Drivable scaled Ferrari 312pb

Stunning work as always. I guess a 3/4 scale car needs a 3/4 scale driver. Do you or the neighbors have suitable kids by any chance? It's a pity that the motor doesn't lend itself to bunch of snakes GT40 style exhaust with six downdraft intakes with EFI or possibly Dellorto's. What was the original engine configuration out of idle curiosity?

I was thinking some sort of down-draft intake would add a ton of character also.. It looks great top to bottom man, nice work

I know I originally wanted to do the Valkyrie motor with Porsche down drafts but it would have been sooo expensive. Original car is a 3 liter flat twelve, so I am half of it! Here is a pic of real car intake isn't even visible so it wouldn't have been in character. I am moving the headrest from the right side to the center to cover the carbs

Not a huge update. Was on vacation last week and finished up a few things today that I started before I left. Battery box, catch bottle and coolant overflow bottle done (red hose is temporary). Peddle box in, exhaust painted white and hangers made and installed. Rubber trim on front "firewall" edge and steering done. Starting on electrical now.

Been great to watch this thing take shape, the exhaust looks good. What is that pedal-box assembly from? And what sort of tool setup did you use for cutting/forming all of your aluminum sheet?

 

[bradwsm]

Thanks all! Pedal box is a compbrake three master cylinder set up. The only thing I used for the aluminum is a angle grinder and jig saw.

Made 2 YouTube videos. No real updates just some better views. It was hard for me to do. I am not cutout for that nonsense!!!

More work on the rear clip and faux air boxes and functional rear brake ducts done. Will probably use air boxes for holding some electrical components.

After nearly a month of work rear is getting close put on some test primer to see where I'm at. Also took some pics with a good camera.

What a pain! But making progress. More decals on the way!
