    Thank you very much. Would you have a link to the engine on Cults3D?

    There are no 3D files for the gearbox either. I haven't even found any pictures of it. 

    Here is s link to the engine

     

    https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/ford-v6-ecoboost-3-5l-engine-motabas

     

    I'm almost certain he used the same sequential gearbox and tranfercase as the hoonicorn. I had some picures of the bare chassis and some without the body. That may help also. If I can find them ill send them your way.

  2. Revell foose FD100. Engine, transmission, wheels and tires are 3D printed. All kit chrome was stripped and airbrushed with molitow liquid chrome along with the resin engine parts, exhaust and wheel barrels.

    2k clear

    A light sand and polish

    I was happy to make it to the GSL for their final show. And took a handful of cars to show.

  3. I wrapped up this build before the last GSL. 

    All kit chrome was stripped and airbrushed with molitow liquid chrome along with the resin engine parts, exhaust and wheel barrels.

    A light sand and polish

  4.  old topic but ......

    Have you considered using the restored kit from C1-Models?

    1/24 Restomod ‘76 Firebird C1-TK032

    1217013-64482-45-720.jpg.6876ff2476b68169f1620a90ee605fd3.jpg

    This is made for the 1/24 Revell 78 trans am. It will give you the correct hood, front and rear bumper and tail lights to convert to a 76.  With little work to remove the aero parts, you have everything you need. This is the route I took. 

     

    Hope this helps!

    Nice looking Chevelle.

    Beautiful looking Chevelle. The engine looks great and makes this sort of a sleeper. The color and paint finish are nice and smooth and I thin k the vinyl roof looks realistic.  

    exactly what I was going for thanks

    Sharp looking Chevelle !  Great colors and detailing , also like the your engine choice and the Rally wheels , a real sleeper !

    Great job on the Chevelle, lot of details on the engine. I like the color and finish, not to mentioned the very well rendered underside.

    thank you

    Beautiful looking Chevelle. Lovely work on the engine and I like the overspray on the floors.

    thank you. brings some life and detail to the chassis 

    On 1/31/2023 at 4:23 AM, Zippi said:

    That's a purdy looking 67 Chevelle.  That 572 BB looks good setting in the business end.  Great job.

    I'm assuming its a 1/24 scale engine??

    with a digital file you can scale them to any size. its actually 1/25 but you can see how large it is. making headders took a while 

     

    thank you all for you wonderful comments !

    Hi Jason,  beautiful Chevelle indeed. One of my all time favourite body styles. (I’m biased being the owner of a ‘67 Beaumont) 

    May I ask where you sourced the tires and wheels? Hard to tell in the photos, but tires look like BF Goodrich TA’s ? The deep offset rallye wheels are beautifully done. I plan a replica of my car one day, and I am looking at sourcing some TA’s, and good, deep dish  rallye wheels with those centre caps. Thanks in advance, and again, absolutely beautiful build.

    Cheers, Steve

    hello Steve

    thank you!

    you are correct tires are BFG/TA's. wheels and tires i 3d printed wheels are 3 peice making them a breeze to paint

  7. hello all, 

    finished up this quick build last week. first one for the year.

    i wanted to build a street/strip inspired car so it had a transplant to a 572

    HA! I saw someone else's version a minute ago! What paint colors did you use for this? That's what's been keeping me from building it. i think I have the original article somewhere but really doesn't touch on the paint. Awesome work!

    if I remember correctly,  the blue was duplicolor and the white is tamiya pearl white

     

    thanks!

  10. hello all,

    This is the most amazing detail I have seen.  You make me wanna do a odd car to build into a pro mod

    thank you. pull something out and do it 

    I've learned alot with this build. being my first attempt at a tube chassis car. now I've got a line up of uncommon cars to do when this one is finnished

    Superb craftsmanship Jason.  Keep her going brother! -Mark

    thanks for your kind words my friend

  12. update on the impala 

    I've re-made the firewall to allow more clearance for the turbo/down pipe assembly. still need some finishing but it made a big difference. 

     

    I've also made progress on the drives haft tunnel and safety tube as well as the drivers seat cage.

    been playing around with the dash too. without something there it looks odd.

    the dash looks nice with the body in place but when the body is off it looks really bulky.  not really sure what ill do with that yet.
