  1. Hey Gary, how'd you get it to sit so high?
  2. Great post! I'd also like to add after reading that MSDS, "most of all, don't get it in your eyes!"
  3. Great post. I had seen this vid and even thought about buying a VOC meter. I still may someday soon.
  4. Thanks for posting the MSDS. The company I retired from req'd annual hazardous chemical training so I'm very familiar. For me, my resin printer is in the room I paint in and I turn on my paint booth blower while I'm printing (which is what I'm doing right now!) and I have confidence it is adequate. I also use my paint respirator from the time I enter until I leave.
  5. I'm not a van guy but love customs. Very impressive work!
  6. Very nicely done!
  7. I love the idea Les, but as a separate CB, like the Peking to Paris. Propose it as a new CBP and see what responses you get.
  8. A work of art! Thanks for the ride, its been a fun journey!
  9. This build represents a very capable high-end entrant for a cross-country race. It is equipped with a high output V-8 engine paired with two electric motors that can augment the gas engine for more speed, or run separately to conserve gasoline. My additions to the oob kit are as follows: Added printed wheels I scaled to match the staggered kit tires, and altered the mounting to match the kit wheel mounts for a perfect fit & painted them Createx Satin Gold. The print file is from Black Box on Cults3D. Photo etch front and rear air vent screening, front placard, rear 918 Spyder lettering, shoulder belt hardware, front Porsche badge & disc rotor skins are from Hobby Design. Shoulder belts are white ribbon painted the same color as the seats. I designed and printed a Porsche factory fire extinguisher that comes stock on the 918. It’s hard to see in front of the passenger seat but I just wanted to add something else to the interior. On the engine, I used yogurt sealing foil for exhaust blankets, and fiberglass screen to replicate the heat shields on the catalytic converters, aged the tranny a bit, and heat stained the exhausts based on photos. Additionally, though kit items, the rear canards are not indicated on the instruction sheet, and I’ve never seen them on another build. I added those after figuring out how.
  10. Back to your original question. I was looking at this one a while back but didn't pull the trigger. I haven't bought from these folks in the past so check the forum for comments about them. http://www.resinrealm.net/Star/STAR Models/Belly_Tanker.html
  11. Though this one defies that assumption. https://www.streetmusclemag.com/news/hot-rods-you-should-know-tom-beattys-1951-belly-tank-lakester/
  12. I saved this article a while back when I was planning mine. Like you said, very simple frame. https://www.motortrend.com/features/belly-tank-racer-east-coast-custom/
  13. When did you get the body? I've been nagging him for 2 years now.
  14. Good stuff! Every time I say this is my last Run, great new ideas pop up. I'm liking the service vehicle, and full size car ideas, personally.
  15. Finishing up as well. I have some detail items to add but the 918 will be at the start line.
  16. Awesome! Glad its back as well.
  17. I bought a couple of files from him! Good stuff.
  18. Check this out. I saw it a while back when I was contemplating buying a scanner.
  19. My only altered. Did a build thread on this a couple of years ago.
  20. Awesome job!
  21. Sorry to hear about your loss Mike. Nice work on the sink!
  22. Awesome work there!
