  1. Awesome work! Imma try to replicate your headlight trim rings for my build.
  2. On the tire issue, some designers tend to use the same ID for the tire as the OD of the wheel. Misfit every time. It takes work to figure out what the difference is and I guess some designers don't know how or aren't willing to make the calculations. It could be that they'd rather them be too tight and need to be sanded, than too loose and require adding styrene to take up the slack.
  3. I get mine via email so I don't have to go thru that.
  4. Many newer cars with turbos come with Variable Geometry Turbos (VGT) where the vanes in the turbo change depending on the speed to reduce lag. Which also, unfortunately makes them more expensive, and probably less reliable.
  5. I've never seen it done before.
  6. So I've rounded the final turn and heading down the home stretch. I got paint on the Vega and flocked the interior floor a bit. I've got to wire the engine and install it, finish the interior and then start assembly, and add minor details.
  7. Beautiful build!
  8. Welcome to the forum Chris! Good luck with your painting, and your wife!
  9. Well, at the time (2022), I've used Cloudcraft to print a nice file for me, but since then the printers I've used from them have been less than acceptable. There have been a couple of people mention on this forum that they'd print on request, but since I bought a new printer I just print my own.
  10. Cool build!
  11. Nicely done!
  12. Thanks guys!
  13. Thank you all for the compiments.
  14. Dude, that takes me back! That was my first car, same color outside but solid color seats. My grandma gave it to me. It had been sideswiped on the passenger side and it had fairly minor dents in both doors, but it was a one reliable ride that took me thru my senior year in high school.
  15. Well, I just logged into mine using my ancient Moto G6.
