The body, rolling chassis with engine and other parts a above this post. Everything except the grill, outside handles and the emergency brake have been printed.

I want to show you what can be accomplished with the right desk top $370 3d printer today. The following are parts to my 35 La Salle. They are only shown as examples of my project. I will do the necessary finishing touches to make them what I want later. The needed changes are merely cosmetic. First off is the dash. Next, a hubcap on the fender skirt. This is recessed lettering and chromed with DecoColor chrome felt tip. The lettering is red acrylic paint. This idea was taken from a real car. This is the interior door hardware. These were created from pic's of the originals. The window crank, wing vent and door handle. And lastly. The banjo steering wheel. It's currently not possible to do with current printers, but this should get the job done for now.

It's been awhile. I haven't been idol. I've been working on upgrading one of my printers to 4k. It's not real simple and takes awhile to do this. Mean while , I told myself in in 2019 that I was going to finish the 1934 La Salle convertible coupe. I made the same goal in 2020. Neither one happened. In 2021, I made the same goal and now am determined it to happen in the first quarter of 2022. Here is where I am as of this date. January 2, 2022. If you can imagine. Realize that this is the boot with the spark plug in it in the bottom of it that I used in the wiring. The thickness of the upper wall is less than 1 mm. Above that is the interior window crank. The vent window crank is even smaller.

You don't need to air brush the filler primer. It's not high build to begin with. High build would give you too much thickness and screw up your detail. The front vents will be a real problem. You can file down most that are high, but the others may need ones scratch built to replace them. As a note to you, or anyone reading this thread. If the product is not printed on an resin based printer, forget it. By resin based I mean sla : laser printer or msla: led resin printer. At any rate, the project is do able. I'm sure you'r up to the task.

Get some Duplicolor scratch filler primer. Spray a light to medium coat so as to save as much detail as possible. Spray a lighter color as a guide coat and then sand with 600 wet sandpaper. You do a guide coat by spraying far enough away from the model so that you only get specks and not a full coat. Continue until you have an even surface.

Ghostery - it"s free and also blocks trackers

Same here. I have the trigger action and they are fantastic.

I can print everything in high detail except the antenna. I'll use the usual way for that.

I have a w.i.p. of the 53 Eldorado at the bottom of pg 3 and top of pg 4. It's on my w.i.p. "my 3d printed projects" post currently on page 3 of w.i.p. Here's screen shots of the file.

I've been been busy on other projects, but I've made some progress on the 53 Caddy 331 engine.

That happens to be a 3d cad file that you can buy for $8.80. It's located here: https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/erMX6/1987-porsche-959-3d-model. If you have someone make them for you, have them make both sides. That way you'll be assured of having a matching set.

Is this is what your looking for?

1958 Fury engine was an A block 318 Poly head with dual wcfb carbs. A 350 B block was optional. The 59 Fury came stock with a 318 and an optional 361. I used one of my 318's with one of Joseph's afb carbs in my 59 Fury. This engine was never made in model kit form. Members on this forum own 19 of these engines as I make them available to those who contact me. The B block engine is the early version of the 383 with a lower deck where the heads go. The Torqueflite transmission is the early cast iron version and not the 727 aluminum one. The B block Golden Commando engine also came with dual quads, so you would need a duel quad manifold. Here are examples of my 318. They are instructions on assembling it properly and will give you an example of a 318 engine for those years. They engines were painted silver.

So, it't been a while since my last post. I have been busy, though it takes a while for me to do file corrections. Especially the 55 Dodge. It's almost done but I burned out on it and have switched to another project. I have a file for the best, most interior detailed version of a 1953 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. The file is free as long as I give credit to it's creator. This I will do. I hope to finish this, along with the 35 LaSalle convertible coupe and Delehaye F&F 1937 roadster, by some time in January of 2022. One of the parts I need for the Eldorado is an engine. What exists is completely deplorable. Here are some pic's of the file and test print. A test print. the frame is 85% complete. The engine is in early process.

For my generation 1945. plus. I'm working hard and am determined to provide you with some models of cars from our youth. For a abominable fee. 3d printing is here.Just wish me a longevity of life to make it come true.

Kurt, It just needs to be scaled, i.e made to scale. Sign up for the month subscription and download it Then contact me If what is needed ti to do If your friend has a small printer, I might print it for you

Thanks for the back up

So let's take a serious look at this new freedom license Hum3d uses. So. I purchase a 55 Dodge 4d from them. The file is 90% wrong. I make corrections and convert it to a 55 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer convertible. It's seriously screwed up. 85-90% is wrong. So I take my time' etc to fix it to be right, as mush as I can ascertain. Hum 3d, under their current licence, my improvement belongs to them. If I make any file of there's 3d printable, It belongs to them. Sorry Hum 3d, ain't happening. If I can get it free, I'm way ahead.

Hum3d makes $95, not the artist. Read the last paragraph of the licence. Violation of any of these conditions will be prosecuted. You don't know if any kind of deal was made between these persons and Hum3d. You just assume they are "pirated." You have enough to worry about what's going on in your country. Maybe you should be more concerned with that than jumping to unsubstantiated conclusions. Guilty until proven innocent doesn't work here.

There completely legal. The license states that resale of the file is prohibited. What you purchase is a download site to get them. There is $0 for the actual file.

I'M posting this a guide for those looking for 3d files. Understand the difference between 3d files and 3d printable files. 3d files lack depth needed to be printable. A depth of 1.7 mm is needed to make the part printable. Without a knowledge of how to make these files printable, your dead in the water. With that in mind, I will give a web site that I have found that will give you a source of what's available at a minimum of cost. Check it out. There's something for everyone. Sports cares, seventies, eighties, even ninnies and more. Pickup truck. Semi's and more. Station wagon's and more. 's

If you have the patients to wait, this 65 Dart is on my to do list. I won't promise when, but it will be a complete kit. Engine and all.

It's been awhile since my last post. The inaccuracies of this Hum 3D file are unbelievable. I had started a 56 Dodge cad file and figured I could save time purchasing a Hum 3D file of a 55 Coronet 4 dr. Wrong decision. I would have been better off finishing the 56 file. I can"t find anything, if anything, right about this file. Currently, I've been working on the front fender And front end. I have corrected the slant of the fender top. I have corrected the wheel well opening. I have corrected the slant of the hood on the. I have started a correct hood on the fender. I have started the correction of the front fender and grill opening. The only way to fix these errors is by creating patch panels. What you see highlighted is the original file pf the front fender plus corrections I have noted above. Here is what the front end looks like.
