  1. ill pass its not based on a HSV Holden, GM is up to their bait and switch tricks again
  2. theres some interested parties funding that wheel
  3. i know that trick, im sticking with paint i even got the can already
  4. easier to paint lol ive done it before and had it last 5 years before i sold the truck
  5. had a interview for a internship and applied at some other places, then i came home and it was still beautiful out so i hung outside with the dog and gave some much needed TLC to my new car. Coppers favorite toys if theyre not out he dredges the yard the trim is crying for paint not sure if i wanna go with a darker grey or go black. a junkyard has a wrecked turbo i might head down there and swipe some parts off it like a working headlight wiper assembly
  6. haha i know those bikes its those crappy hummer folding bikes
  7. who says you cant almost get the good stuff i did got this at frys boom
  8. yep i use inventor 2012 i got it from here, you do have to register. www.students.autodesk.com
  9. http://i.materialise.com its called prime gray, when i get the cragar ill place an order for the 24" chopper wheel to them
  10. heres some 1/24 wheels i drew up, im getting the 4 lug cragar prototyped ill see it around the end of the month. cool thing is these are scaleable so if i feel the need to change the size i can do it on the fly. when some funds come in ill be getting more masters prototyped for resin casting. 24" in 1/24 26" in 1/24 Dually set 13" in 1/24 the centercap has my logo now not cragar
  11. i switched to a different site after seeing this smoother material cost is more or less but the site allows you to scale the file to get different wheels on the fly so to speak.
  12. they dont machine the wheels they use a extrusion process
  13. i am lol i ordered one then im gonna mold it and cast it but it would be fun to have a glass wheel replica like those avon glass cars
  14. depending on the volume and size yes. im thinking of scaling this up and getting a nice glass paper weight
  15. figured this would be a worthy enough investment the site is called http://www.shapeways.com/ you upload a 3d part file and for a price you can make your own in a lot of materials in various prices, you can also sell through their site. heres the first wheel i drew and purchased this one is a generic 4 lug 4 spoke Cragar SS(the centercap has ODD extruded on it now but not in this pic) the wheel is around 13"
  16. how do those work i see some sick designs at HL
  17. yes i do hit me on PM heres a update on the paint
  18. the color is testors red metallic no additives
  19. thanks for the replies guys, ive never seen one which is why im doing it theyre actually resin i cast, sourced from a MG or morgan the lip part is from the MRC Cragar. i plan on getting the set chromed.
  20. does that kit come with that louvered window?
  21. originally the black rat vette. paint plan is lace and candy over this shade of red
