Curt might have info, or at least know who to contact, so I'll get in touch with him and see if he can let you know. Steve A.

There is someone on the Cults3D website that offers the files to print them at 1/24th scale. It can be scaled if you need a different scale. If you have someone that can print them for you, if not let me know if I can help you. Here is a link to the the files: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/chevy-90s-truck-door-mirror Steve A.

Curt recently posted on FB that a new group has taken over running the car show, and they recently changed the date to a week later on the 20th. He posted an updated flyer for the date also. Just wanted to let you know so you don't show up on the wrong day. Steve A.

Revell C8 Corvette Decals
Leo64 replied to Len Woodruff's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I checked a link to pics someone posted from the show I think you were talking about. Is this the Corvette you were talking about? I found a website online that offers stripe kits for the real car, I was going to see about scaling them to the kit and then see about doing them in different colors. Steve A. -
Revell C8 Corvette Decals
Leo64 replied to Len Woodruff's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I tried looking online and found a review of the Revell of Germany version of the kit that shows the decal sheet, and it doesn't show any stripes at all. I also tried looking to see if I could find anyone listing any stripe decals for the kit, but could not find any. It's possible those were either painted on or custom made. Steve A. -
This is coming along really nice. When I saw your post it reminded me that I had one of those old Cox bodies and that someone had sent me a copy of an old article from the Dec 1966 Rod and Custom magazine on building the Cox body with the old AMT Mercedes Gullwing kit. Attached is the first page of that article. I was lucky enough to pick up one of the resin Cheetah kits, along with one of the resin Daytona kits when I got my disability settlement, so one of these days I hope to work on them. Can't wait to see how your build comes out. Steve A.

When you get around to the engine, I know that it can be hard to find the Man-A-Fre intake manifold with Rochester carbs. I found a 3D printed manifold on eBay from 3DScaleparts, but I don't see it listed on their website. You can try contacting them to see if they still offer it. I also found a 3D file for the Rochester carb from the Cults3D website to try and print my own. Steve A.

I don't know of anyone selling just the parts themselves, but there are a couple of 3D files available if you know of someone that can print them for you. First there is a complete kit available to buy from the Gambody website that is in 1/32nd and 1/16th scale and has the option to add lighting to it: https://www.gambody.com/premium/kitt-knight-rider Next, there are some parts to convert a Firebird model to the Kitt car on the Fab365 website. It says these parts are free to download, and also has a link to a Firebird body to also download. You might be able to scale these to 1/16th scale and try to fit them to the kit you have: https://fab365.net/items/242 These are just 2 options I found doing a quick Google search. If you don't have someone that can 3D print the parts for you, there are some online places that will print them for you, or you can post on here to see if someone can help you. Steve A.

3D VW Surf Truck and Mini Bike Files
Leo64 replied to Leo64's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Yes, I've checked Cults3D, Thingiverse, Tinkercad and Cgtrader, and tried several times to do a Google search, but can not find the original file. Tinkercad had one without the mini bike, but it doesn't have the tires and wheels. On Thingiverse someone modified the original and made it into a bank and the tires and wheels are different. Doing a Google search shows the original one on Thingiverse, but when you try to click on it, it says it can't be found. I was hoping someone else might have downloaded the original file and could help me out. Steve A. -
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me find a 3D file I use to have. Several years back I found a 3D file for a cartoon VW Surf Truck and Mini Bike on Thingiverse, but unfortunately I had a problem with my old laptop harddrive and ended up losing a bunch of files. I have tried doing searches online several times, but so far I've only been able to find a modified version that was turned into a bank and didn't have the mini bike. I've attached a pic I was able to find online of the original file. The bottom of the main body said Appleman Design on it. I found another version on Tinkercad and downloaded it, but it doesn't include the tires and wheels or mini bike in it. The bank version I found on Thingiverse has different looking tires and wheels also. I'm hoping I can find a copy of the original files, so I can print it to build. I tried printing it when I first got the files, but had problems with some parts, so I'd like to be able to finish it. Thanks. Steve A.

In case you didn't know, Ron has been slowly moving his parts on to the Cults3D website. You can check what he has added to his page here: https://cults3d.com/en/users/rolsen01/3d-models Ron makes some really nice parts, you just have to be careful because when he first started design parts he made them at 1/8th scale, but then he decided to do them at 1/12th scale, so some of the parts are still at the 1/8th scale. So you may have to scale them differently if you are wanting to print at like 1/25th scale. But again, they are great parts. Steve A.

Greg Wann use to offer a resin cast version of the kit, but I don't know if he still does. Steve A.

Stranger things Blazer

That came out really wicked. Was the grill in the kit or was it modified or 3D printed? -
BMW Throwing Star Wheels
Leo64 replied to DoctorLarry's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I don't know of any particular 3D printer offering those wheels, but there is a guy on Cults3D website offering the files designed for Tamiya kits. I've bought several files from this seller and the parts have been really nice for what I bought: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/bmw-throwing-stars-oem-wheel-17-18-19-inch-1-24-model I know on the Cults3D website, when you buy a file and go to download it, they list a couple of websites that offer printing services.

I'm planning on being there for the show, will be at a table in the swap meet with my friend Curt Raitz. Curt will have his Truwire wire wheels and I'm sure some kits. I'll be there with some of my custom decals, some kits and maybe a few 3D printed things. Looking forward to being there for the show and meeting everyone and seeing some great models as usual. Can't wait to see Danno and the other hosts also. Steve A.
