Attempting to build a 1965 Opel Diplomat, so far the engine is all thats been completed, its a Fullbore models 3D print of a 327 Chev and powerglide, had to change the position of the alternator and added an aircleaner from my parts box

OK, looking forward to see more pics of this build. Will the kit itself be 3D print as well or fully scratchbuilt?

The engine is looking real good. That's the best looking "Powerglide" I've seen in scale.
Looking forward to your progress.

Nice colour.
It's a bit of on esoteric subject, but it's looking good.
I grew up in Holland. I remember my grandfather had an Opel.
