Ferrari Monza 360 Prototype

[Scale-Master]

This started out as a one piece Resilient Resins body.
I cut out the hood and wheel wells and gave the body a good going over clean up including rescribing the panel lines. Also cut out and made new side vent panels.
Headlight and taillight housings were made of brass and the lenses are from the parts bin.
The engine is from a Ferrari 360 Modena, wired and modified for this application. The transaxle was replaced with a transmission and rear driveline.
The basic interior and chassis are mostly scratchbuilt and supplemented with parts bin parts modified to fit (like the seat, steering wheel, control arms, exhaust system and part of the subframe). It does have a full dash, pedals, etc, but it's too dark for my camera to capture.
The wheels are Tamiya wires. The camber in the rear suspension is intentional.
I machined the mirror in aluminum.
Testors Italian Red for the color. Decals from leftovers. Even has a Prancing horse in the mesh grille...

I have to say that this build make me to think. It seems me unsacre a modena's engine on a 4 cylinder vintage car, so I guess should be unsacre all the mess we done around the seven and other stuff. I try, but at last I can't understand LOL: my limit too rigid with stuff I love.

The job is wonderful, I just hate those (jag?) rims but the body shell finishing is just superb.
