The nice thing is I wouldn't need it designed, just scanned. Then printed

I would be looking to have 1/24 or 1/25 scale pieces scanned, then enlarged and printed. Thanks

I thought I remembered at one time seeing some one who was working on making new model parts on a 3d printer for resale. Is there anyone out there that does this. Some parts for my future build are available in the smaller scale, but not the larger scale. So interested in finding some one to talk to if there is any one. Thanks

I love that second one. Both very nice. Thanks

Zenrat, what color did you use. That it's a terrific color for my project. Nice concepts on both of those last two.Thanks

I like that red one. Nice stance on it. Also, thanks for sharing a butt shot on it. You seldom see butt shots of t buckets. Thanks.did those tires come out of the monogram 29 model a truck kit? I like those also. Thanks

That is another fine example. Thank you.what did you use for your grill. Looks like some sort of brass screen? Nice touch.just like I like the rear tires of the purple one. Thanks

Sorry here it is.

Ok. Note that I have a tad bit more time. From my understanding, the show rods from the early sixties led into the trend of the fad t in the seventies. I also understand that many have strong feelings on where it begins and ends and there has been lots of controversy over it. I want to make it clear, I'm not here for a debate. Just ideas. I know some well think my idea leans toward the fad style. Perhaps it does. My rendering would probably also suggest that. I was aiming for the more traditional toasted on the running gear in my mind, but not shown on paper. For those who have not seen my t thread, I will share my rendering here. Please, no debates. Just pictures, and ideas. I know several of the good old customized of the day started making more radical builds in the early to mid sixties and styles changed very quickly then. What became in yesterday was outside today only to be changed tomorrow. Lol. Such great things came out of the sixties. That's why I wish to do this build. Like a tribute to that era. Thanks.

Yes I think I am still a member there. My body style I know would not be accepted there. So I won't push my luck. Did once years ago and it was a long road to recovery there and with Bob. I wish to stay in decent standings there. Thanks

Yes, I do sometimes like the low sleek look. But I may lean towards the kookie style for my build. That purple one looks nice. Yes the black is sick nice. I should clarify that my car and build will lean heavily on the show rod style, but I want a traditional flavor to that...... yes I know some people think the two do not co-exist. While others think they do. I have seen several from the early sixties. So I lean towards the idea that it is possible . Thanks... I'm still open to seeing all styles of traditional (and show) from that time period. They are inspirational. Thanks

Ok. As I prepare myself for both a scale and a full size t bucket build, I am gathering ideas. I already have my main concept down for it. But looking for some more let's say traditional inspiration. I would love to see your late fifties and sixties style t bucket build if you don't mind sharing. This may help me with engine and tranny choices, as well as more importantly tire wheel combos. Thanks

Don't see that one every day. Very cool. Thanks

Lol, I wondered what it was. Nah, I don't go by that screen name any more nor do I own any of the old forums anymore. I would rather keep the new one. Thanks

Hello. My name is Jody. Some may or may not remember me. I stepped away from modeling and hit into creating bicycles and working on my 79 Malibu. Went through a separation and started driving truck. I still drive truck but it's like a jacket..... straight. I am back with the wife and kids. Still working on bikes and my Malibu. Starting to prepare for a model t bucket build. I want to work out some ideas, so to the plastic I turn. So here I am again. Thanks. Jody

Ok, been a while it of modeling. Some may know me. Putting together plans on a 1:1 scale show rod. 60's/70's style. Want to work out a couple of ideas on plastic first. So I am collecting party's to do this build. Have several already and eager to get started. I plan on doing at bucket body modified to slightly resemble a sleigh. Paint it something close to candy Apple red with white pin stripping probably. A bunch of chrome and brass. Herr is a very tough sketch of my idea. Thanks. Jody
