My name is Ken, and I have an addiction. 3D Printing!

I'll pick up a kit, look at the wheels, "No, there has to be better." Next thing you know, I wake up and there's 3 different bodies printing, f250 crew cab, box van and a civic. WTH?... I was only looking for wheels!?

Well here's the civic in mockup...

Not sure if I'm going stock, JDM, or lowrider

I've been way too busy with other stuff lately but here's something I threw together to get the juices flowing again. This a is a glue bomb rescue with parts box wheels at the moment. Sort of a blank canvas. Thoughts?

'64/65 El Camino ('64 front clip courtesy of the new AMT '64 Malibu SS grafted on to a '65 AMT El Camino body). With 3D printed Foose Knuckle wheels. I think I need to bring the rear end up and the front end down just a little bit.

Hello Bruce, that is a good question. My dad’s friend owned San Jose Honda motorcycles and had a silver one. I was lucky enough to drive it. It was silver with black interior. Oddly it drove heavy like a truck. But what a thrill for a 17 year old kid. So I’m leaning towards silver but other colors are an option.

That's one clean Civic, looks great. Definitely not an example you see out there , IRL or kit form.

Just mocking up for stance. I kinda like it 3 wheel parked.

That's a beautiful shade of blue. It's difficult to get a good look at what you've done with the top and hood bump. It looks interesting though.
