I'm stupid instead of finshing my other projects I had started anpther one. This time I want to build Holly Swindle's Original BAckup Pickup. I got the kit from Speed City Resin to gether with some parts and the decals from Whoopie Kat. Scott refers to use the First Gear Econoline for this model. After a few months I got the die cast in my hands and I thought no I don't want to cannibalize it. So I startto dessing my one parts for it. Floor pan, frame , Interior side panels a and pickup box panels. I had printed these parts here they are. i had not deceided if I build the 427 with a cross ram 2 carb intake like Holly used it in the first races. Or to go with the Hilborn injection.

Wow, that's cool! Your 3D printer must have a pretty large build plate to be able to fit a whole car frame. Nice!

This is very cool. It's a shame that all the work you put into these 3D print items, that would be useful to other modelers, and no way to get them to us. But, your work is paying dividends for your personal models at least. Looking forward to watching this one progress.

I had spoken to Scott if he is interested in this stuff but he said that the Econoline doesn't sell well. And the First gear diecast is bad to cannibalize it. So for me it is a kind of practice in my CAD skills and working with my printer. I'll see that can get a Flintsone Econoline to see if these parts will fit so that I could offer them.

Michael, perhaps you were in a slump, and needed something to bring you out of it ? it's looking good keep building; you have me interested !
