this is a vintage mpc 68 barracuda with a figurine of me next to it
it was missing a few parts and was built when i got it from a friend
i had to swap the chassis with one from a 69 barracuda since the 68's had parts of the inner front wheel wells cut away and the original exhaust sanded away
it was missing both bumpers and lower front valence and battery and it did not have factor stock front seats
i 3d resin printed the 440 magnum engine and transmission as well as the master cylinder/power booster and the right hand drive dash and steering wheel as well as the slotted mags and tires
the rest of the replacement parts came from my parts boxes
i painted the body rust-oleum 2x gloss berry pink
i painted the interior rust-oleum 2x flat white primer

Very nice, looks great in pink and I dare say that Rustoleum looks very close to Panther Pink/Moulin Rouge. Well done.

yeah the image to 3d model generator that I used to turn a photo of me into that 3d printable model file did not generate my glasses and this is the only figure it generated from the various different photos I tried this is the only one tat got my body(curves)proportions almost exact the other ones not so much in different ways

Cool color and cool idea to "create" yourself. Is this a program that woks off a scan of a photo? Pretty neat.

thank you
it is a free to use internet generator you just upload a single photo and it converts it to a 3d model file with some help of ai to figure out the rest of the what can't be seen in the photo i also found besides photos of yourself  you can also use screenshots stills from tv shows and movies and video games both live action and cg animated ones and 2d animated ones and create models from but it is best to also first remove the background from your own photos or live action tv show/movie screenshot stills  behind what you want to make a model of cause sometimes it generates objects like railings or doors or walls or stands or other furniture or a animal or other person  but it do not have this issue with cg and 2d animated cartoon/anime/video game screenshots stills 
also forget about trying to create grilles or tail light panels from photos of cars as it will just generate a full car  model that may or may not look like the car the grille or tail light panel pic came from from that one peices
