Thanks Dennis, I designed and 3d printed the entire drive train except the fan belt assembly and the intake manifold and carb. I don't see any issues with yours and in fact this build was an inspiration to do mine! Excellent craftsmanship!

Hey Ken, sorry but I am not set up to sell anything at this time. My printers are all in storage at the moment. I've been promising folks a comeback but haven't been able to get things sorted out...still hopeful for an eventual return but I'm sure folks have all but given up on me...don't blame them, its been a few years now. I did sell quite a few grills and header panels that might be available from someone in this forum. Sorry man, Bill

Sorry for the crappy pictures. These are not in any particular order. Hope you like them!

Excellent work! I think I have that magazine article...always like to see old rusty work horses!

Would never had known that was brush painted...nicely done! The colors and details make it look "right". Well done!

Nice work Al! Love the wheels with the whitewalls!

Nice work! Very clean build! Love the mods!

Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!

Thank you all VERY MUCH!

Excellent work on this! The upgrades make it come to life! Details like correcting the thermostat housing location on the FE engine makes a huge difference in my opinion!

Nice work Chuck, patina is spot on for a clear coated patina job found on rat rods nowadays! Well done!

Thank you very much fella's, much appreciated!

That is a sharp Mustang! As others have said, the color combo is outstanding!

Very nice clean build! Excellent trim work, stance, and detailing!

Thank you all very much for your generous comments!

Thank you Bob!

Hello everyone! I have been busy getting some builds completed that were started months and months ago. This is my second "dent side" build. I have a few more ideas in my head for more, and every time I tackle this kit I learn more techniques on how to handle the challenges with this kit. I posted a WIP on this one as I wanted to share my mods for a better build on this kit. For this one I used the Moebius snow plow truck suspension, tires, and wheels. The engine is a combo of the Firestone and Moebius kits with a 3d printed distributor and some fabricated pieces. Other 3d printed parts consist of the tailgate, cab lights, added fuel door, fender and bed scripts, battery, starter solenoid, ignition box, grill assembly, rear bumper, tool box, mirrors, washer reservoir, shifters, pedals, transfer case, some driveline parts, and door panels. I modified the dash to fit more realistically (see WIP). I used the trailer hitch from the 64 Galaxie (I believe) and shaved it down to look better. The bed is one of my own castings I did a long time ago. This truck was a glue bomb "Bigfoot" kit built back in the 80's and required a lot of work to get it looking how it is. I hope you like it and comments are welcome, thanks for checking it out!

Thank you Mario! Thank you Craig!

Thank you Tom! I can always count on you to notice those small details! I went with a Chevy hood instead of a correct GMC hood as I figured a resto mod would use an aftermarket hood and GMC's aren't as available as the Chevy's or even OEM sheet metal, Chevys are far more plentiful than GMC.

Thank you Brian! Thank you Jim! Thank you Al, I don't sell them currently....someday maybe Thank you Carl! Thank you Doyle!

Thank you Larry! Thank you Joe, the plates are made with an online plate maker then printed on card stock. This conversion is not what is sold online, I made these parts myself and I used to sell them but had to shut down the business for personal reasons. There might be some of my parts out there yet. They would be referred to as "Rookie Resin" parts. Thank you Chris! Thanks Chuck, I will consider that...I would have to create scale flaking clear coat but it is possible!, Here is my 1-1 GMC.

Thank you David! The wheels are Chevy rally wheels from I believe the late 70's through mid 80's. The hood vents are what the 69 Camaro's had on some models.

Thank you Ryan! Thank you Bill! Thank you Harry! Thank you Jeff! Thank you Al!

Great job Jim! Excellent paint work with the multi layers, looks realistic! Love the modifications!

Nice work Tom! Once again you captured the realistic stock look! Well done!
