sprues/trees, and things that don't quite make much sense like why is the steering wheel sitting ON the driver seat. All that stuff aside, I still enjoyed building it and screwing around with a bunch of new stuff.

Just finished this one up for a tribute build and auction at Herk's Modelworks on Facebook. Herk passed away in December and a bunch of us in the group are doing builds to auction off on March 16th, sending the proceeds to his family. I'm quickly learning that AMT's kits are a hot mess anymore, at least a lot worse than I remember them being when I was younger, but I still had fun with it. Hopefully he would be proud of it. Paint is from Tropical Glitz using their hot pink basecoat called "Miami Nightlife" and airbrush fade of violet candy around the lower 1/4. I designed and printed the TV, the bar cabinet, and the side pipes. LEDs from Evan Designs (two pink lights in the rear cabin and a warm white for TV backlight). Shag carpet courtesy of a hot pink kids coat from Goodwill, foam bed is covered in some hot pink zebra striped kid's coat material from Goodwill, and diamond stitched interior panels are made of craft foam. Gull wing side door, and some Slixx decals. Also made the pic of Herk with his ice cream truck build for the TV. Threw some magazines on the dash and cabinet, made a "fancy smoking pipe" from a bead set I found at Hobby Lobby, and added a Farrah Fawcett poster to the wall. I think that's about all, but probably forgetting something. Hope you dig it. ??

Thank you for the wonderful responses guys. I really appreciate it. Didn't do well in the monthly build off, but I'm not discouraged at all. Had a great time building and learning.

Thanks guys. I will recommend another kit if you plan on building this car.

Thank you guys.
