  1. When you download a file in Cults they show Craftcloud as an option to find someone who will print what you download. I added my blower to it and got a bunch of options. It was about $5 to print and $12 for shipping. A body would be a lot more I presume. A quote is free but you have to upload your file. https://craftcloud3d.com/ Good luck.
  2. I posted my Paxton superchager to Cults as a test. Free to download. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/paxton-blower
  3. Nice project! Good luck to you both.
  4. I did a similar build as a tribute to my father. He had one and it was the only two door car he'd owned since he started the family. I built it as I remembered it. I didn't have many problems with the body after cleaning up the flash. No warpage, and the chrome and the kit glass fitted well, so it should be a fun build.
  5. Good input! I thought about that as well. I've bought but not posted there but plan to.
  6. Cool project & awesome fabrication work.
  7. Now that's one sweet build!
  8. Wow Les, that's a high cost for dead dinos!
  9. Nice rare pony!
  10. A quick update on my Club DeMer entry. I know its been a while since I posted but I've been struggling with the front end and finally got it figured out. The setup I was using just wouldn't work so I opted for separating the nose from the hood and fixing it to the fascia, then I cut up the front end from a scrap body for the headlights to come up with this. Still needs some finishing but I'm almost there I think. On the engine, I designed the manifold cover as an homage to the original hood with the chrome strips. I'll add the chrome later. The seats and dash are just mocked in, but most of the interior parts are painted and ready to put in. Well, except the console, which I broke today. Oh well, reprint.
  11. Nicely done! Looks like a nice project.
  12. Sweet!
  13. Well done!
  14. Awesome craftsmanship!
  15. Nicely done!
  16. Hi Stefano. I don't know the process, but it can be done in Blender. There is at least one person in the forum that knows it to a better degree. Perhaps they can be of help. If you don't have Blender it is a free download so just Google it. Good luck.
  17. Welcome Dave!
  18. 3D Scale has a similar product at about the cost of a kit. https://www.3dscaleparts.com/product-page/1-25-speedway-19-shallow-and-deep-wheels-on-big-and-little-vintage-tires
  19. Nicely done!
  20. I just remembered. I had a late 60's Ford Econoline van that I bought in the eighties. I bought it as a project after I sold my Chevelle, as vans were popular then. After driving it about a month I took it back. It was grossly underpowered and kind of swayed around corners. Sound bounced around the empty interior and it always seemed cold. Some people loved them, but it moved me away from vans forever.
  21. Info for those using water washable resin. I had been using what was locally available from Microcenter which is eSun and Inland. The results were brittle parts that limited me to what I could print, so I decided to try something else, and while searching I came across a result for Phrozen water washable model gray resin. It was touted as non-brittle so I bought a bottle. The result was great. I was finally able to print a pulley and belt setup that I designed for my Ardun head flathead engine and finally had success. the thin belt section was pliable enough that I was able to cut the support from it and not break the belt. I could see the flex in the part, but it didn't break as it had before. The pic below shows the Sun and Inland resin usually resulted. The pic is in white resin but I also tried grey but I didn't save any for pics. The second pic shows the assembly on the engine. So although water washable resin is overall more brittle than alcohol washable resin, there are differences between water washable products.
  22. Beautifully done!
