Re: A couple F575 EVO II: Gio and Richy's new girls

I started by few surgery, I tried to achieve steering weels. After the Pirelli stratos experience I feel myself ready enough to start to mill down the precious Tecnomodel body shell

But.... I must report that my build started by another point:





I was standing wondering how house a enzo engine in the belly, calculating any single cubic inch to mill down (the kit is literally a havy brick..) when it falled down...... I was desperated but I was able to recover it perfectly...... OMG....

My goal speaking of fron wheels would be that:



So I empty the fenders to make room for the big OZs.
This time I taken it easy and used a CLK GTR steering system, with custom upper arms by copper and lower arm by reinforced plastic:









With this system I would be able not only to achieve steering wheels but also hopefully to set a bit the camber setting. The metal part you see is the kit wheel's rod, that I'll discard. Brakes are ever from same CLK GTR, with some PE improovment. Disc and calipers in this 575 kit are TBH (and gentle) horrible and trough PE, only negative point in a fantastic kit.

There are few differences between the 575 EVOII and a previous EVO: front splitter, hood's vents, rear bumper's vents. My spoiler was the kind round one of the 575 GTC, so I managed to reshape it to the correct profile:
