    May I ask what printer and materials you're using? Is there a cure time?

    I'm using PLA. The cure time is almost immediate. The resolution isn't as nice as the resin printers but it's good enough for my needs -for now

    Besides the hood scoops, I've been tinkering around with some other things. I found a drawing with dimensions for a 32 Ford frame and drew it up and printed it to scale. Then started in in some bomber type seats with seperate cushions. Next I came up with some air filters of different thicknesses and the topper which happened to print out at half a millimeter. Lastly some disc brakes and calipers. I'm having a ball!

  3. As mentioned earlier, this was a bunch of parts in a bag. At the time it looked mostly there but after getting her home, I found I was gonna need some things

    One of the things is the vents that sit in the hood cavities. Well, thanks to my new toy, I was able to squirt out a couple.

    after a bit of trimming, I was able to get them in place.

    Hahaha, sorry man, not enough hours in the day for all my interests.

  5. I picked this up a few years ago at a show. It was a bag of parts. After looking closely, I found I am missing a few parts. I started on 9 Dec 23.

    the hope was to get this stance. The wheels and tires are 3D printed from Ebay.

    after fiddling with the suspension I think I got it pretty close to the desired look.

    I sprayed the rims and tires with my black airbrush mix then hand painted the silver accents with alclad and the emblems with red acrylic.

    next came the interior by liberating the door cards, spraying everything black and applying flocking to the carpet area.

    last but certainly not least, I assembled the engine and applied plug wires.

    Things have been slow going because my wife gifted me a 3D printer for Christmas. Ever since, I've been testing my limits with it and learning what i can and cannot do. Cant say when I'll get back on this one.
