A chassis where the elements are suspended below the axles. Such as this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy vd M. Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Dan it's a great joy to watch your model come to shape. I think you mentioned it somewhere in your Talbot-Lago thread, but what kind of wood do you like to use for these purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROPELLER Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 Merry Christmas ladies and gentlemen! To Roy, in the real life ash tree is used. Here, plywood! And no wood on the Talbot, it's for the Bugatti, were I used oak and red wood, sorry... First today, steering gearbox: And on the body now, the real car: And mine... Come back now to the engine. Do you remember, exhausts pipes are ready, lets go! It's easier with a jig: Strange pipes? Yes indeed... Dan 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Documenting work such as this is vital as an extension of the accomplishment. I see my Rolls daily in its case but frequently go into my photo records to enjoy what is now unseen and inaccessible. Brings back the joy immediately. I often think, ' I did that???" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, today plumbing, the real car: You can see some work is needed on this side! And on the top, the beginning of the head cover. Note it's a valveless engine, a Knight patent. Dan.
