Model cars mag forums used to be that way too.. @Art Laskicheck with @Dave Ambrose to see how he fixed that
Thanks, Bruce. I'll check with Dave.

I’m not sure why that’s happening because the web hosting service should ensure that doesn’t happen. It not really unsafe because the store is not hosted there so there are non financial transactions happening or any logins taking place either.
That said, this is an old thread. You can now also hit the store directly at scaleproshop.com
Thanks,
Art

You've got to be kidding, 14 perfectly spaced cuts on a rod that is 1/16th of an inch. I am sometimes just flabbergasted at what you achieve my friend!!!!

What Randy said… inspiring and humbling at the same time. Nice work, Tim!

I'm surprised no one replied, Donald, but we had 61 other builders join you! Thank you for coming. I hope you enjoyed it.

Love to see you back at it, my friend! Every update is always a lesson in old-fashioned, top-tier model-making. Such good stuff...

I started my own 3D design journey by designing the air cleaner myself. I made copies of each to use for mock up so I could finish the hood before painting. I’ll need to print a new filter later that’s just a little shorter.

Next step was to turn the Toyota engine into something that resembles the Ford engine this car had. I had my good friend Dutch @dog3models draw up and print a new valve cover for me. He also drew up a front cover gear drive and water pump, that I printed myself.
I decided to go old school on the injectors, and scratch built them. I made one intake tube from styrene, then molded four good ones. Then I finished making the whole injector body, then cast a few of those. I also made some mods to the block mand cast a few of those instead of modifying both blocks.

Great project Art. I have always enjoyed building models of peoples' favorite cars to give to them.
Thanks for looking, Phil! I generally don’t like parting with my builds, but sometimes it’s worth it.

Funny how those "this should be pretty easy, really..." projects seem to expand into more and more and more effort, isn't it?
So true, Bill!

I replaced all the original panels with Styrene, Not only were the original panels too thick, but they were different than what's on the car in a lot of ways. I also made new nerf bars and bumpers out of brass. This required that making spuds on the chassis for them to mount to as well, as the Die Cast did not do that.
This one has the decal proof on it.
