Thanks David, yes and when reviewing the pictures i see that I can touch it up on the Right hand side Thanks! That truck is realy cool saw it in your other thread. And gongrats on the trophy!

Nice work! Cool to see a re elk kit that seem to fit together.

I did make the engine ready to be displayed on the side until the rest is done so here it is:

Here is a thread on my 1/16 truck.

As stichdup there is plenty, and any one with a printer can help out i guess since its just to scale the 1/24 item to 1/16. I have done so for my Revell 1/16 Bajja fever pickup soon everything is printed for it I have a beautifull LS with carb for it with a T56 manual. Were are you located? In US, Iceman can hook you up or texas customs or what they are named. In UK there must be several, in EU you have Ghostman here on the forum that print and sell, I have also sold some parts but i dont have the capacity.

I am trying to thicken a mercedes 300 aka Red Pig in blender. I have seen several So I have been trying to look at various ways to fix it but I have no success. I have tried using solidify but that command gives me 0 control in what direction I ad the material so it extends the material outwards as well as inwards. Which makes it useless. I have managed to open the file in Fusion and make it to a model but most parts are just one surface and not solid and when extending them my computer, even though it is a cad PC, Boggs down and won’t execute for hours. How do you guys do the thickening? I saw your post Mr obsessive and get the principe but it seems in efficient on a roof or such.

I got an other stupid ide.. a Diesel engine would have better MPG than the Hemi.. But who had diesels in 1975? Mercedes did.. whtat cool mercedes was availible.. Well the 300SEL is a nice car and can look cool as hell.. And AMG was not official Mercedes back then so its plausible that they threw a 5cyl diesel engine with turbo and an intercooler would also be an option. They where available and some trucks seems to have hade them even thogh Mercedes launced their first Turbo Intercooler in 1978, but testing must have started years before am I right. Especialy with Porsche launching their Turbo Intercooler car for the street in 1977. And porsche seems to have had Turbo and intercooler on the 911 RSR, correct me if i am wrong, in 1974. So.. a Mercedes 300SL 3.0L Diesel Turbo intercooler concept by AMG.. whats your thoughts on that Talk about an epic long distance car for the CBR in 1975!

Looking great with some paint on it! It’s really coming alive!

I have gotten the Cuda in a dark gray base coat so I can spray some blue on that. I’m idea is to paint it dark blue like the Gurney Cudas from ’70. The engine is also taking shape. If I forgot to mention but the engine is a revell piece from some much newer kit than the Cuda.

These are available on Tradera.com to buy. Files are probably available to buy some where. Its a forum member that sells them. And the tires in the last pic is my design 😉

I wrote to them and a very nice guy replied, so in a while I will post some pictures of them installed!

Was searching other stuff but found these.. might be some thing for you. Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole - 3D-Printed & Coloured Interior (for Aoshima kits) Quinta Studio -QD24012

Beautifull builds!

As i Wrote in the Wip. Awesome results! Came out beautifully! And you made such a nice work on making it look Right!

Such an incredible build! I would never have made it past the first, " O, the body is not as it should" phase! Great work!! End result is stunning!

My point exactly. You can swap, "print" or make any part from any make or brand of stuff availible in 1975 and use it on your build. And if you want a IRS those swaps are also possible, both the Cobra and the Vette has IRS so just take a C3 suspension for example and you are golden!

I mean this looks promessing, this beeing 1:32.

No I haven’t, looks good but would also like to know how they really look when applied.

We are racing in 1975. It’s entirely up to you what color the car is but I would say that try to apply the 1975 availability rule. I will not say that any one will not be eligible to compete due to using moderns brakes per say and in the end I would hope that in the vote by the end of the year am voters will be taking in to account that this should be a race in 1975 and whom have captured that the best. I would say, try to think was this available in 1975.

Nice build! What was the overall difference to the Chevelle/malibu? A Canada car or?

Paint is progressing, hand painted the bow tie after several failed attempts with decals. I am trying to decide if I should put the impala emblem on the d pillar, it’s a home made decal.

Sweet! Will be following! And good start!
