Lancia 037 with a big difference

Hello
Small update.
I have been working on the gearbox still .
I made the fixing points.
Started with a template so I could get the fixings in the right place.

Been a bit slow because of the holidays.
Still on the gearbox.
Made the fixing points.

Also making the drive shafts.
Made a joint so I have some movement.

Got to paint parts of it yet, but this is how it will look.

Darren

That is the modelling spirit I need, absolutely fantastic work.
Happy New Year to you to and please don't stop with the work, I realy enjoy it.

This is awesome. what did you use for the inner CV boot on the axle?

This is awesome. what did you use for the inner CV boot on the axle?

Hello
The large tube is 8mm.
Drill a 1.2mm hole all the way through and also through the ali drive shaft.
Then with a 1.2mm plastic rod push it through the hole put 2X 2.4mm cut bits of tube as spaces next to the drive shaft.Push the rod right through to the other side.
When all is ok glue the rod and cut off.
The boot is from an RC car , I got them on Ebay.

I hope that helps.

Up todate with both shafts.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/gearbox17.jpg

Been working on the shocks.
The rod can move so they can be adjusted.
I have also found out the not everything scales down ok.
The metel rod has a 2mm thread but a 2mm nut would look to big.
So the nut is a 1.6mm with the hole made bigger, I think it looks better.

Still working on the rear suspension.
It has taken a long time to build the rear hub.
I could not find the right size tube so ended up using 15mm copper plumbing pipe.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/gearbox18.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/gearbox19.jpg

still some clean up to do.

Also built the main rear suspension.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/gearbox20.jpg

Still lots to do.

Im slack jawed, seriously.........You have incredible skill!

too nice details.I like a lot to see the way u build up from 0 such parts. ;)

This is amazing! I look at the details of the suspension and I think I see it in 1:1 scale !

Thanks for the good comments.
Still on the back some cleaning up to do but I think it is going well.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/susp3.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/susp5.jpg

all the suspension can move so when it is all together I can get it to sit right.

Simply incredible, I have no words...
:eek2: :eek2:

Very cool work!

I agree with what JayKay said! Very cool indeed. Those rear hubs look ridiculously complicated - are the originals a casting or a fabrication? Either way, yours are looking really good. Once the engine's in the back too, it's going to be something else!

All the best,

SB

Aagain thanks for the comments.

SB
The hubs were cast.
So I get the other side right I'm going to try my hand at casting, should be fun.

Still having fun.

Still on the suspension.
I could not find the right thing to bend the rod round, ended up using a 5p.
It was just the right size needed.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/susp6.jpg

Not done things like this before so making it up as I go along.

Rod bent and in place.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/susp7.jpg

Still having fun.

Simply amazing what you do with your lancia.

Wow!

Thanks for the comments.
Bit more on the suspension.
Spring in place, just to make sure all ok. :grinyes:
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/susp8.jpg

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/susp9.jpg

Been trying to casted some parts, 1st time.
All was ok but I was not happy with the end product.
I was wasting modelling time trying to get it right so I will have another go later.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/susp10.jpg
moulds were ok but the resin did not get all the detail.
If I have to spend time working on them to get them right I might as well make them.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a210/puffyrs/susp11.jpg

still having fun

I simply love the use of Mega Blocks as a mould, as well as the Aldi advertising. Lol
This build is a pleasure to watch come together, keep up the great work.

Got a bit more completed.
May get some more done tonight.

I had to get a couple of shots underneath:

http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/ScratchBuilt917/puffy03.jpg

Not sure if these will actually help at all, but they might be of interest! The things we do to research our modelling...

SB

I was at the show too yesterday, and after talking to the owner of the Citroen Visa Trophee that wasn't allowed to run, certain modifications have to be made to the cars to allow them to be used nowadays.
Just a heads up that the rollcage, fire extinguisher system, seats and belts, plus a few other things may not be acurate.

Keep up the work on the model, still awesome to follow.

Hi SB
I was there as well.
We may have even walked by each other.
Thanks for the photos.
I always like a good photo.

I saw the 908 which was there to.
Your model was very good with great details when you see the real thing.

We are lucky in the UK with all these great shows.

Rear shocks in place.
Pleased how they look.
Still lots to do.

I look at photos and drawings for a long time but it is not until you put it together you know if you have it right.
All part of learning.

Exquisite!

Beautiful, and very inspiring scratch-building. You ans scratch-built should get together and build a masterpiece!

Thanks, but i'm a long way behind SB skills

Been doing other things back now to a little modelling.
Built the oil pump and filter and supercharger bracket + started on the supercharger.

Superb. Partly because of the wonderful subject matter, but in particular the brilliant fabrication skills. Always look forward to seeing the next update.

+1. those are build up of dream models..

Its amazing what can be found on the internet. The engine is starting to look great, can't wait for more progress. Good luck.

hope this help.

That isn't an 037 - with a front differential it is four-wheel-drive, 037 is only rear-wheel-drive. Unless this guy is chopping up one of these classics on purpose...

Thanks for the photos.
Does look like someone is making a 4WD 037.

OK, can anyone tell me what that huge cylindrical aluminium extrusion in the first photo is? I'm guessing it's just for working out tunnel clearance?!

Your engine looks ace, Puffrys! :smokin:

sorry for the intrusion, but is a recent news that Beppe Volta, in collaboration with Ing. Claudio Lombardi, has prepared a 037 with traction also on the front wheels via an electric motor.A sort of 037 "hybrid".
The project is called "037 4x4 H",if I,'m not wrong...
The car will make its debut this weekend in the Rally Legend, in the Republic of San Marino.

Martin,your work is awesome!!!

bye
Sandro

Thanks for the photos.

yes, that's the new hybrid 4wd prototype in progress by volta.
Of course the meaning was only to show the tube frames and the naked chassis details.Original 037 was only RWD, yep.... ;)
And here u can find maybe some more useful Pics:

Still on the engine.
Been making the wheels for the drive belt.
Every one has to be made.
I start with a tube to the right size.
Then put the belt round it and push 0.5 rod through the teth of the belt.
It takes a while but the gaps are correct.

I'm still so much impressed by your work, incredible even if scale helps for getting visible details it mostly implies to make them !!
what a work, you're in for years !! :lol:
