Hi guys,
Here's a few photos that I received from Chris in respect to progress to the buck. (End of last week) Hoping for some more expansive views of the car soon! I am liking how it is forming up though, think it will turn out very well. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4699/...8328c26d_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4764/...bcdafb61_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4760/...5528ed9c_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4758/...398227f1_z.jpg |
Buck is moving on nicely......
Hi guys,
Heres the latest in the Italia 275 project. Buck is well underway now, working on final sanding/filling and sealing of the shape and then onwards towards splash moulds and panels. You can see still a little work around the windows but the overall shape and how the Z3 window will look in the shape is there. I think the wheels that I have currently (18") should fit well in the space at least whilst I am building it/developing it - it should muscle the car up a bit which will then give me a decision between that look and the preferred vintage look. Still have touches such as rear quarter recessed filler, frenched in lights etc to work through which will really set the car off. Bumpers as well as the sill fitted will certainly help. Liking how it is forming up now. Will be talking to Chris now on all the final bits and pieces to mould and final panels and how it all comes together to take a trip over the seas! Barber can now see his roof line that will match up with the 250 SWB rear. Cheers! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4785/...ebba571b_z.jpgbuck3 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4785/...f4104415_z.jpgbuck2 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/801/4...887d8010_z.jpgbuck1 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr |
Mark,
That is shaping up nicely. How long before it is ready for moulds, a couple of weeks? Shipped in April? What colour are you going to plump for as final finish? It looks like it would be amazing in black, especially if you go for the muscle car look. |
Looking good but not keen on the doorstep approach to the side window area, it looks as if it has been fitted with the wrong glass. Personally, I would like to see it blended in so it is not so obvious.

Final colour is going to be dark metallic grey. Love the vintage grey look and potentially going to have an offset silver racing stripe down the length over the roof. That is only potential at this point. Still planning the vintage/wires or Dunlop racing look wheels, but once the kit is on who knows, I may just like the muscle look. Cheers. |

If none of that works it can always be filled later on. What we wanted to make sure we had were options, I don’t think we can make a call on that until we see the panels completed and the car in full colour so things don’t clash as much. Cheers tho! |

Into the final stages
Hi guys, a few pictures paint a thousand words so below is where we are at.
Buck is finished (sealed and primed yesterday) and is undergoing moulds being made this week. Next week is planned for panels being manufactured along with the ancillary bits I am having done and the following week packing/crating and ready to ship. Great to be at this point! A nice bit of work has been completed on the buck which means the panels/roof crown is looking sharp, transitions and body lines/panels lines look good and stock window seal carriers are able to be fitted which mean standard windows all the way. More pics will be coming soon! https://farm1.staticflickr.com/790/2...d86eea95_z.jpgfinal buck roofline by Mark Blyth, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/797/2...a6b19bf6_z.jpgfinal buck bootlid by Mark Blyth, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/798/4...09dbf657_z.jpgIMG_1988 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/901/2...3d44b089_z.jpgIMG_2004 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/894/4...83eb611c_z.jpgIMG_2002 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/898/4...d5deecb6_z.jpgIMG_2001 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr |
Yahoo! Great progress. Clear the space and get your plans clear.

Good to see another Tribute creation coming along.
This place is missing the development threads. That said I’m loving Lucky@LeMans’ ally body creation Dave |
Thanks Barber/Dave P.
More photos of the last few days progress. Yahoo indeed! https://farm1.staticflickr.com/803/4...3b3290fc_z.jpgIMG_2022 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/881/4...e695c9ea_z.jpgIMG_2029 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/811/4...79f57188_z.jpgIMG_2027 by Mark Blyth, on Flickr |

The 250 Testarossa body came along at just the right time so I snapped it up. I'm quite well into the build now and hope to be on the road in the summer. |
