CabDriver Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Messing with this curbside 3D printed Beetle salt flats car…modified a seat I had printed previously to fit, and figuring out what little interior stuff will be visible when it’s done… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have to get carried away, and we still end up with something very cool, at the end! I have a dry lakes/Bonneville project that's very similar, detail-wise, that I need to get back to. It won't be a replica, just an impression. The panels won't be removeable, so whatever can be seen through the cockpit opening would be it. The prototype went on to become the famous Chrisman #25 dragster. Maybe, here in a few weeks, once the dragster's done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slotto Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Santa brought me some new liquid chrome. First I covered all 4 of these 3D printed resin wheels with my black airbrush mix. Apple Barrel gloss black mixed 2:1 with 70% isopropyl shot at 20 psi. After about a day, i brushed on Alclad chrome on the fronts. This didnt coat as well as i would have hoped so i chased that with a chrome pen to fill in what didnt cover. The rears are a completely different story. I brushed on this. It went on like a dream and covered without a problem. Both are very close and i am happy with the results. The red design was brushed on later with my red airbrush mix.

That's a cool project - nice work so far! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtx6970 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Having recently retired from the day to day work force. I've decided to do some modeling projects that have boxed away for several years. 1st up is a replica of a friend's car. I started long ago. Petty blue 440 six barrel Superbird. Johan body and interior tub. Amt chassis. Parts box drivetrain for multiple cars ( still need to find some pieces I had for it. ) Spent the day today polishing imperfections from paint that's at least 10 years old. Long way from perfect But I can live with it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Trying too decide on my tire upgrade for my Cannonball 70 Super bee and choose my wheels and getting everything together for my build. I don’t like looking for things during the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
