Making some progress on this one. Dodge Demon with a twin turbo 440. 3D printed engine and interior parts, chassis, wheels and tires. Only thing from the kit is the body, interior tub and dash. I ordered a 3D printed grill as well. Model Master Metallizer for the turbos, Alclad for the rest. Probably my best engine to date.

That is a nice kit, even in stock form. It goes together well.

Seat belt porn... who made those? I want at least 10 of them.

The engine detail is killer. The one thing that stops me on twin turbo swaps is that you need lots of room up front. Looks like you conquered that.

Beautifully detailed engine! Did you buy the resin engine and interior bits or make them yourself?

I downloaded the files and printed them myself

DAMN, that is very impressive work, especially the interior. Your dash is beautifully detailed. What color will it end up being? 

So far and I am going with Torred. I am limited now that I painted the wheels black and gold, so either red or some sort of blue. White would be good, but I need some color on this one.

The seatbelts are photoetch from Eduard. They usually make aircraft stuff, but I have used these quite a bit and they are great. 

It took a LOT of work to get this to fit. Resizing, 3 different chassis and front section mockups, etc. The file creator even modified the file for me, but it wasn't enough. Another member of the group build offered to help me out and redesigned the manifolds to hug the block, it's the only way it would have worked. So out of a 3 month build, 1 month was getting the stupid engine to fit. What I noticed on a couple of the TT setups is the manifolds hit the frame rail or control arms on lowered chassis setups, so it's tricky.

Loving the way that engine looks, spectacular detailing work.

Also, those brake discs are nuts!

Appreciate it, thankyou

I think the motor could almost be a stand alone item, nice work.

I think I will do this one or a similar one in 1/12 as a model by itself. I have a GT350R engine printed in 1/12 that I will do next
