    Mike, it's great to see you back on the bench. I'll certainly be watching this one as I too am a fan of the weapons grade, form follows function style of Top Fuel front engine dragsters from this era. I know you will do a fantastic job given your talents!
  2. Ian McLaren
    MeToo!!!

    Got the material for the third attempt at the windshield, first one shattered cutting the injector hole, second one is .015 material and its just not cutting it, so I'm going back to .030 material like I used on the 55 Thunderbird. I'll show the process this time as the 57 Chev whindshield is probably one of the worst case senarios especially for a funny car.

    Next to be finished, two bodies one chassis two classes.

    Thank you so much Daniel for the kind words, coming from you they mean a lot!

    What started out as only a test to see if I could modify a STL file of a stock bodied vehicle to funnycar proportions and sucssefully 3D print it, has now turn out to be a completed representation of one of our local funnycars here in Alberta Canada. Submitted for your approval here is the 1957 Thunderbird Girl Trouble BB/FC. Which during it's build process lived up to its name onseveral occaisions.

    Very close to done, side skirtsand windshield plus cleaning up some wiring and control cables to finish off on the chassis. Even the dice were custom printed for this one.
  11. Ian McLaren
    Getting close, should be done by Monday and the 57 Chev 10 to 14 days

    Thank you Francis, I'm really having fun building the Mageau fleet. Between the Thunderbird BB/FC and the Prospector N/FC Belair and Corvette bodies I have wandered into several new areas of modeling challenges and feel I'm better for it. I do feel I'll be a little less ambitious on the next project. As per usual this one just flat got away on me (my fault).

    Thank you Francis, Yes dealing with USPS has alwys been interesting, but add in this Canada Post nonsence and the costs involved, it is becoming increasingly, just not worth the the effort. It's so much easier to print (or machine / scratch build) your own parts or even produce custom decals in all but the most extreme cases, (Girl Trouble). It's too bad as I would really like to do business with some of the extremely talented people out there but I just can't justify the costs involved (both monitarily and time wise).
