Thanks Jeff!

This is great news! Very happy it made it to your home safe and sound. I was so nervous.

The Willys as started it's 2640 miles journey across both our countries.

I'm very happy that this first 1/6 will have a new home with Ms Az, Cindy and you!

5JeepsAz, I've sent you a private message. Shipping is crazy expensive between Quebec and Arizona.

Ok I'm not going to ship in until Monday, so we may wait for our knowledgeable friends to chime in. I can also send you all of the plates and you can decide in person what you prefer and glue it...

Thanks bmorgil, the font is well fitting. It's called "Black OPS one"

Silly me, when you said rear bumper, all I could see are the round shape. So I tried to fit something in there.

Only this morning did I realize you probably meant the center space. So...

I tried on the back bumper, but it won't work. Not enough to put all the letters even with the short date format. Front it will be.

Ok will check how I can do it. The back bumper not being flat.

Thanks Az, how about this for a signature?

I would glue it on the Bumper, not with tape. This is just a mockup.

Almost done!

I did not realize it was built using computers. Probably more details on the episode itself.



I think your rules are spot on. Don't see what to add.

Been working on documentation and...

Thanks Larry, you really made me laugh!

Still can't believe how much I've done and learned.




That is a big bug.

The last couple of days were spent solidifying the parts. After 1 minute in the snow I broke the output shaft and a...

I needed to do some changes to the the frame to accommodate the shorter leaf spring.

Now I will tackle the complex front...

Thanks bmorgil, I will keep this in mind. So if I understand well, if my actual setup (pinion 10T, Drive 20T) is too fragile, I could make it tougher by increasing the Pinion number of teeth? For...

I agree, they will break. Nothing can be done about that but to buy all metal axles and transfer case. I don't know why but there seems to be a lot of enthusiast that still don't mind reprinting...

For me it was the biggest hurdle. Designing bevel gear is way beyond my understanding. I was stuck on this part for two weeks with no solution in sight. I'm very happy to have found a program that...

I had a hard time to design the bevel gear for the rear axle. Gears are way more complicated than I anticipated. Fortunately for me, someone developed an add-on program for my CAD that designs Bevel...

If I could only print one at full scale!

Here's the completed gearbox

Thanks bmorgil, it does look great in chrome.



The main problem is toughness and heat resistance. There is some material that are most suited for this.

Here's a table of different material...

Hopefully she'll be home soon!

Worked on the gearbox housing. Will print and test in the next couple of days.
