I can't wait for more photo's ( of the car ). Where did you get your hammer from was it Ebay?. Thanks . UFO17.

The Lady in purple is the daughter of a friend of mine, it was her dream being brought to the graduation ball with the Countach! ;-)
Yes, the hammer I got from ebay, 100€ plus shipping, the english wheel cost a bit more, around 550€. But it is definitely worth it.

I was looking for a technical drawing like this one for weeks and did not find any, I gotta buy this one! It is A3, big enough to get all the measurements I need!
Since now I was only working with photos!
Thanks very much Ross!

book on Dino 206s
Hi, there is also this expensive and rare French book on the Dino 206S. It has drawings - in fact I think the inside of the cover is made of blueprints.

cheers

Some updates:
I finished the bonnet and put it on the car again, and this really looks like a step forward:

Then I started working at the lower rear panel with the 29 slots, I wheeled two pieces of sheet metal to threedimensional curvature and welded them together, and started to cut out the slots...what a pain in the a...!
but at the end I felt it was worth the work:
I was afraid that the panel will loose its stiffness with cutting that many slots in it, but amazingly it remained stiff, I guess due to the threedimensional curvature I gave it before!

After that I was working at the panels for the taillights:
I cut two pieces of wood with identical circular holes in them, and put the metal between them like a sandwich.
And than I was hammering by hand inside the circular top hole to give the metal a deflection for the integration of taillights and I was surprised it was really working out!
looks good outside:
