Sweet Porsche. Love the interior

I run a #11 exacto blade down the seams. About 4-5 passes does the trick.

Got a little therapy in last night I blew apart the interior so I could better detail the door cards and started working on the powerplant. The headers are made from solder and the collectors are aluminum tubing It's a snug fit but its happy

Cool stuff. I too would like to get into 3d printing. I've been doing cadd work for nearly 30 years. I'm very familiar with sketchup too. I have blender but it looks like it's a steep learning curve.

Fantastic builds!

Excellent build. Great color

Super cool. I like the story

Looking good David

Wasting no time, I jump right in and get after the ride height. I always go for the 2 popsicle stick method. At this thickness, I always get the look I'm after. for the back, this was pretty easy. I measure to the center of the hub and mark it on the chassis sitting on the sticks. Same thing on the other side. I cut the chassis to accommodate a mini straw. It's the perfect diameter to slide an old AMT axle thru. Then glue it in place. In this case, the straw is hidden by the factory axle and pipe assembly. Next up is the front. I look to see where the hub will sit vertically on the chassis. I cut 2 pieces from the parts tree that make a "T". I cut 4 pieces of scrap plastic to act as the upper and lower control arms. Then drill out the spindles and control arms to accommodate a stick pin. I used a .65mm bit. Then assemble. If you cut your spindles to be identical, your finished product will sit flat. I know this is not up to everyone's standards, but it works for me and I'm happy with the result.

Nice build. Where did you get the bomber seats?

These are Pegasus wheels and tires

Looking good David

Inspired by a drawing I saw on the web

Great color. Love the Keystones

Inspired by @Koellefornia Kid. I'm going for a little different take though. This came from Ebay. It had no engine and was missing one bucket seat. My plan, flat white, red interior and no graphics. I was able to resin cast a bucket seat so I got the interior covered. I got the engine situation covered too. I'll be using a 429 HEMI from the boneyard. Typical build will include Pegasus wheels and tires, articulated front wheels, disc brakes and red calipers, plumbed and wired engine and whatever else I come up with.

WOW This ^ is hard to follow, but here goes Inspired by Dave Kindig and @Koellefornia Kid...

Cant wait to see yours!

Great idea! Why dont you build the black one and send it to me! ? Actually I do have another kit. The black looks great as a convertible. I might have to do that. It's funny, we have similar tastes. I was looking at the Galaxy you just posted. I was going for the same idea.

Is done Thanks for playing along!

This is the AMT release of the 1969 Chevrolet Corvair. I picked this up from Ebay. When it arrived, there were 2 almost complete kits in the box. One of the engines was started but that's about it. This was pretty straight forward. I knew what color I wanted as it was inspired by something I saw on the web. The paint is Duplicolor Chevrolet red and the clear is Minwax Poly. BMF and a Molotow knock off pen was used for the shiny bits. I added black flocking for the carpet and package tray. I added flat washers and sheet styrene for the disc brakes and calipers. I also added button snaps for the pulleys and scratch built a distributor and plug wires. Battery cables are 28 gauge wire with crimped ends I found at the craft store. Front wheels articulate courtesy of an old parts tree and some push pins. This one was a bit of a challenge and I am happy with the results. Thanks for looking.

Did some shopping over the weekend. Found some hook-up wire at HL And some crimps that looked like wire ends for battery cables at Michaels

Sharp looking motor

Super cool Studebaker

Sweet 959. Looks nice in red

So cool. Nice job
