  1. Correct, and thus my question about the manifold type. Any car using tunnel ram would have a fairly gnarly cam, which wouldn't provide enough vac for accurate distributor advance in my experience..
  2. You mention a plenum, are you referring to a tunnel ram manifold?
  3. Steve makes great stuff. I follow him on FB but he hasn't posted in a while.
  4. Nice recovery! Looks beautiful!
  5. Well done!
  6. Really nicely done!
  7. Congratulations to her. Very nice looking build.
  8. Sweet!
  9. Killer build! Very well done.
  10. Just seeing this post. Glad your wife didn't get hurt. My wife and I got rear-ended by a young man this past summer and it took a month just to get the parts because they couldn't find aftermarket parts and we got factory stuff, then another couple of weeks to get it fixed. Our insurance company (Nationwide) was great. Covered most everything but we had rental coverage only for a sedan so the kid's insurance company (Liberty) made us whole in the end. I think they would have totaled it but because the cost of used cars was super crazy then, because in the end it was over $3K repair on a 2018 Nissan Rouge with 70K on the odometer.
  11. In my very recent experience it will take the paint with it, but the only way to know is to try. This is fresh lacquer paint, and it didn't touch the primer at all. I've sanded it a bit so I can touch it up with the airbrush.
  12. Nice!
  13. Can you post a pic of the body in the slicer? Maybe more support is needed where it sagged. I try to postmortem my fails by comparing the failed piece to the slicer result. Also, it looks like you physically cut the cab. I would cut it in a program like Blender or Meshmixer and then print it where possible.
  14. Very cool and in-depth customizing.
  15. I use Lychee with no probs and I have 16 gigs ram and an AMD Ryzen 5 chip on an older laptop, so no graphics card either. I've never used CB so I'm no help there. Have you looked at any of the YT vids to get an idea of how to use Chitubox?
  16. Those are some really, really wild customs! Have at it I say.
  17. Thanks Ricky. Never thought about tilting it but I'll do more mocking up before I make a final decision on everything.
  18. I love it, but it does take a bit of time away from building. Here's some of what I've designed for printing for my current & future builds.
  19. No different than anything else. Works fine.
  20. Welcome aboard Frank!
