Real nice engine and start..
thanks, its still a kit engine but amazing what some dressing does
-
cleaned the engine bay on my 67 by moving the alternator and switching it with a kit version of the front plate electric pump combo and then i made standalone moroso waterpumps
-
my spraybooth is still under construction but i decided to clean the engine bay up while i wait on stuff, i basically made a kit like setup with a electric pump and decided to relocate the alternator to a lower part on the engine im debating making a see through shroud since i accidentally opened up to much space

I got a set of those from a caster in England he makes most of the euro wheels out

Shapeways issue, i came across it a while back not a issue with new LCD resin
-
Im still heavily invested in RC and 3D printing but getting back to building in 2021 wish some low skill builds. All the custom pieces are 3D printed.

Im not the least bit surprised it happened. They kept featuring the same builds show after show, ignored the younger lowriders and big wheel builders. Its also model builders fault for bringing the same builds show after show for years. MCM isnt far behind

A friend of Jeremy has just posted an update on the ClearlyScale Build page on facebook. Jeremy is still in very rough shape following his major heart surgery near 2 years ago, and has suffered a stroke earlier on this year. So his fight isnt over yet, but he is slowly recovering.
I know allot of people are waiting and people start to think they are just being ripped off , due to so many other casters going MIA and taking their money. I can say with extreme confidence that when Jeremy is back to health he will take care of long outstanding orders.
All I know is what was posted as I havent talked to Jeremy myself in almost 8 Months.
Actually everybody switched to the 3D engines hes gonna have to work hard to catch up

Oh God, no! Not that grille! Those wheel "covers" must be a murder on other cars and pedestrians!
Once you have the design, maybe you could modify it to something more mundane?
The Riviera is even more
butchered, customized. Where did those headlights come from? Though the paint jobs are beautiful on both.Theyre both eldogs it all depends because hes putting all the money up for it thats something that doesnt happen in the hobby often. The riviera will be pretty close to stock compared to the eldorado

79-85 Eldo gets my attention.
More than likely they will be heavily modified since the owner of the burgundy one is willing to bankroll the entire project from drawing to casting

What exactly do you mean with "aesthetically updated", concerning the SAAB? Or, what parts are not going to be stock?
Bumpers are updated and the wheels are from a Saab9000. Most of my cars will have minor customization like trim delete and smoothed bumpers

It was stock but it wasnt doing well with the crowds i was targeting, this is more aimed at Youngtimers

I've been waiting for this for a long time!!. If you make the grill and bumpers separate, you can offer the early and late models. Also please use the best looking wheels ever made.

Wont take much to make it stock but because of my main customer base the car will do better as a custom. minilites are easy to get im sticking with the 9000 3 spokes

Its gonna be almost a full kit Interior,glass,lenses,modernized late model 900 wheels and a simple pan chassis for cost reasons, being its my first im going to keep them curbside after that possibly do roller style casts. The cars will be aesthetically updated since factory isnt something i care much for. If this sells well the next build will be a 87/88 B2200 Mazda Truck and following that a Volkswagon SP2 thats more or less going to be designed to fit the Tamiya VW bug and the third release if all goes well a 80s Eldorado convertible/Riviera convertible(maybe).

I hope you do not mind but what is your setup and cost involved with the printer? The wheels look amazing by the way.
I ask because down the road I want to purchase a 3D printer.
im at 470$ but keep in mind i spent 600$ a year on just parts one year but i also can draw most of my own parts. the hard part is finding parts but i started a massive 3d parts repository thats updated once a month. i mostly cater to larger wheels and lowriders but im moving closer to having 1/25 wheels from 13" to 34" and some components in between. i also started with a team of artists to help them bring 3d cars to the printable realm.
