Do you still make the Eleanor body kit ?

I make a trains kit for the GT350 I will not say that word That's why you may have trouble finding it on my site If you go to transits or search for Mustang you'll find it You have to understand why I'm not saying that word

Some new stuff

[Texas_3D_Customs]

A new Ardun variant

[eastown]

Hi:  just received my 2 Ardun Flat heads and that great slant six.  Thank you, the quality is excellent.

  I am in Canada so delivery times and dollar exchange and duty hurts but that is no fault of yours.

 Very happy and will purchase more.   

  Thanks again  Bob.

The exchange rate should be relatively correct I mean of course what is $1 American worth in Canadian ask 10 different people and you'll get 10 different answers as far as taxes there's nothing I can do about that The only thing I could do is lie on the customs forms and you know I don't feel like taking that risk to be honest I'm really glad that you're happy with the product

Because I can

[Texas_3D_Customs]

Oh yeah and this

[BeakDoc]

Received my first TX3D order earlier this week- a couple power plants and a couple sets of off road wheels and tires. It certainly won’t be my last order. Beautiful, quality work. The order was filled and shipped in the blink of an eye. These are certainly exciting times for our hobby.

I have been working on getting my shipment times down to a minute now Not all orders are shipped instantly or the same day or sometimes not even the next day kind of depends on what you're tires take well If I don't have enough to fill the order then I have to print them and that's where things start getting harder also large-scale I don't have enough room to store I think I'm at 130 different engine combinations at this point possibly more plus who even knows how many different transmissions that I can't store 1/8 scale of all that much less all the other scales

This now puts me with an inline 6 from all three of the big three

Trained graphic artist that I am, I must get myself one of these 3D printers someday … time and cash shortage just doesn't allow it at the present time. 3D printing was still more or less in its infancy back in the mid-late 1990s when I applied for work at a couple places that were using these things to make prototype parts, but I never got hired do do that.

My question, since I don't know enough about what virtual artwork is used, is how easy it is to alter the virtual engines to become fantasy ones? Right now I'm doing it the old fashioned way with a Willys Go-Devil engine, turning it into a straight 5 just for laugh's sake via extra plastic on the block ends and one cut-shorter Lincoln V12 flathead. I had a bit more fun with the pure fantasy GM slant 7 in my Red Baron build. But when it comes to something like your above Ford straight 6, or something else like a Viper V10, how easy or difficult wold it be to create a fantasy Ford straight 7 or 8, or an abbreviated "Vipe V6" or comically extended Viperrrrr V14 … or to create any other variety of engine you already print where cylinders could be added or subtracted?

Not that hard I mean that's how I have a V12 Cammer

With the addition of this Ford I6, what are the possibilities of doing a supercharged version? I have a project in mind that could use just such an engine, or a supercharged small-block Ford engine.

I already have a supercharged small block Ford and a blown version of this engine might happen at some point but not anytime soon I have other versions I'm making

Ford EFI 300 is live on my site: Texas 3D Customs - EFI Ford 300

[rattle can man]

If that 300 had an option of an AODIt would perfect for my truck.  As it is I will be ordering one soon.

AODs are easy to find, every Revell 32 Ford kit has one in it. 

[Texas_3D_Customs]

Another option would be to put my 4R70W behind it, externally the AOD and the 4R70 are pretty much identical and the modular bell housing from what I understand is the same just different sized bolts which is not really an issue here

Wow.  It even has the vacuum tree on the intake plenum.  Amazing!

[Texas_3D_Customs]

And with this addition I am going into cruise mode until I go on vacation next week. I will leave my site up with a password disclaimer but I need a break. Colorado bound.

[Texas_3D_Customs]

So this is the last 300 I will make for a while and its quite different

[rattle can man]

Finally got my parts earlier this week (USPS gave them a nice scenic trip through Texas and KS) beautiful work!

[rattle can man]

To clarify, Texas 3D shipped them quickly after my purchase. USPS took over a week via 8 locations to get it to me.
