Thanks Hannes, I agree…
After rear seats, fronts. Basis? Pocher parts…
Settings in situ:
My goal…
My solution? Molded leather!
Two sides, of course…

Hannes, I know that. But I'm talking about that kind of rear lights (pics below).
We are far away of plexiglass! First time, plexiglass was only transparent. Colored began few years later, as to my knowledge...

To Thierry, I'm sorry but I don't agree... Remember, we are in the 1930'! No plastic parts of course!
For the rear lights transparent material was called in french "Mica". Front lights, molded glass...
And mine, to my own eyes are too flashy:

Thanks gentlemen!
I hate paint and painters! Paint hate me too:
Before committing suicide, I took care of the dashboard...
Tail lights are coming too...

You are welcome parryj! And thank you too...Well, all is coming nicely.
During the paint drying, I intend to modify the wheels. Too fat of course!
Some millimeters that change a truck wheel to a Bugatti wheel!
On the right, modified!
Pocher's one:
After some surgery, on the lathe, of course!
To the Bugatti's builders...

Thanks gentlemen!
So that you understand what will follow, you must know my definitive choicein the Bugatti models jungle, even for such a specific model than the T46 "surprofile".Here it is, vintage color photo please:
Wire wheels?, no, the same with alloy wheels...
For history buffs, this version is currently in Mulhouse ... in blue!Surgery...
I'm not too far:

The easier way...

Good luck Roy!
But you know my opinion about swirls... And for me this engine, a pure piece of art, without swirls is more pure.
Dan. -
It's not an attempt!
I do love the result... -
WOW! Really very impressive...
Congrats!
Dan.

Idle, but...
Some piece for fender and headlight:
All is dry-fitted, of course...
