[Looking for projects, what do you need 3D files for, or printed?]

How about some Ardun heads for Ford flathead V8s and V8-60s. I have tried to design the myself, but my skills aren't nearly as good as yours.

 

[1/16 Scale 3D-Printed Ardun Flathead...........]

will you be selling the files? I would love a set of these for my big deuce project, but last time I ordered off shapeways I never recieved my order, that's one of the reasons why I bought a printer of my own.

Jackson, there was a very nice metallic blue, flamed South Aussie Model A roadster pickup that ended up in Perth years ago - I think Lance Fussel owned it.  It had an HR Holden front end.  The original builder fabricated quite squared off box structures to clear the wishbones but because the headlight bar was dropped low enough to nearly touch the top of them, you barely noticed it - might be a plan for your front end.

And yeah, my body cracked a windscreen post the other night.  It is a little known fact that the industrial chemists at Revell once offered their plastic formula to the Pringles potato chip people.  Pringles rejected the formula as they said it would make their potato chips too brittle!

Undeterred, Revell used the same formula to make models into the 21st century - only more recent white plastic models were actually buildable!

Cheers

I found one picture of it on the nubreed website, I reckon that will do the trick.

I pulled my body out the other day to get a start on it and it fell apart in my hands, so after two nights of gluing and sanding I finally got a start on the actual build. the first thing I wanted to do was put in the independent front end out of the AMT 34 coupe kit. with a bit of cutting the front end went in without a problem. I was going to use the vette IRS from the same kit but after searching through my wheel box and finding a set of autodrag wheels and fat radial tires, I decided to tub it and go down the pro street path with a twin carb sbc and a 9inch rear.

I didn't mean to personally challenge you, but ratter make some sort of a group build challenge, where a few people build a Tim-Boyd_themed 29APU. I think it would be interesting, because from what I see, even though you are trying to build a billet style rod, your traditional style is taking over. and it will be the same way with me. No matter how traditional I try to build a rod, my high tech style takes over. 

Either way, I'll take on the challenge. 

I'm in for sure?

[Boyd Coddington junkyard dog wheels]

cheers mate, I'll look into that

[Boyd Coddington junkyard dog wheels]

does any one know of anyone that makes a set of Boyd Coddington junkyard dog wheels in 1/25th scale? am after a set for my '39 roadster project, the 1:1 car has 20 x 10s on the back and 18 x 6 on the front. any leads will be appreciated.

Cheers,

[Scratch building wire wheels]

I found this video on YouTube on how to make wire wheels for a motorcycle. if it was scaled down a bit and you replaced those tires with car tires these would look wicked on an old school hot rod or a classic Ferrari.

I found these picture on another site, its a genuine '61 cop car that was recently restored, I couldn't find any of the floor but with a bit more research I'm sure I could find out.

As Greg said there is a few reissues of the monogram kit, the most recent being the yellow revell released in 2011.

looking good mate, I use this clear plastic primer underneath the primer to get it to stick. I think you can get it off eBay.

Would be nice to get some of the Australian market Fords in kit form.

I know the parts box sells a few different aussie muscle cars including a XB falcon and a HK Monaro, but they aren't cheap. link to their store is bellow.

If you still need a frame, I can do you a custom 3D printed one however you want it. good luck on your build, will be following.
