I should make that. ?

Being worked on now, should be an easy model, but time...

I do not have your body, I assume you shipped to him as I did not scan anything for the first 3 designs, we decided that scans were the way we would do them from here on out. You will need to talk to Scott about your body. I will be the one that will be receiving the reference kits so if you post here and we decide to take the project I will contact whoever has the reference kit.

Sorry but no, it's the fastest way to loosing any exclusivity for my business.

Well I will tell you most of experience here has been good. Also I am not trying to be a jerk or anything, but my business is just a side hustle and Scott does the modeling in his down time as well. I find printing fun and I will own it, I do find the extra income useful in these trying times. Plus making new stuff is fun in itself.

OldMopars and myself are teaming up to produce grills for cars and trucks. I am not saying we will do all requests but here is the procedure. Make a request for something to be made with reference pictures of what is desired. This has to be made for a readily available kit, which will need to be mailed to myself for scanning as we have found this is the most reliable way to ensure great fitment. The body needs to be primered in light grey to ensure scanning is very accurate, I will mail the body back at the expense of the provider unless a grill is purchased from me which if so I will send it back with the purchase free if charge.

I am starting a thread for grill requests, but I will need a kit for scanning from here on out, not all the kit but the parts required for fitment, usually the body. Return shipping will be paid for with a purchase.

I will say the good ones are not cheap. His runs ~$1000 plus tax mine is ~$2200 plus tax

Oh you would have to order from my site ?, I am working on getting this done. It will be a bit though.

I live in a house not a cottage, but all joking aside, I have an accessories off road pack. It hardly sells, common question is to just sell this but or that part. That doesn't make sense for me. To sell a single part is a lot of work for little to no profit. Once fees materials and shipping is done I am lucky to make a buck. Not to sound greedy but to put that work forward to not even buy a cup of Joe is a hard sell for me, pun intended, much less my wife who likes my attention.

Either way would probably work for either, as it will require a small bit of chassis trimming anyways

Well that's actually easier for me and more cost effective. What is everyone else's thoughts on this?

Put an item on it, displays a structured light pattern the rotates object. Repeat a whole bunch of times reorient object repeat a bunch more times. You end up with a 3D model of the object.

So if you want it would be helpful to see where the problem lies

So not really a 327 exclusively but yes I will, not sure when I will get to it though. I am working on some ITB intakes for the SBC right now.

I was going to do the bumpers, and engine cradle, but what are nerf bars?

So after pulling my kit out and yes its the California Wheels version, its going to be a little bit more involved, there will need to be some chassis trimming as the chassis rests on the bottom of the side rockers. but still doable.

Yes, the concept I am trying to achieve is that as many parts from the kit as possible will still be used, everything but the body and bumper. So the glass headlights turn markers interior... Will still be used.

The body will be made for the Revell 85-4192 ’68 Volkswagen Beetle

My name is Charles as well he was talking to me, but I need to know the interest level. But if I do it it's based on this.

I could do this and offer it on my SBC

I have a Revell kit unbuilt I also have a 3D scanner, see where I am going here?

I am sure he's making money but not for the time spent. I would rather spend time with my family than the time it would take to make one of those. If it's all cast then I guess not as much time as machined but still your figuring probably an hour or two work all said and done for maybe 5-10 bucks profit. Sorry but my time is worth more than minimum wage.

Completely clear resin parts is possible but not really feasible for what you are after. People have made telescope optics on resin printers, but a lot of polishing was needed and the clear resin used was not your run of the mill resin.
