    Nice work, the things you do with 3d printing is amazing!
  2. BTW the carbs were 4 double barrels on the real car, you have 4, 4 barrel carbs.
  3. A steady hand and a sharp exacto you can get a good result with foil. Just make sure to burnish it so it sticks and doesn't move around on you. (Door handels, gas cap, and trim was done with BMF)
  4. I built the current round 2 re-issued version of the mpc. I would not count on parts swaping easily, the mpc kit is designed rather interestingly. It probably could be done and I'm not doubting your skills.
  5. A neighbor set of a m80 in a watermelon 8 ft away from 15 little kids. They all got splattered and chunks flew for 20 yards. It's a miracle nobody got hurt. I left just before he started setting off the BIG STUFF, don't want to be involved with stuff goes south.
  6. Wow, nice suspension! That rad might be from the og release of the revell 67 chevelle pro street, it was molded in that color.
  7. Thank you, that's basically what the whole cars feel was built upon.
  8. That's why I said the cobra, I see it more of a sports car, especially the 289 version.
  9. Got to be the shelby daytona and cobra. Would love to build a factory five replica of either one some day. Also, if I had a boat tone of money (ecen thoigh its more of a super car) I would go for a ferrari f40, specifically the LM. A regular f40 would also do it, wheels are a lot cooler on it.
  10. Got some small medicine cups for mixing paints.
  11. Next update! I got quite a few things done this week. Sence this car is a mild custom I had to shave all the emblems, the Belair emblems on the side, the chevy emblems on the hood and trunk, and the top of the hood are now all flat. After shaving everything, I primered the car, sanded again, then put the final layer of primer on. I also got the engine completed, I went with the fuel injection and had to shortened the stacks to fit under the hood. Also got the battery wired up. The firewall had a nasty gap on it so I had to fill that in with 3m spot putty, probably needs another round of filling and sanding. The chassis is also in primer, couple stars from the molded in exhaust but you can barely tell. Also had to add a transmission brace because there oddly wasnt one. Lastly, I put some testors flat steel on the wheels to replicate the magnesium wheels. Thanks for looking! Elliot
  12. Fronts are kit tires and rears are amt parts pack M&H Racemasters.
  13. Thanks, I usually go to the heartland nationals every year, couldn't go this year because I moved across town.
  14. I just started this car this week after playing around with wheels and tires. The wheels are from revells 64 Thunderbolt and I think they look really tough on this car with the white wall pie crust slicks. Im also going to go with a gold paint job with white accents. Oh and its got to have a tuck n roll interior. My inspiration was this car that I saw at the 2024 goodguys heartland nationals, I really like the attitude and stance of this car. Here's the moch-up of the car, had to hog out the rear slicks to fit the wheels, quick work with a dremmel. This kit also has a molded in exhaust, I forgot to take a before picture. Here's the finished result. Thanks for looking Elliot
  15. Yeah I thought that would happen. I really like the way our fellow member SpeedShift did his interior on his 58 chevy.
  16. Yeah I've seen the foam stuff but to me it leaves a little to be desired. That's why I am looking to the half round styrene.
  17. Would have been cheaper to make a "No parking any time"
  18. I was wondering what was the best way to do tuck and roll. I've heard evergreen half round works well but what size do I need for the smaller pleats they would use on seats? 1 mm, 2mm, I have no clue? Any advice you may have would be helpful and appreciated. Here's the car im going to do it on. Thanks Elliot
  19. Here's mine, going for a mild 60s custom. Gonna be gold with white accents. And of course its gonna have a tuck and roll interior. The wheels are from the revell 64 Thunderbolt and the rear tires are amt parts pack m&h racemasters. It was inspired by this car I saw at a goodguys show.
  20. Got a new bike yesterday, a cannondale quick cx 3. This is the first bike ive ever had that had hydraulic brakes, I had no idea they made those for bikes. Rides pretty nice, I wanted something I could ride on road and off, and this does just that perfectly.
  21. Those bubbles are just rust bubbles right? If so nice job replicating that . Anyway, nice job!
  22. Looking good, curious to see how the tires come out.
