'64 GTO

[Slotto]

I picked this up a few years ago at a show. It was a bag of parts. After looking closely, I found I am missing a few parts. I started on 9 Dec 23.

the hope was to get this stance. The wheels and tires are 3D printed from Ebay.

after fiddling with the suspension I think I got it pretty close to the desired look.

I sprayed the rims and tires with my black airbrush mix then hand painted the silver accents with alclad and the emblems with red acrylic. 

I dont hate it

next came the interior by liberating the door cards, spraying everything black and applying flocking to the carpet area.

last but certainly not least, I assembled the engine and applied plug wires.

Things have been slow going because my wife gifted me a 3D printer for Christmas. Ever since, I've been testing my limits with it and learning what i can and cannot do. Cant say when I'll get back on this one.

I don’t hate it either, it looks mean sitting low on those wheels. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!

[Duddly01]

Very nice start! Great stance.

[SDC]

I agree with Donald, great looking stance!

[NOBLNG]

Nice stance, and those wheels look great!?

Wicked stance Steve! This will be really cool. Kinda cruel for you to tease us then tell us you’re going to make us wait..??‍♂️?

Hahaha, sorry man, not enough hours in the day for all my interests.

As mentioned earlier, this was a bunch of parts in a bag. At the time it looked mostly there but after getting her home, I found I was gonna need some things

One of the things is the vents that sit in the hood cavities. Well, thanks to my new toy, I was able to squirt out a couple.

after a bit of trimming, I was able to get them in place.

I can live with that

[KWT]

I already like the way this is looking

Besides the hood scoops, I've been tinkering around with some other things. I found a drawing with dimensions for a 32 Ford frame and drew it up and printed it to scale. Then started in in some bomber type seats with seperate cushions. Next I came up with some air filters of different thicknesses and the topper which happened to print out at half a millimeter. Lastly some disc brakes and calipers. I'm having a ball!

I love the '64 Goats. You nailed the stance perfectly! 

 

May I ask what printer and materials you're using? Is there a cure time?

I'm using PLA. The cure time is almost immediate. The resolution isn't as nice as the resin printers but it's good enough for my needs -for now

I made a couple sets of wheels today. The one on the left, the center didnt turn out like I wanted so I made another with a cavity that accepts a chrome cap. These are 22mm x 10mm

Looking good.  I'm liking those wheels.
