To me quality and accuracy go hand in hand. Without accuracy what is quality? I can release a cone with a bell housing some bolts and a couple of features, thats not quality because its not accurate.

Here is the inherent problem, I am not really sold on just selling bits and pieces, but perhaps a full transmission is possible

Right perhaps I will do a Flathead Muncie using my Flathead and Muncie mashed up. I could also use my Toploader from the FE or Windsor

So I can say that is not even close to an accurate statement

Thats a pretty simple design assuming you have the two mating surfaces figured out.

Resin will give you the best results hands down, but there are drawbacks and advantages beyond quality. FDM (filament) printers are very finicky but produce more durable parts. Resin printers are easier to maintain and once dialed in are consistent, but they are inherently more brittle and the material is significantly more expensive, especially the more durable resins. There is also the post processing and chemical dangers. I would not recommend an FDM printer for what you are looking for, but they do have their purposes. For reference I have 36 resin printers and 1 filament printer. I have more 3D scanners than I do filament printers.

something like that

I have no desire to print it again TBH, okay as in its the right shape limited detail and overall more of a Curbside kit

I printed that once as I owned an 86, it's okay at best. There is a guy on FB that will probably do it for you. He might be here as well Andy something with an L

Well I'm not going to make it in 50 pieces I'll make it the way I make most of my stuff but I've been told people will buy things before and they don't so I'm going to hold you to it

Sorry that's just a little too niche for me

No no what I thought you meant if you were talking about me what you weren't but I didn't take it as you thought my quality was bad just the amount of offerings I had none of my body kids none of my grills my accessories Wheels tires distributors all that other stuff is not on eBay so if you only know to go to my eBay site which this has happened more than once people will say I thought you sold a winter front grill for the 32 Ford as an example and I do sell it I just don't sell it on eBay and that's all I thought you meant. And this is a very true statement if you go to my eBay store you're going to see mostly engines there's a couple other things a couple body kits the Ford semi conversions but that's about it. I never really took it as an insult it never bothered me I'm just saying yes on eBay my selection is well it's good probably still have more engines than anybody else on eBay but it's just some items a lot of things don't make a lot of sense to sell on eBay it's too hard to keep track of inventory when you're selling on two different platforms like tires it's really hard for me to inventory and because of how I do wheels and tires very hard to sell on eBay. I will consider doing some truck conversions right now I've been doing Hood conversions I did a tear drop hook for the Fairlane I'm working on a smooth Hood for the 71 mustang there's a couple other hoods I'm going to do or there's a few that I've already done I'm just not posting a lot here on MCM anymore

Oh well it still holds true my offerings on eBay are very limited

I have considered making some year modifications to this truck maybe I will, as far as my eBay offerings not being that great we'll yeah because eBay is not really my main selling platform and only gets a limited selection of my offerings. I am also about to cut it back even more.

Yeah I think that was a bad idea, the flathead that is, the Nailhead is significantly bigger than the Flathead.

Added the 1:10 scale options to both of my Nailheads

It was more of a joke I never thought anybody would actually inquire about it

And this is the inherent problem with answering these questions yes yes indeed that is another engine on the list but again lots and lots of engines to do and these requests could continue on forever one of those things there's hundreds and hundreds of desirable engines out there I know most of them I am a car guy after all with all this takes time and as it stands right now kind of unable to do what I really want to do the reason I moved if anybody really wants to help me out I have a house in Dallas Metro that really needs to be bought

Most of my engines are already available in 1/10 scale

Probably eventually I will do a Cadillac V8 but I'm kind of still stuck with two mortgages so money is a little tight so I can't go out and buy an engine there's also some other engines I know I'm going to do before that one

Well he wont find my files that I can promise you, these are not Cult3D files, but 1:10 scale is something that I do offer, I am not sure why this engine doesn't have that option but there was a time where I was thinking about cutting it out.

Because I have way too many wheels and it can be daunting to find a specific set unless you know the name and use the search function.

I totally did not get this the first time I went back when I posted today now I get it

Blue Oval

not everyone, does that, but to get down to the honest answer its about money. I can say that its very profitable at 1:25/24 easier to make in bulk and cheaper to ship than any other scale out there. The demand is greater and the profit margins are much greater.
