new sammio
4 Attachment(s)
Just wanted to update everyone on the new sammio. I had the pleasure of meeting mick yesterday who let me have a sneak preview of the new model while in the area over a cup of coffee or two and cakes!.
The new model looks great although what I saw was the buck so the finish is not ready get the style is looking very good with plenty of possible variations to make it your own. Mick had only just got the vehicle back to sort out for Stoneleigh so moulds not made yet. I think he will do well the bodylines are good and symmetrical so the body should be good from the plug and fit fairly quickly in a weekend he reckons!. |
Wow - looking beautiful

The all new Sammio is looking very pretty. The body has been successfully re sculptured but still retains that 50's racer look.
I found this video to show how old this idea is, fibreglass body onto a standard chassis to make a sports car. https://youtu.be/iZfxibef6Nw The rear end looks similar, It would be nice to think that a few of the sammios will still be around in 60 years. |
It's a pretty thing. Some 15" wheels would fill out the arches nicely. A wraparound perspex fly screen would look good, too.

Spent some time on the buck today.
Made and fitted a pattern for a fly screen and got the bonnet to shut better. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5fklowrj.jpg Reworked the front area as the original made the front look to much like a "Datsun 240Z" and a beer crate grill wouldn't fit either. :blah: . http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psqo0w3hsw.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psw6ujdty0.jpg Still working on the back lights but in true Sammio fashion there are a few options, the tape is just to help line things up and not just to show how straight and even the rear end is :lie: :lie:. There's these lights, http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psogwhb7s3.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psmxg4r1qk.jpg Or these lights, http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psrgls95x7.jpg http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2rula6q3.jpg Haven't tried the standard round mini lights yet.:icon_smile: Still hoping to get a good coat of 2-pack glossy paint on it but undecided over the colour as red needs a few coats and we will not have time if were going to make Stoneleigh. We still have some of the baby blue we painted the Gulf racer in so that might be a nice period colour. :eusa_doh: |
Micky1Mo - That last photo, with the lights inboard, really makes the rear arches stand out. :cool:
At this point, I'm not so sure about the changes to the nose, but know having it all in one colour will makes a big difference. I am a big fan of the baby blue colour and actually think it would help the car stand out at Stoneleigh. Good luck, Paul. :) |

I think that you have a winner with the original front.

Spent some time on the car today.
Still awaiting the Perspex for the windscreen but fitted the bonnet bits and pieces. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psrkgdgdxv.jpg Covered headlights. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psf30cf4ld.jpg After much trial and error I ended up with these lights and will try to find a chrome reversing/number plate combination light. http://i1329.photobucket.com/albums/...psyqryiil6.jpg To late to do a paint job for Stoneleigh so the red will have to do :mmph: |
