bobss396 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I'm looking to find a 3D source for NASCAR wide-5 modified wheels, the older style with the safety hubs. 4 bolts on the front centers and 8 on the rears (for floating axles). They could fit the existing PPP modified tires, or new ones could be made up. Lots of guys I know are looking for them. I have been cobbling some sets together from slush cast resin. I used to make a few sets when I had machine shop access, but 3D printing is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haigwood Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) I was just asking. Not sure if I ever will be using that part of the Trans-kit. I mostly bought it for the engine for a Cobra Edited September 13, 2023 by Jon Haigwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I did it based on a completely different reason it was all based on availability and partially it is the correct year we all know that the movie car was a 67 GT500 GT350 GT500 really the differences are very minimal and I'm replacing all those anyway. I think you're saying I made the right choice but What year are the kids were made in inadvertently may had something with it but really it was about finding me easiest to acquire. For example the F1 truck that has that pikes peak look old smoking It's great kit but it's impossible to find and sales suffer for that reason I did not design that one so that's how it came to be but on the other hand really what would be the other option other than the foose truck.

Texas_3D_Customs Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 So was going through my FE engine doing a favor for someone and I realized I never fully completed my Blown Setup, I mean it was close really close, so I finished it off and am printing a small batch of both variants now. Transmission is selectable I am talking about the hats more than anything on the variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should check out the Miami Vice Daytona Spyder. It has the air cleaner set up but no AC. The kit is pretty accurate for the TV car. It is Corvette based and has the Corvette engine and chassis.

So there are a couple issues there One that's extremely thin which extremely thin and resin prints usually means extremely hard to make without falling apart The other problem is there's an air filter inside there and people notoriously love to complain at me about the air filters inside my scoop for my 572 so you try to print an air filter that you can insert into the scoop or make the scoop where just kind of sits on top on a very thin ledge on the carburetor but the air filter can still fit through It's not really ideal making things in sheet metal for a car is a lot different than 3D printing. Now I could probably make something that resembles that that was two pieces but I'm not going to sell it with an engine If I do it it'll be a separate item and generally speaking separate items It's kind of a lose lose situation either I charge a lot to kind of make up for making these little fiddly parts for one off orders or I spent a lot of time making something that gets me no profit and I know it's not all about profit but this is not my side hustle that's just for fun anymore. That is one of the bad things about quitting my job and doing this as my income now. Edited September 19, 2023 by Texas_3D_Customs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas_3D_Customs Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) This is the version I will be listing it is two pieces the filter and the scoop are two separate pieces and while I know the filter is not properly shaped and you'll understand when you see the pictures of the parts it makes it fit all together well Edited September 21, 2023 by Texas_3D_Customs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
