rattle can man

Can anyone recommend a good source for basic 3d printing info for someone not familiar with the technology (from CAD to slicers tom hardware)? If Shapeways doesn't come back in some form, I am tempted to start printing.

I see there is no V-8 option, unlike the kits I have in my stash. Anyone know if this is a different tooling or the same with parts blocked out?

I guess it does not have the 87 turbo parts. I have both '87 and '88 kits, and the turbo parts are the only difference (if I remember correctly). Neither is labeled Shelby.

I know you are looking for spoked mags, but Aoshima makes a 4-lug 5 slot, among other 14" wheels.

pm me your address. I probably won't get them in the post until Monday or Tuesday.

I found the decals. I have the bottom version. are you looking for the whole sheet? I could use the wood grain for the bed, Farmer's market, and the instrument panel decals.

I take it is based on a '34 sedan.

I would be tempted by any of these. But my preference is early ('60-'63) Falcon or Comet. I know a 4dr is a pipe dream, but stock or at least Ford powered (unlike the Ranchero, which I believe is a BBC).

Maybe a good sign: bidding ended 2 hours early with an offer of $3.5 M for just the track property

actually, I have both grilles.

I definitely have the grille. Not sure where those decals went. they aren't with the kit.

i've pm'd you

but a spoon test would only be valid for the here and now. What happens to the clear in a week, month, etc? In my experience, clears don't necessarily go on yellow, but over time turn yellow. For sure Testors gloss enamel yellows over time.

I'd be in on them.

Yes. I have '67 annual (I believe that was the year anyway) that had the Station wagon top. A custom Vette is on my build list, but way down the list.

And all I saw was a heard of goats and a few hawks.

As a note, I tried matching it up to an AMT '67 Vette. It fit over the stock rear body work. I will have to figure out how to deal with the blending the thickness of the plastic in. without losing body details. creating new grills shouldn't be too hard. But before commencing a build, I need to figure out a custom front end.

Nice work! Makes me want to break my kit out and figure out a new front end.

that is parts 79 and 80

without the kit in front of me and not being too familiar with the actual car, my educated guess is controls for the side vents or perhaps hood and brake releases.

Thank you! Now I might see if I can use it with the custom wagon roof from the '67 AMT kit. It might be an interesting combo.

I'm not familiar with Palmer kits. Most of my stash is kits from the mid-70's and up.

I'm not sure if it is a front or rear panel. no markings. I don't have any parts associated with it.

I was digging in the stash for some parts and came across this. First I thought Tiger shark, then Dream Rod, but it is neither. Any ideas? it was part of a junkyard auction lot.

I have the pick-up. But I have the anti-Chevy and the weird engine (in line 6, AMC, Studebaker, etc.) genes.
