The body needed a thin strip of styrene on each side where the c-pillars were cut away. In addition, the holes for attaching the wing and for attaching details on the inner fenders were filled.

Cool idea. The nitrous bottle would be pretty easy, the figures not so much. I wonder if the files are available somewhere.

I've been working on the belts and pulleys. The 1:1 car is a small block with power steering but no AC. The AMT kit has AC but no power steering. I made up a belt and pulley setup that puts the alternator and power steering pump in semi-correct locations. 3d printing allows you to make very realistic belts, much smaller than can be done with injection molding. Also the 1:1 car has an electric fan, so I eliminated the mounting hole for the fan. The AMT belt set is on the left, my 3d printed set is on the right.

Looking great!

Very nice!

Completed grille. I just need to add the headlights.

The right angle boots are set up for 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise. Works for most engines, but of course there are some that it won't work on.

I actually hadn't thought about selling the files. I probably should. I have made a 6 cylinder distributor but with no boots, shown in the photo below. I made it a while ago and it could probably use an update.

Yes they are. All you have to do is glue the wire into the hole.

Took it to the next level... Why not make right angle boots for it as well? The layer lines from 3d printing are not visible with the naked eye although the camera picks them up.

Update: the 1960 Corvette is traded.

Update: Fast and Furious Charger and Dale Jr. Monte Carlo have been traded.

All 3 are still available.

Update: the 64 Impala and the Cyclone are traded. Stuff I am interested in: Ramp truck 71 Demon Chevelle any year car transporter 70's to late 80's Cutlass Gremlin, Pacer 67-68 Mustang coupe 72-80 Dodge Pickup 50's - 80's pickups station wagons

The Cyclone and the 64 Impala are traded.

Looking to trade the kits below to make some space. All kits are complete except for the following: 1) Little Red Wagon is missing the chrome wheels and slicks, but I will include a nice set of 3d printed slicks with Cragars. 2) 32 Ford is missing the wheels and the Hot Wheels car 3) Revell Jag XKE is the 1989 issue, missing box and instructions. I am interested in any Moebius kits, 66 Chevelle wagon, MPC Chevy Cavalier but would be open to other trades.

Yes, I saw that. And they're reasonably priced too. Just thought I would challenge myself to make one.

One of the first things to address is the grille. The AMT kit uses the "shark tooth" grille, which was only used on the 1971 and 1972 Duster when equipped with the 340. All other 70-72 models had the base grille. Here is the 340 grille that comes in the kit. I carefully removed the center section which will be replaced with a 3d printed grille. Here's the 3d drawing in the final stages of editing. I should have a good print soon.

A project that I have wanted to do for a while is the shorty Duster featured in a few YouTube episodes by Cleetus McFarland. Here are pictures of the 1:1 car and the current state of my model. I'll continue to post as the build progresses.

I have a Revell body. Includes bumpers, hood and photoetched grille.

Wow, that looks great.

This is about the third iteration of my 3d printed distributor cap. After much frustration trying to make plug wire boots, I came up with the idea to make the boots part of the cap. Then they just need to be painted black before gluing the wires in.

Nice job! It's a Vette gasser for the 21st century in the tradition of the old ones.

I do have a kit of sorts. It includes the body, hood, resin engine and all of the 3d printed parts I used in the build. I didn't get the mold quite right, so the body needs some mild sanding and putty on the rockers as you can see in the photo. You would have to source some carbs, a seat and a '41 Plymouth, as well as making your own glass from clear acetate, Here's a photo of the parts I can provide. PM me if you are interested.

Her car was a slant 6 auto with poverty caps BTW.. I bet there weren't too many slant 6 Chargers.
