Texas 3D Customs

[Redisetta]

Charles, I just received my latest order from you which is the dual Holley slant 6. This engine is Fantabulous lol. The detail is incredible. I’m putting it in a 39 Chevy Panel delivery truck. Your engines are second to none. I’m seriously considering swapping out the stock engines in all of my future builds for one of yours. Thanks for what you’re doing for out wonderful hobby.

It really wouldn't be that hard to do in real life, flip the pulley bracket make yourself some ugly triangle shaped adapter to go on top of the lower manifold. Sheet metal and some welding will do and then suppose you would have to have a custom belt made but really aren't they all custom in this industry and I mean the real thing not scale models

I’m very happy with the items I’ve purchased 

this is my old pro nova converted to a base unit with the Texas 3d resin 153 Chevy 4 cylinder and the turbo Gide transmission!

Any Cadillac 354's in your future ?

[Texas_3D_Customs]

Probably eventually I will do a Cadillac V8 but I'm kind of still stuck with two mortgages so money is a little tight so I can't go out and buy an engine there's also some other engines I know I'm going to do before that one

[Daverde]

Any Oldsmobile 455s possibly? You make great stuff !

And this is the inherent problem with answering these questions yes yes indeed that is another engine on the list but again lots and lots of engines to do and these requests could continue on forever one of those things there's hundreds and hundreds of desirable engines out there I know most of them I am a car guy after all with all this takes time and as it stands right now kind of unable to do what I really want to do the reason I moved if anybody really wants to help me out I have a house in Dallas Metro that really needs to be bought

It was more of a joke I never thought anybody would actually inquire about it

[Cool Hand]

Always excellent quality products.

I can print my own stuff, but I like Texas 3D Customs designs and the print quality is some of the best I have purchased.

 

Thanks Charles.

My first order from 3D sat in the post office for two weeks while on vacation.  Picked it up today and it was in perfect condition. I couldn't be happier with the detailing!

Thanks Charles

I love it! Just curious are you working on 58 & 59 versions as well? I'm a 59 year model and would love to do a 59 Ford pickup.

I am not talking about what I'm doing I have found that that ends up upsetting people when I don't do what they want and if I say that I'm going to do it I don't do it fast enough then that makes people mad so I have this new policy where I don't talk about future plans much.

Understandable. We see it so much when the "big" guys announce something for the future and within a month people are screaming where is it? I'll just keep my fingers crossed that you are working in that direction.

The bigger issue is generally speaking when I do a product line a platform whatever you want to call it there's generally lots of options so I release this 1957 F100 there might be a 58 or 59 a custom there might be all sorts of stuff I will say there are other things coming but I release the first version and it ends up doing really really well and I can't release the next one until I have time to get past the initial surge if I released everything at once I would get behind even more than I am right now I think I've sold close to 30 of these already in 3 days I can only print four at a time without dedicating too many of my printers. Another thing that happens is I'll release one version and nobody buys it because they want to wait to order all of them or whatever so I'm decided to release one wait till I can take the next step if it doesn't do well then I'll release the second one relatively quickly like I did with the Ford Barra engine. But then you have instances like this where if I would have released everything at once I would never even sleep and I need sleep

I've seen websites with "Wish List" options. Folks could let you know what they would want. One even had a "Second" button, so they could better guage broader interest. 

Of course, that might not prevent the original suggesting person from seconding multiple times, unless there was some block or signature requirement. 

 

(EDIT: I recently ranted about not paying for 3D stuff. Looking at your site, those engines are REALLT tempting! Nice stuff.)

I've done some more things on my Facebook page and while it does seem like a great idea there are some significant downfalls to it the Pontiac engine I put off for a very long time there were two people who were continuously nagging me about it and I mean relentlessly like I almost kicked him off my Facebook page. And I said fine show me some interest started a whole thread about it no interest at all I mean two or three people maybe cuz there wasn't much really available for it to go in now I did eventually do it 77 trans Am was really easy and I happened to find an engine that I can buy relatively affordably but it made them very very mad that I would not do it even though there was little to no interest. I take suggestions and I listen and most of it comes down to what I think will be a good idea. Now the 1960 F100 I saw it someone said something I was like you know that's probably not a bad idea it has done a lot better than I thought it would and there's only one version out and the comment has been made on my Facebook multiple times I need to do a 58 to 59 and I'm not saying that's out of the realm of possibilities I'm just not talking about what I'm doing but I do listen.
