  1. Looking epic! Great work from start to finnish!
  2. The exhaust is getting hangers. 3d printed and installed in what seems to be good spots I also made a new tailpipe, single ”3 thet goes to 2x3,5”. Gonna look good I believe. only had clear ressin to print with.
  3. Sorry to hear about your loss, I hope all your memories with him warms your heart and keep him with you in the future.
  4. Could not agree more! i showed your thread @Codi to my other half, and her reaction was just that, how can he make it look so clean and real on such a small part! Great work as always.
  5. Thanks David, appriciate that you take your time to comment, means allot! Thank you sir! Thanks Steve! For sure it would! Would mean to scrach one I guess. Hehe for sure would rise a question or two, but perfect for Dragweek!
  6. Looking great! Love your tennis balls! Super cool detail!
  7. Looks great! Nice cad work and finishing of the parts with painting and all! Will be following!have my own 1/16 builds.
  8. Nice build! Wheels looks beautiful!
  9. Nice! have anyone tried this on resin from their own printer or parts from some of the other vendors? The typical gray resin used i mean.
  10. Sweet build! Looking great so far. Interior looks sharp and just as I remember those red interiors These kits seem to have nice detail. Now I need to get hold of a 6.2l diesel engine and then I can make a replica of my dads old K5.
  11. Looking good there! And you do have a couple of cool builds in the making! I hope the new meds work for you!
  12. I decided to af some nuts and bolts to the chassis In visible spots. I made these and printed them in various sizes. i did also make a new cross bar for the swaybar, the arms connecting to the a arms are stock, when the bar was there I used insulation from a cable to make a rubber busshing and a strip of metal as brackets and finished it of with studs and nuts. I did also make some work with the exhaust. Swedish law dictates that the exhaust are not allowed to exit underneath a space where you have occupants. Which leaves me with side exits on the exhaust, but that’s not really legal either. So I routed it all the way back. And due to clearance issues I ran 3mm pipes which led me to put electric cutouts to let all the exhaust pressure out on full boost. Actually read about a similar 1:1 build that did just that. I put magnets under the mufflers to secure it wile fabricating, but will do some visual hangers as well. I will tuck the exhaust so it won’t be to visible behind the bumper to retain that discrete look.
  13. Looking epic! Seats are a nice model in it self!
  14. Great minds think alike 😁could never have guessed you had a damage underneath that plaque! i suddenly remembered that I had forgotten to install the go fast pedal and the slow pedal… so I lifted the boddy and had a pita to install the hanging pedals behind the dash. I kept the brake fluid canisters and linkage and the individual brake cylinders and even the brake scale from my 3d print.. even though it will never, ever be seen again! A mishap also knocked the battery out of place so I got an opportunity to improve on the ground wire which is now secured with a stud and nut. Also made a fire extinguisher system, not done but it start to looks crowded as I want it to!
  15. Lights are looking great! as does the rest of the build! That steering as Will mentioned looks epic, and super hard!
  16. Welcome to the board! Hope you find inspration here!
  17. Welcome to the board! hope you find inspiration and looking forward to se what you work on!
  18. Made some progress, not really on the impala but I managed to put couple of coats of putty on the Mb that got its paint stripped. the Impala got some attitude added in the boot and I covered a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAHup with a suiting sticker. Tire Slayer.. I also added a California plate.. not that it should’t have anything else than a Swedish plate. I did also replace the dash decal with a bigger one, same text. 🙂 and don’t worry I have not glued the body to the interior yet due to I am not sure I am done with body of works yet. o and I did mend the broken chrome work.
  19. I have totally missed the finishing of this one! Came out great, as always!
  20. That truck came out absolutely beautiful! The white paint job looks super, I am dreading white since it’s to easy to make it look like plastic. Al details are just spot on as usual!
