    I had forgotten that the front blinker, headlight and rear light lenses are castings from the original kit. But all the lenses are molded on, so there were no clear parts. I simply ran clear UV resin from my printer over them and hardened them. Carefully removed and then painted with Tamiya clear paints.

    Hello everyone, The parts are slowly coming together. I think it already looks pretty good.

    Here's the current status today. I glued the headlights into the grille. Then put the rear together and made a trial fit. The rear section and the spoiler are only loosely attached.

    Hello everyone, I have changed the engine again, this one is now completely new and 3D printed. The other engine from the Ford GT was simply too big. This kit is 1:24 and the Hoonitruck is 1:25. The rear window is also included. I have now installed the tank filler neck. And the wheels are also ready.

    Today was the partial wedding. The body with the interior was put on the chassis. The engine was put in. Nothing is glued yet. Let's start with the hood. And now a question: As already mentioned, the 2 struts from the rear frame then go through the rear window to the cage. How can I measure this correctly so that these holes in the windshield are positioned correctly afterwards? They have to be slotted holes, as the struts go through at an angle. I'm looking forward to your solutions, because sometimes you think it's far too complicated, even though it's easy to solve. Here is another picture. The struts are not yet glued to the cage, as the windshield has to go between them first.

    Hello everyone. Today I continued with the little things. First I made the rear parts from the inside with AK True Metal Aluminum. Then I added the lettering to the spoiler. The windows also got decals. The rear window was cut from a new piece of packaging. This is screwed on from the outside and later gets the holes where the rear struts go through to the cage. This was also tried out. The clear piece of the tank filler neck got its clamps. And here I have highlighted the screws. Finally, I made the brakes. The small red part is the fuel filler cap. This also gets a decal. Well, it was just a few little things, but they do hold up.

    I didn't really like the spoiler, so I redid it. This time I used True Metal from AK. A comparison with the first spoiler. I also reworked the tank filler neck, as it has a transparent piece. This was made from a piece of cast iron, which was drilled through and hollowed out with a milling cutter. Small things also made here.

    Next.... Spoiler with BMF Aluminium.

    The sponsors were next. All decals were created and printed by myself.

    Hello everyone I have started to give the truck its "war paint". Something has also been done here. The A-board is ready. Unfortunately not much, but this work keeps me busy. Today was over in no time.

    Let's continue with some color. The engine... ...and the turbos. (completely painted with a brush) The interior tub also got some paint. A few more parts.... .... and of course the little house. That's it for now.

    First of all, a happy new year to everyone. I had some time and attached the various small parts and cables to the frame. I hope you can see what I mean.

    Hello, today I tried something with paint. Then I had to do a trial fit to find the right position for the rear extensions. I think it looks good. Don't you?

    Hello everyone. We've made a little progress. The first widenings are now in place. Then I had something printed again. And put the first color on the model. @streetmachine11 I am considering whether and how I could make these files available. A little more patience. I would also be interested in your body.
  15. MarcelT4
    After a long time, I have something for you again. First the interior. Here are some parts that were created and printed. In the sorting box. The partition wall was also redone, as the original one didn't go all the way down and the side screw connections still had to be fitted. So far from me, now I'm looking forward to your comments
  16. MarcelT4
    Thank you very much. I had no intention of selling these files. It is very hard work to create them and has already taken 2 months. There is no body, no engine and also other parts that can be taken from the kit are not included as 3D files. My models are all supposed to be unique, but I think they will remain so anyway. Maybe I will reconsider and offer them for sale on a platform (cgtrader, 3dexport etc.).

    Small update. Since pretty much everything is visible at the rear, I've started to create various things. I'm not quite sure what these small containers are supposed to be, but it's easy to see. Close-up of the rear radiator. Another tank and of course the tank filler neck with the corresponding cap.

    Hello everyone, I have taken out the interior again. The gearshift and handbrake have been added. The part is quite delicate. Here with the A-board from a different perspective. It will continue soon, but it takes a little longer to create these small parts.
  19. MarcelT4
    Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it. If anyone has any pictures of the underbody, chassis etc., please post them here.
  20. MarcelT4
    Hello, here we go... I have designed and printed the interior tub. Here it is already in the body with a test fit. A look at the rear chassis. Then I finished the dashboard. And part of the engine is also printed. That's it again for now.
  21. MarcelT4
    First of all, many thanks for your help. The engine on cults3d is not bad. But I got a kit from the Ford GT and will take the engine block from that. I had the same idea to take the gearbox from the Mustang. I will attach this to the Ecoboost from the GT. I will print the other parts and adapt them to it as well.
  22. MarcelT4
    Thank you very much. Would you have a link to the engine on Cults3D? There are no 3D files for the gearbox either. I haven't even found any pictures of it.
  23. MarcelT4
    Hello, things are progressing slowly. Some parts have been created and a few printed. I made a few compromises with the frame. Especially in the middle, where the interior will be printed, because I couldn't find any pictures. I'm printing the rear frame again, because it printed a few errors in the connection to the front frame. But things are progressing slowly. I hope you stick with it.
  24. MarcelT4
    Hello everyone, today there is no news, because I first have to create almost all parts on the PC. Then there is the fact that I can't find anything about the engine and the gearbox anywhere. So technical drawings or similar. Also of the chassis, underbody and suspensions there are not really good pictures. Will then probably allow the hood and have to improvise with the underbody.

    Thanks
