Very nice job saving a great car you don't see much anymore. I have always admired the look of DeSotos. There used to be a junkyard not far from where I grew up that had a few variants. I wish I could've saved at least one, but I was just a kid at the time.

This is definitely a nice idea. I think this is an excellent design.

Best beginner Fusion 360 Project

When you design objects, do you use the 1:1 dimensions then scale them down to whatever scale is needed, or do you use the dimensions for the scale of your choice? -

Hello everybody. I am currently working on building the Lindberg 1938 Ford custom van (delivery) for my college instructor. I am currently studying Machine Tool Technology at my local Community college. My question is what kinds of graphics could I put on the model that would relate to machining?

I recently bought an Iwata ISF Fusion 1000 airbrush compressor from a pawn shop for $15. However, it didn't have a hose for it. Does anybody know what kind of hose I can use? Also, what kind of airbrush? I saw a hose at Harbor Freight, but the connector was too big for the fitting on the compressor.

Hello everybody, I was wondering what would be a good project to start with in Autodesk Fusion 360 to get into the world of designing model car/truck parts. This has always been an interest to me. As a student in a machining program at my local Community college, I was able to download the student/educational version of Fusion 360. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello everybody, I'm wanting to build the Revell/Monogram Dodge Ram VTS into a pro street with a 440 or hemi. I was wondering if there are any good chassis to work with or if I should try to build my own. I've never built a chassis before, so I wouldn't know where to start. However, I do have some styrene strip I can use. I've seen some info on chassis building on the forum, but I'm still a bit confused. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everybody, this is my build of the 1977 Ford Pinto. I'm using the Coca Cola Pinto Popper kit. I'm thinking about building this as a road racing or rally car, but not 100 percent sure. Please feel free to leave comments, criticism, etc.

That's a nice looking Pontiac. Definitely something you don't see every day.

It looks like you have some amazing projects in line.

Very nice looking Hemi.

Scratchbuilding-Where to begin?
olschoolkid replied to olschoolkid's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Right now I'm wondering what size tubing I would need for turbo plumbing. I also would like to know how to build an intercooler and turbo exhaust manifolds. I have a Dodge Ram VTS kit and would like to build a twin turbo 440 for it. I already have the turbos. -
Hello everybody, I am still an amateur in the model building realm. Most of my builds are straight from the box with a little kit bashing occasionally. However I am wanting to become more advanced in my skills, especially for the types of builds I wish to complete. I was wondering what kinds of parts would be the easiest to learn to scratch build and the best types/sizes of styrene for these parts.

Thank you all for your input. I realized I have an engine from a Dodge van in my parts box I can use.
