Prostreet Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Finally have a full set of wheels, Pretty happy with them. Not sure why but on my front wheels the spokes are a hair twisted from the center, Not sure if it's because of where i'm starting the spoke or if i'm taking to much off on the radius cut. Once i have the center caps made and the tires on and mounted nobody will notice, It's very slight. I'm thinking the next task is the rear end and front and rear suspension to get it on all fours. Let me know what you think good or bad, always looking for constructive feedback.
futurattraction Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Your wheels look super, Joe! For a first-time effort, you should be really happy with them. If you decide you don't want 'em, send 'em to me! LOL
Prostreet Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Thank you Scott, Now if i could just get a 1/12th liberty shifter, hint hint lol.
futurattraction Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 LOL! I'll see if I can try to squeeze a couple in on upcoming PE orders (and IF I don't forget! NOT LOL!)
Prostreet Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 LOL! I'll see if I can try to squeeze a couple in on upcoming PE orders (and IF I don't forget! NOT LOL!) Ohh, very nice
futurattraction Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Did you know there is a 1/12th Liberty trans on Shapeways, now?
Prostreet Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 Very nice ! Thank you. Did you know there is a 1/12th Liberty trans on Shapeways, now? Scott i did, but can't find it now. Can you please PM me the link?
vintagedragfan Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 look at you go Joe! wheels turned out sooo nice, you should be very happy with them, I think they look fantastic! keep after it bro!!
Prostreet Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 Thx. Bill, appreciate it. I started working on the chassis now that i decided what i want to do to make it look the way i want. I all ready cut the wheel wells out for the mini tub, and i cut the back part of the frame rails for tire clearance. That part of the frame will be boxed out and there will be tubing running in between them for strength, i have seen this done on 1:1 cars before( usually on full frame cars though). I have to fill in the section where the gas tank was before i do any more cutting, still lots to remove and modify. Rain in the forecast so i should be able to get some more done lol.
underdog1495 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Last time I looked he had taken the Liberty trans down off the site. I was going to order another one, guess I'll wait for the resin ones
Slammed1 Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Project is looking sic,plain kick butt!!! Need some of these type parts for some of my 1/18 projects.
Prostreet Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Thx. fellas, Pretty excited. My new project showed up, I worked with a 3D artist to make a 2012 and 2013 Promod camaro body, then had Tim from TDR make it printable. This is a 1/16th 2013 promod camaro, i should have something started on it this weekend. Doors don't fit totally perfect so i will have to do some work there to fill a couple tiny gaps, but other than that it looks good.
Red rocket 10 Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Hey Joe that thing looks mean , I've got that on my list to get Leonard
ScrappyJ Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Final product on the late model Camaro looks good, Joe!
comp1839 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 the wheels are killer joe!!!! love the new body!!!!
stump Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Joe, those wheels are a work of art , you should feel extremely proud mate. They look sensational in fact. (need a thumbs up, insert here... ) And loving the "new" Camaro body.......might just have to save for a 1/12 one of those babies. Cheers Greg
brassbuilder Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I have to repeat what everyone else has said about those wheels....for being a first timer and not having any idea what you were doing, you figured it out quick! That is some nice machining you did Mike
Mooneyzs Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Joe.... Any updates buddy? Or you been having some good mountain biking weather
Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 What happened to this I hope you have some updates soon
