Welcome to the fray Todd!

Nicely done!

Nice project! I bought a print file for a simple body and plan to build a chassis for it for an engine.

Great project, and awesome detailing!

I've only had my printer for about 6 months, which isn't "long term", but no warpage, shrinkage, etc. Also, I and many others use a curing station, so most of the time its cured as much as it is going to before we even use it. Lots of folks have been printing bodies for a couple of years though and I've never heard of that issue coming up. I do know that both resins and FDM filament have undergone big changes in formulation over the years.

I like it and would love to see you give it a go. I did this one for a previous CBR and it turned out to be fun.

Yeah, I tried that and he said he'd do it but never did. I'll hit him up again I guess. Thanks.

Definitely looking the part!

Nice! I'll be watching the 4 dr conversion because I need to convert one for a tribute build.

Nicely done! My first car was a blue 66 Biscayne so there's a soft spot for this one.

Very well done! Impressive detail work.

That's a sweet pick David!

I decided to weird this one out. I hope concept cars are okay because I'm going with the '56 Club DeMer. I've had the kit a while and was planning on making it a "what if Pontiac had made this" but never did. Its a curbie that I'll add a drivetrain to, and make it look a bit less concept with some Corvette parts, and ditching the fin. I'm kinda aiming for the second pic that is a rendering someone made in Grand Theft Auto. It won't be easy but I'm counting on it being fun.

This C7 is a combination of the Foose C7 and the C7R race car. Because I used the stock hood, the racing manifold was too tall so I designed and printed a replacement manifold. I removed all of the racing equipment from the trunk area and added a fuel cell, battery, and fire suppression equipment. This was not a plug and play operation, there was a lot of trimming and adjusting required because although they are both Revell C7 Corvettes, they are very different cars.

Also, I just printed this and it didn't require any knowledge. The file was set up with multiple thicknesses so reducing it didn't cause it to be too thin. I did it on an FDM printer but it would be smoother on a resin printer but I only print parts on my small resin printer.

You have to learn CAD to make your own files but not to 3D print. You can learn how to use a program like Blender to clean up files but full CAD ability isn't necessary for that. It helps but its not for everyone, tho. I've been practicing CAD for about 6 months and here are some of my designs.

Beautifully done!

Really coming along nicely! I love the heat shield work.

Very nicely done!

Nice! I had a silver 1985 base model and that brings back memories. Well, the paint matches it anyway. ?

No need for apologies. You gave it a good go and that's all we can ask for. Thanks for putting the time in on it.

Nice!

Killer build! Nice catch.

Awesome work!

Thanks Carl.
