Update on Scratch built Bugatti Type 35
This a continuation of this thread, Bugatti Type 35 scratch build

Been a while but the body is really taking shape. The goal is to get it done for the Vintage Races at Lime Rock this year.



Today he got the louvers cut into the hood and tail.



Spare tire mounted



Boat tail is formed but not totally finished yet.







All panel are hand formed, but jigs have be made to replicate everything. If anyone is interested in any parts your see here, PM me. I hope to building one of these car as my next project.

Pat

Not my sort of thing but I definitely can appreciate the craftsmanship. Looks sweet.

Is it gonna have that body wire stuff where 1 wire holds the whole body on?

Thanks for the update Pat, I was wondering how Dan was making out. Really a work of art, can't wait to see it in person again.
