360 Challenge Stradale Conversion

[360spider]

I'm bringing the old WIP thread back by numerous requests. Since the conversion was started in 2005 (almost 2 years ago!) I'm not going to re-write the process comments, I will jsut post the pictures, if you have any questions - feel free to ask and I will try to answer the best I can.

As soon as there will be more progress, I'll update the thread. Here is what I have done so far:































































































































































































































Thanks for looking!

Absolutely amazing. That paint job is gorgeous, what type of paint did you use?

[360spider]

Thanks! Its Tamiya Chrome Yellow over Camel Yellow basecoat. No clear.

Absolutely stunning! What brand of wheels are you using? I notice you have two sets of resin wheels, one of which is obviously smaller than the other. I know there are a few different brands (Renaissance, etc) available, but which ones are the larger and I assume more accurate?

Cheers,
Grant.

Alex,

As always, I'm drooling at the quality of your work!

You're back Alex!

1) I've attached the same transkit as you, and modified the lower rear bumper. BUT, how are you going to fit the chassis? I think the transkit front bumper interferes with the chassis edge. So does the rear modifications.

2) What paint did use for the brake disks (__?__ over black)?

3) Are you going to build a 550/575 or 612 soon?

I cannot count the numerous times I went to your site looking for more of this build!!! This is awesome, no questions asked!!!

Any more pics?!?!?!?

[Enzoenvy1]

Did you have a link to the progress thread somewhere else?!

I forgot how beautifully this car is coming along. I might have to resurect my 360 because of it!

The bigger ones are SAS, the smaller ones are Speedline. Both great seats of wheels, but Speedline are way too small for CS.

1) I re-worked the front bumper and rear lower chassis to fit. No problems.
2) Black, followed by MM Titanium metalizer.
3) Not anytime soon. :-)

Thanks for resurecting this thread.
What brakes are you using?
Are you using a photoetch set?
What did you glue the clear strips on the side window with?
What brand of carbon fiber are you using?
I really like the a/c vent treatment.
Thanks for sharing Alex.
