Re: Ferrari F-40 "Beurlys" spider, scale 1/8
I was able to put in a lot of work on this project. So here's an update.
A aluminium sheet (2 mm) was used to reinforce the plastic Pocher frame :   Started building the "boxes" that are part of the chassis :              Last edited by Pascal D; 11-23-2011 at 07:56 PM. |

Re: Ferrari F-40 "Beurlys" spider, scale 1/8
Thanks guys
 The "boxes" were not big enough, so I added a 2mm plastic strip :   The front has some difficult angles :   The 2 triangles have been joined with some Lego and a piece of aluminium sheet :   The triangles have to be strong, because they will carry the weight of the front bonnet :  I used a piece of brass square rod, and shaped it like the real ones :   The square rod gave me an idea. How about using it to make the latches on the bonnet ? Like this :     Fits perfectly ! :    Last edited by Pascal D; 11-23-2011 at 07:46 PM. |

Re: Ferrari F-40 "Beurlys" spider, scale 1/8
 The new radiator will be made from plexiglass. The cooling pipes are attached to the triangles on both sides of the radiator. First I made these from plexiglas and covered them with aluminium sheet :  Yours sincerely Pascal Last edited by Pascal D; 11-23-2011 at 07:40 PM. |

Re: Ferrari F-40 "Beurlys" spider, scale 1/8
I wanted to make the radiator from aluminium sheet, here's some pics of the progress :
     The fan was a lot of work :        Progress is very slow, but it's going in the right direction. Last edited by Pascal D; 11-23-2011 at 07:32 PM. |

Re: Ferrari F-40 "Beurlys" spider, scale 1/8
I made the frame for the fan from brass sheet :
    The frame that holds the fan has raised edges :  To simulate this, used copper wire :   It took me a couple of hours, but it looks good :  The radiator has a coolant pipe on each side. I made these from 2 pieces of brass tubing soldered together :      Yours sincerely Pascal Last edited by Pascal D; 11-23-2011 at 07:34 PM. |
