He made the wheels...I assumed they were off the shelf items, good grief

Forget car design you should do professional engineering modeling, have you seen how much they cost? Easily start up your own company.

ZOMG! Only now discovered this project!
This thread makes me wish that Gaz were a woman. And I weren't married. Damn it, Gaz, I would SO ask you out for a date!

akumabito, I do have man boobs, and a girlfriend. Thanks anyway.

I got the body fitted to the chassis today, so no need for the wooden blocks under it.

I finished under the bonnet. i would like to do more detailing but i'm a bit short of time.

I got the radiator build today. Rescued attachment 16.jpg

More impressive work Gaz. I too assumed that the wheels were off-the-shelf, not moulded by your fair hand.

You're going to need to place your car behind some plexi-glass at the exhibition. There'll be spunk flying everywhere at this rate.


PS I sent you a U2U with number on a while back, did you get it?

Better on glass than in the cone! Ewww.

Its looking really good Gaz. I'm still following it with interest. I agree with the above... ever considered modelling for a career?? (cue jokes!)

almost as in can't see anything wrong in the pic what's he on about?...

I would take the model to a bike paintshop to get sprayed as they'll do a really nice job, think fuel tanks.

I will paint it myself. I'm a bit out of practice but i used to work in a spray shop. The only problem that i might have is that the spray booth at uni is next to the band saw and all the sanding gear. You are normally just about finished when someone cuts some wood and the extractor sucks it on the model.

I will have to do it bloody early or silly late.

Thanks, Gaz

Just a quick catch up.

perspex front and rear light covers sorted.

I was always concerned about the rear of the car, now it think it is better then the front.

I will post some pic tomorow.

Interior now painted, with a bit of luck the body will be painted tues/wed so its dry for Stoneleigh.

I haven't commented so far, although I have been watching with interest, and while I am sure I will be doubly impressed when the paint is done, I have to say that it is absolutely stunning so far

Keep up the good work and I hope it gets the interest it deserves at the show.

Cheers

Alex
