Thanks!

[MrIcka]

beautiful work man   . . . i'd like to know more about your roof lining please...are there more pictures of how you finished it off?

Hi thanks man!

I first made a template out of paper, used magnets to stick it to the roof and draw a line around.


I cut out following the line and then transfered it to a thin foam rubber.
I then glued the foam to the fabric I bought.


Next, glue the roof to the car. I used spray contact glue on the fabric and foam and brushed contact glue to the roof of the car. With some help from a friend I mamaged to get it in place! Made it about a inch to big so I could stick in the edge under the edge on the car.


Nice to finaly get rid of the spaceship roof

A friend bought a 3D printer so I made a new larger BRM for my keychain


The 3D model of the BRM I created my self in Inventor some time ago for my 67 modelbuild.



I need to finish this project....

[MrIcka]

I "needed" a way to keep the engine lid open, and the one to buy was to expensive here in Sweden, about 60$.

So I bought 1m stainless steel rod for 10$ and after making a templet i started bending it.


Fitted some protectiv textile tape


Done!


But now the enginebay needed some attention, to be continued...

Nice to see an update on this side of the fence 

[MrIcka]

Time to make some changes in the engine  bay. I have had a par of Italian Weber 40 IDF laying for some years and now it was time to change out the China IDF on the car.


What a mess!



After a a thorough cleaning they turned ut nice



Time to assemble

[MrIcka]

The rattle can painted engine tin was not a pretty sight. Fixed some holes and dents


I painted it one of the colors I had in mind before I went with the Porsche Linen Grey on the Car.
It's Porsche 6808 Burgundy Red


It matched the color on the interior quite good 


Gave the lid for the breather box a touch up


Turned out quite nice (I have now changed the bolts to allen bolts and nice aluminium washers)

[Steve67]

those colours match really well, awesome car!

Very rarely am I a fan of any color for tin other than black but the deep red to match the interior of a white car is a fantastic combo, that looks amazing!
