Decal update

IMG_1124.JPG

Another decal update tried to use the Sunoco Decal on the other side and just crumpled. So order new decal sheet for the Mobil decals. Now the car is ready to clear coat.

Test fitting some new wheels and tyres I 3D printed for the XY Ford Falcon GT.

I really like this build! Is this an ordinary kit or a one off?! I’ve never seen an xy in scale

Starting to plan out some idea's for a DDA Ford Falcon XY gasser/streetfreak buddy build with @Brockc

Figured I would start with wheels and working out the stance, as thats where most of my builds begin.

3D printed some wheel and tyre files from Z Force Model Worx  And will be using a Texas 3D Customs engine.

Never mind, just saw this post.  Awesome build either way you go with the wheels!

Another one that has been mocked up for years that i just found in some parts boxes while looking for some other stuff.I really need to get this one going again.A Bandit Resin 70 Dart Swinger. It uses the Revell 68/69 Dart doner chassis. Going to be factory stock with a AMT 71 Duster 340 engine/trans.

I really like this one! 70 darts are beautiful cars! That 68 dart kit is a great base too! Are you gonna go with the Dana 60 or the 8 3/4 axle?


I’ve got a Hemi under glass barracuda that I’ve reverted to ‘factory stock’ because I wanted accurate floor pans and firewall before I started customizing it. Engine wise,  It’s now a tossup between a turbo’d 340 4 gear or a 413 with a cross ram and 4 gear.  I stole a Dana 60 out of a 68 dart kit for the axle in that car too!

Looking good Luke! What wheels/tires are those?

Cheers,

Mathias

As always thanks for commenting Mathias, cant wait to get some colour on this LC

Wheels and tyres I printed myself, painted with Alclad chrome and Vallejo 70.950 black.

Wheels are 19' Staggered GM Magnum 500 and 3D files are ZFORCEMODELWORX they were up scaled to 19.5mm.

Tyres are Mickey Thompson Sportsman low profile and 3D files are from MORRIESKUSTOMS  they were rescaled to suit the wheels.

Revell's 68 Chevelle with some bits of the 67 pro street one

Engine is going to be the 396 of the kit but with the pro street exhaust. I hope it pushs out enough power then to burn some rubber on the shelf when it is finally under glass

Paint is Tango-red from Audi RS E-TRON GT

Actually, I have decided to build this Pro Stock Dart instead of building it factory stock. I have everything to build it so it will be getting a Dana 60 rear and a Hemi using the Revell 68 Hemi Dart kit as a doner.One of these days I will get started on it.

I had someone tell me it's cheating to use 3d printed parts at the last HMCN....

New WIP. Chevy box van. Everything will be 3d printed for this build. I don't care how much resin I go through! 

More pics as they come off the printers

That’s an interesting change of course! Are you going to stance it like it’s launching as it is in the reference photo?! I’m excited to see how she’ll turn out!

A long benched project that needs to get back on track to completion. 
I made the rear truck arms out of dental glosser picks, It just hit me one night that those could work as neat looking suspension components.

Bunch of cool mock ups. Sometimes that is the best part of the hobby.

Got my 32 ford four door resin from drag city castings, or Ed Fluck. Sorry i forget his site name. Looking at using pegasus crossbar rims n tires with automotive touch up paint it is actually fords ember glo paint. I am using it on a amt 66 galaxie 500 7 litre.

Of course this is not on top of the to do list yet so may be a while before much gets done. But then again who knows.
