These came yesterday

Well, I thought someone would chime in. I believe there was discussion about his items before, but I could be wrong. A few years ago I had a couple items from him, they were ok. But I read feedback on eBay from other customers, because he casts the Corvette Summer Vette, which I recently purchased, and I must say it's pretty nice. And yes, I posted pics of it on here already. Hope this helps.

Had/have some back peddling to do, forgot a detail on the firewall, plus tweaking the front clips to fit and tilt. Here's one...

Maybe reinforce it with some piano wire or ??

Looks like you were doing too many wheelies! Unfortunately there are so many plastics that can be used in 3D printing, it's sometimes hard to know what you are getting.

Any dates in mind??

Those wheels look awesome.

As requested, everything looks very nice. I feel similar about curbside kits, or low part count kits, but I also bought for the subject matter. It has a detailed engine bay and removable engine plate, so a power plant can be added.

Also got two Nova wagons today from John (automodels2)

I like this look, good to know on the easy fit from the deserter.

Thanks to all. Yes, hence the title....x3. scroll back to see #1 done I believe around may 2019.

I believe both bodies are ready, some light coats of spot primer, seal primer, a wet sand, then shooting some color on the insides of the interiors and front clips.

Fabbed up some front spindles of my own.

I plan to do so as well. Check other truck kits to see what might fit or go with aftermarket parts.

So which dollar store chain exactly?

Yes, most definitely. I believe the paint mixing with the solution weakens/pollutes it.

I will post pics of current progress soon, haven't taken any of the chassis and new tires

So, I decided to tackle a "simple" project to finish in between working on the Flintstone Flyers. I have several bodies I painted for drag slot cars, but never finished. So now that I'm out of the Racing, I believe, I can turn these bodies into finished builds pretty easily....right? I changed my mind on the tires, rebuilt the rear end to accommodate the new tire choice, made adapter spindles, then found the fronts to be too wide and it set too high. I decided to utilize the lowering set up from Iceman, which didn't help that problem. Ended up rebuilding those parts because they were brittle. Now changed tires again to come in farther, but now I am making disc brakes and rotors for those, plus making a stronger spindle set up. Here are some pics to show the progression so far.

I believe I saw some on Ron Olsen's Shapeway page

Finally grabbed a pair of these...

This morning both bodies are officially fitted to their respective chassis. Added detail to firewall areas.

Managed a little bench time here and there. Fixed all window pillars, some more body work, made and replaced rear trim again, as this is common on all three bodies. Also finished other firewall.

Gee, thanks Rob...now I have a long list of items I could use!! LOL I haven't looked at Ron's items in a long while, great ideas!

The actual trim is about an inch wide, probably between 3/16 and a 1/4 Inch at most. Has a slight depression in the center I believe 1/4 to 5/16 wide. Can scale it from there
