It's right below my name. It's a Facebook page.

I have one that I created in 2017. There are people in this on this from that have 1 or more.There is a duel quad and single quad version. Follow my link below to view it.

The 36 Buick Century is done. The only thing I need to correct is the peek of the top at the center if the windshield. It's too far forward. One of the reasons I had Dan create this for me is that I couldn't create the back of the top. The bodies at this time were created by Fisher Body. This body on the Buick is the same body as the 35 LaSalle. The sceond to last 2 pic's show this. I can finally create what I started in September 2013. The 35 LaSalle coupe.

Timing chain cover, water pump and fuel pump added. It only need the 2 pulleys, a fan, a trans and some touch up and it's done.

I created the generator bracket on the passenger side exhaust manifold and created the exhaust manifold for the driver side. The oil filter was changed and the starter motor scaled.

Some more on the J2. Olds used 2 different air cleaners for this engine. The one pictured is an oil bath unit used in 1957. At some time during that year, they switched to the round cartridge unit. It doesn't say when it happened. I'm going to use this one for this engine as it will be going into 57's. I have the round one file started for the 58. Also note that I have the passenger side exhaust manifold work in process. Olds utilized a single exhaust system on most vehicles. If you notice the large part on the bottom, it was used to connect the crossover pipe to the pipe going to the muffler. When duel exhausts were used, a block off plate closed off the side going to the crossover pipe. I will use duel exhaust, so the plate is there.

I finished the back of the block, created the correct oil filter adapter and ruffly created the oil pan. Note what appears on the side of the oil pan just below the spin on oil filter. Olds created this on the 57-58 371. It holds a quart of oil. The oil pan hold 5 quarts of oil without an oil filter, and 6 quarts with one. There's still some adjustments to be made yet.

I'm back at creating the Olds 57-58 J2 engine. There is some confusion as to what this engine looks like. Olds started with their first v8 engine in 1949. It's a 303 c.i. that was later bored out to 324 c.i. In 1957, the engine was bored and stroked to create the 371 c.i. The list of parts that either changed in appearance or design are as follows: the oil pan, the block, the exhaust manifolds, the bottom of the bell housing, the oil filter bracket, the starter and generator and a Olds factory built tri-power intake manifold. An Olds 303 or 324 with an aftermarket tri power manifold was listed for sale on the internet as a J2, but it was miss labeled. The J2 was painted gold and called the Golden Rocket. Here is the mislabeled green engine, followed by a real J2 engine and block side.. My progress as of yet

I'm 79. My health is good. I expect to be building my creations for many years to come.

Updates on the 36 Buick. The interior comes next. The Nash Healy is in the printer.

Dan hasn't finished the file yet. What is it you, the file or the 3d printed car?

The Studebaker is, the Nash Healy isn't.

I recently picked up a nice file of the 51-52 Nash Healy and started to make it 3d printable. Much to my surprise, It had both an inner and outer wall. They were separated by .016 mm. Normally, I would delete the inner walls and extend the outer's to 1.5 mm thickness. The poly count, i.e. triangle count is very high. That being the case, I decided to just extend the inner walls. Here is the car and my example of extending. I also have some projects in the build stage. Here are the 1937 Delehaye F & F and 1953 Studebaker Champion. I need to touch up the 2 tone paint job on the Delehaye. The 53 Stude was a printable file, but lacked the V8 and Studebaker name emblems on the sides and the Comander script emblem on the trunk. I created and added those. Also, I had to create a back seat. It didn't have one. Look closely between the rear side and back window for the Studemaker name emblem.

Here is what is probably the 3d file. It would take me less than a month to make this model.

I went back to the unfinished water pump housing for the 57 Dodge 325 D-500 dual quad engine and finished it in a few hours. There are still some minor adjustments to get it perfect. I have also included a list of the files I have and what status there in. I know my favorites on the list, but I'd be curious as to other persons choice.
