So, you have seen the test prints. Let's look at the final prints. This resin is what I use for end results as it gives me the quality of detail that I am looking for. Having a printable cad file is not enough. You need knowledge of the 3d printers, what they can produce and knowledge of the resins and what they can produce. This is the bottom view. I keep the wall thickness at or near 1.6 millimeters.

Why are you having a problem printing this?

So, let's take a look at some of the finished product. I enlarged the wheels as suggested and they look much better. The frame has been done long ago. I thought you might like to take a close look at the front end. Notice the coil springs. This is one 3d print.

What it looks like without supports. Fits the frame perfectly.

maybe it was buy 3, get one free.

I'm out of epoxy glue so I went on line last Friday and ordered 3 5 minute sets at $13.05 a pop and free shipping. They came today

This is not the best resin I use. The resin I use for final prints creates much finer detail. Anyone who has received one of my 318 engines can attest to the fact. This resin cost around $100.00 per 1 kg. The resin I use for final prints cost $140.00 per 1 kg. Thus, I do practice prints with less costly resin to create the model into the final product I want.

Just for my information. Are you building this Stock?

From Wikipedia -GM Roto Hydramatic transmission "The Roto Hydramatic was used in all full-sized Oldsmobile models including the Dynamic 88, Super 88, Ninety-Eight and Starfire from 1961-1964 as well as the compact Oldsmobile F-85 from 1961-1963. Pontiac used the Roto Hydramatic from 1961-1964 on its shorter-wheelbase full-sized cars including the Catalina, Ventura and Grand Prix, but continued with the older four-speed Super Hydramatic design in the longer-wheelbase Star Chief and Bonneville models."

Beautifully done Randy. If I ever need a set, I will know where to find them.

I connected the front clip and body files together and printed it out. This gives you a first hand look at how it is done. All of the supports have to be removed to get the final product. This was done on my Phrozen XL printer.

Thanks for the compliment. The 34 had flat windshield. The 35 had a v windshield and was the first year for the all steel turret to. This is the car I used for reference.

The larger prints are printed on my Phrozen Shuffle XL.

Good choice. 3d printing isn't possible without 3d printable files and about the only way to get most of what you want is to create them yourself. Cost really isn't an issue. Blender is free, but there is a learning curve requiring lots of time. Phrozen's new mini sonic printer is less than $300 and will give you high quality prints in half the time and up to 3 times the life of the lcd panel of other printers in its price range. Plus, it's a Phrozen.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

Throw them away.

I printed out 2 test print of the front clip and body to check for errors and fit for both pieces. Everything looks good.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'll check it out and make adjustments. The wheels are listed as 16".

Much appreciated. Richard. {lease feel free to chime in any time.

I have scaled the wheels and tires to size I have for Firestones of the period found. I started this project 2014 and there is a post of such. I'm not a cad designer, so my work is slow and tedious.

When you work from pictures, you have to collect hundreds of examples. Such was the problem with the poster who created a Delehaye f&f 135. The biggest flaw with photos is the tunnel effect. The only part of the picture that is most accurate is the very closest. The rest suffer from the tunnel effect. That's why you need as many pics as you can find to try to get a more accurate example. You may be correct about the windshield though. Thanks Richard, I value your opinion very much.

It's my poly A block 318. It is available in it's latest form for anyone wanting one. The A block was create for the 1956 Plymouth as a cost cutting measure and continued in production through, I believe, 1966. The 55 poly head engines were made in an attempt to serve the same purpose. Your engine is a hemi with poly designed heads. Dodge and and Plymouth used the hemi poly in 55-56. I am under the opinion that it was to provide Plymouth with a v8. The Dodge and Plymouth engines were the same, basically. And if memory serves me, Dodge and Desoto used it in 57 & 58. My avatar is my 3d 270 Dodge hemi.

What are your thoughts, Richard.

The service manuals are available and free.
