Just put the finishing touches on these rims and tires yesterday. They’ll be going on the Revell ‘69 Mustang I started over twenty years ago. Messed up the decals back then and it got shelved. Now I’m glad it did. The whole project changed direction. These rims, tires, and brakes are all 3D printed. I got the file on Cults from ZForce model works. His files are just awesome.👍

Great save! Those both look amazing!👍

That looks great! Was it a lot of work to change the roof line?

Here are a couple more custom jobs I finished this summer. Both were pretty rough when I started.

Could be. It’s getting closer to that time of year. Seems like they show up in the fall.

Wow! That’s killer!

Thanks! It’s a mix of blue and green Scale Finishes candies over a silver base. I want to try it out on a model project sometime.

I needed another hobby about as much as I need a hole in the head. And yet here we are. I’ve gotten into collecting/restoring/customizing Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. This is my first completed project. Started life as an Ertl General Lee that the previous owner must have really loved, judging by the condition. A little paint and decals, some different wheels, and she’s ready to roll again! If you’re into Hot Wheels, let’s see ‘em!

Got the upholstery finished!

They come in waves. Right now seems like the low point. They’ll probably be back closer to the end of the year.

Thank you Carl! Yeah, I’ve been at the bench less since spring. I want to do more, but there’s just always something going on lately. But I’m pretty determined to finish this one on time. If I can pull it off, it’ll be my first complete group build.👍

Haven’t done any update for this build for quite a while. I got sidetracked and also wasn’t sure how I wanted to tackle a few things. I recently finished the dashboard, and just today I painted the wheels. Hopefully this will get me back on track.👍

Wheels are printed! I like these much better. I’m thinking flat or dark aluminum faces with polished aluminum rims and knock offs. Thanks to Topher for pointing me in the right direction.👍

That looks like a Mean Machine Models file. I have that one, and I’ll print a set when I get a chance. I think we might have a winner!👍

Where did you find bonneville rims with knock offs? That’s what I’d really like to put on the ‘32.😎
