I'm right there with you. Deleted my account as well. A complete cloaca of human depravation that I want no part of, even on my most boring day. "Cloaca" Look it up and you will agree. 😆

This should be a top priority. I haven't bought straight up garbage yet, but I got close enough that I definitely pay closer attention. Im getting the impression that 3D printing businesses in this hobby are akin to your favorite fast food chain restaurant on every street corner. Some establishments have their...* ahem *...stuff together, others...well..I would not go within a city block without a tetanus shot and a carton of liquid charcoal to chug... just in case.

Although these are not exactly the same as what you posted, I do believe that these are the wheels in the above photo by @Can-Con...

Nice job so far! Looking good!

Same...

Thanks for the tip @ncbuckeye67

Man... Life forced me to take a break from the hobby for about 8yrs, and now that I can start building again, nearly every supplier I used to buy from has closed... Sad.

Has Machined Aluminum Specialties officially closed?

Outstanding! Love that blue paint!

I'm looking for the same. I've ordered several 3D printed sets, only to get them and realize they are better suited to go on my grandson's Tonka. I need realistic looking 18" and 20" wheel and tire combo's that you would typically see on a street rod/ pro-touring. Your thoughts?

I know you were asking about 1/25, but I shared this in case it could help someone else..

@Ace-Garageguy No offense taken. I sincerely appreciate your time and insight. Thank you.

Regarding the Firing order for a 90 degree block, this what Google handed me.. : The firing order for a Ford 90-degree V12 engine (like the ones used in 1936-1948 Lincoln and Zephyr models) is 1-4-9-8-5-2-11-10-3-6-7-12. This order is consistent for all years within that range. The cylinder closest to the front of the engine is typically considered cylinder #1.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Greatly appreciated!

Well.. Whaddya know..All of my research has led be back to here.. 😄 That says a lot about the MCG Forums. 😎 Anyway... So for context: I've learned that Vertex Mags are often preferred due to their low maintenance, do not require a external power (battery) source to work properly, and fascinatingly (to me anyway) generate a hotter spark the higher the RPM's go. I am in the planning stages of wiring up this (see below) Ford V12 engine from Texas3D, and have a couple of questions regarding Vertex/Ignition Systems that I hope I can get answered. #1. Considering that this is replicating a EFI engine with Vertex Mags, can they realistically be swapped with the dual MSD 'Top Fuel Dragster' type Mags currently in use? Would or could someone do that real world? #2. Is each Mag exclusive to each bank of cylinders, i.e. no crossover on firing order? In other words, when wiring up the plugs, do the plug wires coming from, say the Mag mounted on the driver's side of the block, only connect to those plugs on the same side, correct? #3. Is there any other wiring (other than spark plug) coming from the 'stock' Mags that I need to consider? (I've looked at many photos, and most are very poor in showing these details) @Ace-Garageguy I was hoping maybe you could re-share the photo from 6 posts above? Any input you have to offer will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for commenting!
