  1. Thanks larchiefeng, but what do you mean by "underslung chassis", I'm curious too... Today, gearbox. I had to spend some time and work on, very visible indeed: Not so bad... In parts: Milling machine, lathe... Dan.
  2. On wheels! Some question on the "dixie"? Pushing maybe? On the lathe... Dan.
  3. Do you want my idea? You have plenty of time to think about upholstery! Joke! Bad one? I'm sorry again... Dan.
  4. Great job Harvey! But it would be easier with brass and better with coper... Once painted, it's the same thing! Dan.
  5. Thanks Harvey! Today, for the moral and fun: First wheel for test, now go ahead! Dan.
  6. Fine looking indeed! But, bad news, wheels seems now very poor on this beautiful body. Just a personal thought, I'm sorry... Dan.
  7. Thanks sharknose... Welcome in the nightmare! And now, you can understand the reason why of big holes in the rims. Another mix P/P*... The last row is coming. Only 4 or 5 hours per wheel... Dan. P/P: Pocher/Propeller. Nipples are Pocher's parts...
  8. It's an endless job Thierry, I know that! Good luck and have fun, it's to my eyes the more important thing... Dan.
  9. Thanks gentlemen for your kind words... Much appreciated! Dan.
  10. Thanks Roy, much appreciated... Here, in the middle, a very nice piece. Well, do you like the cross member? Dan.
  11. Wow! I'm waiting for that! Another daredevil, I love... Dan.
  12. You are welcome Harvey! While waiting for 0,7mm brass rods (Spokes), some tiny pieces for the brakes... The goal: And mine: Dan.
  13. Thank you very much gentlemen! To Harvey, this sort of direct dividing head is very useful for scratch building... And very easy to use. Sometimes you can find it on Ebay, around €100. Dan.
  14. Well, today rims, spokes and so one... First, rims. PVC fitting for plumbers! Some holes required. Only 624 in total. Big holes? Yes, you will understand in a future post. Small ones too: And of course, a jig! What is this? A spoke trap! For fun before nightmare... Dan.
  15. Thanks Roy! About the blue_ same color (glacier blue, RAL 5024) used on the chassis of the Talbot, why?_ unfortunately the flash give a too strong blue... In fact, it's in reality very close to the original one: Another enigma, for me... Thanks for looking! Dan.
  16. We enjoy Harvey! Outstanding job on those small pieces... Beautiful looking! Congrats, Dan.
  17. To my eyes, you used the better solution... Flexibility of retouching, while keeping the structural rigidity. I don't see a better one! Dan.
  18. Thank you very much CC, now I know... And you are also right for details, except the two grease nipple. Thanks again! Dan.
  19. Realistic indeed! Congrats! Dan.
  20. "Devil is in details..." (Unknown) Find them! Dan.
  21. After esthetic surgery, engineering too... It's a pleasure to follow your work sir. Congratulations, Dan.
  22. Well, today leaf springs... And mounted, in fact the axles are completed! How to? Brass strips (0,8mm x 6mm) and a jig... Riveted in the center, unfortunately without pic.
