VW T1 '64 single Cab Racing Project

[Midnight Creep]

Hi everyone,


I want to show you my latest finished project.


I like to build one of a kind existing cars, so there are no drawings available only pictures.


This VW T1 was build by an english company called "Concept Racing".
They manufacture aluminium products like tanks and radiators and much more especially for racing cars.


They build this VW van from scratch, only the whole front of the cabine is an original VW item.
The body is made from aluminium plate and the chassis from steel square tubes.


In the back there is a flat six porsche engine.


Below a list of all items used for this car:


Porsche 911 rear arms
Ford mustang cross member
Air ride technologies – Air ride adjustable height suspension.
16” Ford Mustang front discs – aftermarket up rated.
Willwood front 4 pot alloy callipers
Porsche 911 rear vented discs with built in handbrake assembly and Porsche 911 Carrera callipers
Hydraulic clutch assembly and pedals.
Cable operated gearshift.
Roll cage including additional strength in the front panel and triangulated chassis rails under the cab.
Carbon Fibre roof
Steel framed doors with aluminium skins. Many of the body panels are also hand built aluminium. Hinged aluminium side gates. All made at Concept Racing.
9.5 X 18” Front Wheels 11 X 18: rear wheels (American Racing Torque Thrust M Alloys)
Engine: 3 litre Porsche 911 flat 6. Race spec – race camshafts, headwork and a pair of triple Weber 410DF’s, equal length headers and custom exhaust.
MSD 6-AL electronic ignition system
Gearbox – alloy Porsche 915 5 speed with limited slip diff.
Carbon fibre race seat

I used a VW T1 panel Van Kit from Revell as guidance and like the real one the only original part i used from the kit is the front.
All other items are either modified or scratched.


I build it as a cutaway so u can still see how this nice looking T1 was build for real.



The pictures are taken inside so the lighting is not that good, when it is possible i will make some outdoor pictures.




























Thx for watching,


I wish you all a happy new year and a lot of scale modelling.

Cool project. Looks like something Gotham Garage could have built...
