Thanks Mark, awaiting the next post...

Unfortunately, I do not have accurate references for the fuel tank ... I am only sure of the fuel shut off valve: (Yellow arrow) Regards, Dan.

Congrats Mark! May I have the LOA of the beast, thanks, Dan.

Thanks Roy for your kind words... Nothing will be visible unfortunately, but I know it's there, and you too... Dan.

Well, today, for the fun and the moral, dry fit one more a time... But however, drive shaft, starter and dynamo and gearbox linkage are now there... The leather link between drive shaft and the gearbox. The lathe, multi purpose tool... Turning on leather: Dan.

Thanks Codger, I will try that... But for the moment, I bought some Alclad chrome!

Thank you very much CC, I remember that!

Thanks gentlemen! To Codger, Alclad chrome, no plating...

Wow! I'm stunned... In this scale it's a real challenge,and here reached brilliantly. Feel free to ask me some reference pics... Dan.

Congratulations Thierry, but I can't see any Bugatti...

The engine is coming, slowly but_I hope_ surely... Dan.

Thanks gentlemen!Well, small parts again, for Roy of course, but a big one after... The big one not finished, inlet pipe, in situ: How to? For the smaller part a night long in the freezer, the big one heated before the assembly... Same game for the small part of the big one! Exhaust line is also ready... Thanks for looking, Dan.

Wow! What kind words, thank you very much gentlemen, much appreciated... Well, for the moment, bodywork it's enough for me. "Changement de pré réjouis les veaux" In french. May be in english: "Change of meadow pleases calves"... Come back to mechanic, engine! I do love this one... Some aluminum blocks, let's go: Big one for the main part, note I use the crankcase of Pocher... Now holes, many holes. For this kind of game(!), the ultimate weapon, a DRO! First piece of the exhaust... The other side, holes again, and tiny pieces: Exhaust again, part of Pocher's pieces, re-looked by me of course... Thanks for looking! Dan.

D'ont worry Poul, thanks... All is_for the time being at least_ under control! Nothing done, just a paint layer? Nothing visible in fact! Can be the frames of the rear windows ... Or the floor... Varnish inside... The real challenge was: Dan.

Hi Wayne! About the chassis, the best way for me: Dan.

Who said "another world with a lathe?" But you forgot the center hole! Good job anyway... Dan.

Thank you very much gentlemen! Today, same player shoot again... Side windows: Nothing to see? Be patient. More clear now: Woodwork too... Of course closed without difficulty is better... Dan.

WOW! Thanks Randy, but the 1/24 is also another thing! A bigger one...

Von Trips? Please let me know...

Welcome to the 1/8 scale manufacturers club! Wise decision... Still there is the delicate problem of tires, good luck! Dan.

Thank you very much Tourpretendent! Inside again... The real life: What a windscreen, you will understand... Now! Rear portholes: Milling machine, always, on mahogany... I have to show you my "hight tech" tools: Structure of windscreen, method and result. Dan.

Perfect mounting, perfect paint job, great attention on details, what a model! Congratulations again...

Correct Poul... In the real life and on my model too in fine, the doors are very heavy!

Good news indeed! One tool, one function, it's a rule...

Thanks Roy! Still not fixed, many things are coming inside... Dan.
