Its good if they're using resin, but most libraries only have FDM because they don't have fumes and are considered safe.

I would not recommend full strength PP. I had a part destroyed by it, though I soaked it for a day. I've had a few resins as well, but all I've ever used was Dawn dish detergent with a brush and never had any issues. All you're trying to do is remove the mold release agent, which anything that cuts grease will do. Never used powdered cleanser but I'm sure it does the job, too.

Its a great resource, but it does have gaps in years depending on the state. If you don't care what state you can check another state for the year you want. -
First, my disclaimer: I'm not a customizing expert! ? Personally I like the look. Purists may have a prob with it but to me it flows well. I do think the look would be enhanced if it sat lower, and I agree that the rear wheel could move in a tad. Try putting a piece of tape primed with the same color over the gap in the front fender to see how it looks. I think it is visually distracting. You may also want to try different wheel sets to see how they look. Thanks for sharing your work.

To me that looks like a good subject for scratch building. Its has a fairly simple design made of mostly simple geometric shapes. The only issue is the carbs, which you can probably trade for.

I've cobbled together a couple from parts box parts. Its hard to make them universal. The attachment points are different, and the wheel to wheel distance is different. I also designed one in CAD for 3D printing. Its designed so that you can use wire for the tie rod ends for adjustment. If you know someone that would print it for you you can download it here for free. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/front-suspension-set

I can only speak on my experiences but I've had the least success with acrylics. It could be my technique, as I'm no great painter. I've tried the 50/50 split enamel/thinner method and it is good to use to avoid clear coats, as it comes out shiny. Personally, I love pre-thinned lacquers for how they spray for me, but you need to clear them. In the end, your patience, practice, and personal preference will determine what's best for you. G'luck! -
I gave up on 3D printed headers. I've got about 3 sets that never fit the chassis that the engine is going in. Like Bill says, make your own.
