My 1/18th scale model has arrived and I'll prep it for the scan tomorrow! Tuesday I'm meeting with my design team to scan the model. Man, I sound all classy n' sh$t! I mean, haven't you always wanted to say you have your own design team? I mean....a DESIGN TEAM MAAAAN!! "Hey Dave, we're all headed to Smilin' Pete's for a beer, you wanna come with?" "Gee fellas, I can't make it. I have to meet with my design team today at twelve hundred hours." Yep......so freakin' fetch!

Anywho, the model will be disassembled so it's just the body shell with windshield remain. I'll blast it to remove paint then prime. That antiglare flat primer is the best for 3D scanning. There's no light interference, from my understanding. The beauty of the 3D scanning is the two other parts of the car I need will be the dash and the windshield frame. Those can be done separately and be made from their own files.

Pics and an update Tuesday! Thank you for following along down this crazy build road!! If anything,
I promise it'll be entertaining with results that may surpass the Homer Simpson mobile!

Cheers
Dave

Really interesting Dave. So, the model you're using for the 3D printing is an exact, exact replica of the original? I'm just curious as this is a really interesting process to me.

Correct, Mark. I also have copies of the original blueprints of the car (engineering drawings) that have dimensions, accurate curvature, angles, etc. Before final execution of the forms and after the scanning of the model, the dimensions will be verified against the blueprints and adjusted accordingly. This should yield a perfect match.

Now, these cars were all hand built so there are variances between cars. Take the hardtops that some were equipped with. Each one was unique to that car and wouldn't fit another since there would be minor variations in body panels where the tops mount on the body.

That's another reason for the full sized mockup. I can then compare to the real thing and sign off on the final design before I move it to production. See?! Not only do I have a design team, I also have a preproduction inspector and a production staff!

Yes, Vintage Coachworks, a division of Restorations by SuperDave, a corporation of DaveCo, is in its infancy!!

Cheers
Dave

Dave:

I really need to come down and see you when you get going on this. My next BIG project is going to involve some mini bucks (long story) and don't want to hijack the thread).

Sending you a PM.

BTW the following quote: "I have to meet with my design team today at twelve hundred hours."

Really cool if you are talking about a car. Super sucky if you are talking about the downstairs powder room.

Oh yeah, Mike. I'll start another thread for the model teardown! Just kidding. But I will be showing the whole process start to finish, so don't you worry! I'll show the model prep and hopefully I'll be there for the scan or at least get photos.

Definitely come down, Lynn! We'll chat next year!

Cheers
Dave

This has to be the fastest I've ever disassembled a car!

I'm overly impressed with this model as far as accuracy and details. So now that its torn down, time to get it primed. The best part is the 3D scanning guy can make a CAD file for the dash along with the ever important windshield frame to ensure correct dimensions.

Cheers
Dave

A quick scuff with some Scotchbrite and a light dusting of 4:1:1 primer/ sealer, and we're ready to meet with the 3D scanning guy tomorrow! More to come....

Cheers
Dave
