Oh yeah man. I'm diggin the color and those wheels & tires are Bitchin.

Wowser Phil. What a Great looking Hot Rod. Nicely done man.

That's what I said Rooster when I saw this printable kit was available. Still printing parts out. 29 .stl files in all.
-
You are correct Sir. No print lines at all. I'm printing out the frame, floor pan, and rear axle as we speak.
-
Yes Sir. I like the 35/36/37 Ford body styles. Paint flows so nice over those fat fenders.
-
Thank's Dan. Well...I'm going to have to see if there is any magic left in the ole sick. I have never seen a 35 kit.
-
Haha...you and me both Brotha.

Thank's dude. I believe it took 4 hrs and 50 min.

This is my first 3D printed body and it turned out great. The detail is very nice and clean. This is a complete 3D printed kit and the finished model will look like the pic. Maybe not that color but the wheels & tires and the stance looks killer. I still have a lot of parts to print out but I think the hard part (body) is over. I don't believe I've ever seen a 1935 Ford Coupe kit before, have any of you guys?

Welcome back to the MCM forum Declan.

I appreciate it TJ. I think I have improved over the years but like everybody else I have my days.

Thanks Bill.

I had never shot clear over decals before so this was and experiment and I'm giving it away once I get the clear polished up. Paint is Tamiya Metallic black with Splash Paints 2K clear. It was a "Giveaway" over on my YouTube channel. It's already been spoken for.

I'm a little further along on the engine assembly and now I'm stuck on how to run the plug wires. Run them down between the headers our up over top of the valve covers. I like the looks of them between the headers but I also like the wires exposed more over the valve covers as it give more of a visual effect. -

Thanks Elliot. Yup, I agree. I was wanting to put black plug wire boots on but the header flange is in the way. -

Paint is dry so it was time for a little assembly on the BBC engine. Still a little touch up needed but not to shabby so far. I'm thinking red plug wires. I printed out some distributors as I didn't like the one in the kit. -
All those little touches make for a nice build there Paul. Looking good.
