While I am awaiting the finances to mould the ALPHA I have started a new build.
Stoneleigh was a good show but there was nothing "different" on offer and I do like to be "different" .
However at Stoneleigh I and many other folks noticed a nice BUGATTI type 35 in the car park (built around a VW beetle) and I just happen to have a BUGATTI body, along with a Triumph Herald based chassis and a Mk1 2lt six pot engine so I placed them all togeather to see what they look like.
First the engine was placed on the chassis as it would have to be mounted well back to fit under the narrow 35 body.
The seat was to measure the leg room needed.
.
Then the body was laid over the engine, hard against the front turrets to get the front wheels looking correct.
Then the boat tail rear was lifted into place.
Overall I am pleased with the way it's looking
But it needs a larger set of wire wheels so can anyone help
?
