I'm not a fan of languages, tbh. At school I was forced to take French and Latin....I HATED IT and paid very little attention. I have enough trouble speaking in my own tongue!! Some of it must have sunk in, I suppose!! A token of my respect, Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCrank Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It's incredible to see the ease with which PROPELLER can produce what is so difficult for many others, of which I'm one ! Beautiful work, Dan 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPELLER Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thank you very much gentlemen! To TGA, partially turned, it's a piece of brass tube, but don't say it, only the upper is closed! To Thierry, the most difficulty is to find the method. After, only patience and good machines! It's not_to my eyes_ to cheat using a lathe or a mill... It's just the better way to approach_sometimes(!)_ a better result! Dan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGA Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Are you planning on making the body panels removable so you can showcase what's under them? Or is it more of a case of you knowing the parts are there, under the skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROPELLER Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Ladies and gentlemen, another small update... The first rear side panel, dry fit: Alone, because I'm waiting for 1mm head rivets from ModelMotorcars, but it's my fault! Anyway, I have to work on the rear bonnet, this one: Enjoy your WE!

PROPELLER Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 As expected, rear bonnet... It was not a walk. But: And it works! The mechanism: Soldering in situ... Now another "mechanism". To prevent that, really awful: To obtain that: As done on my Bugatti, simple but efficient! Dan. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyb258 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 A wonderful solution, dear Dan. I may have to borrow that idea for the Fiat I love the hinge mechanism, too... it's a piece of art in it's own right. Keep up the good work, my friend, the finishing line is not too distant, now!

PROPELLER Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Thanks Harvey, you are welcome my dear... Finishing line? Oh yes, about six or eight month! Well, rear side is _almost_ OK. Some settings on the trunk are needed... Trunk enclosure. You can't see anything? Of course, it's made to! To open it, a small screwdriver... As you have seen, on the rear top, flat head rivets, and the rivets must fit flush with the surface. With rond head rivets I have to made flat head rivets too. Tedious, thanks Mr Dremel! I have to stamp before... My tool: Parts before mounting: That's all folks! Thanks for watching... Dan. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROPELLER Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Thanks Harvey! Today, first step on the rest of the body. And you will understand why I almost had to finish almost the rear side...

But I have to work on the cockpit area... before closing! You can admit it will be easier. The other side. As you can see, the edges have been doubled New leather bands, less thick Last rear pieces are coming... Future joint of the bonnet, also...
