Man! It came out looking great Dimitri! Always a Masterpiece! They are always just so nice - I don't know if I'd race it or display it only. But with being the source of painting and creating these cars, I'm sure if any paint gets chipped off, you can fix it easily.

GREAT work as always and thank you so much for sharing!

thank you a lot :thumbsup:

if I don't race it...why i' d put it on a motorized chassis ? :dude: But...I 'll not give it to try to non experienced drivers, for sure ;)

True. There are no cars in my collection that have never seen the track - all of them have been run. Since there is no HO racing in the Houston, Texas area, none of them have ever been raced. Just hot laps around the track.

I'd race it...but carefully. ;)

Exactly ! I'll try to make my track the most secure I can, I think (real rubber tires walls, etc...) to avoid to destroy my precious resin cars ;)

Hi,

today I glued the mouting posts, and modified a brass pan to fit the car nicely :

I tuned the chassis too (polishing the gears, etc...) , and mounted tuffone silicon tires on rear, RRR silicon tires on front.

it runs really great, I'll make videos ;)


to be continued...

demether,

WOW! This is so Sweet! I need to make sure Greg Gipe sees this as he will be blown away with all the incredible detail and craftsmanship you put into this car.

Bob...Nice French on the bench build and Photos...zilla

thanks!

I 'm pretty sure Greg had seen this model. BTW, I ordered 2 more Greg's casts (alfa romeo tz2 and cunningham c4rk) too ;)

Beautiful 250!

Great thread all the way through! What a nice build! I hope you keep on building and posting 1960's endurance racers - the final product is just so nice, I can only imagine how great a whole field would look!

Man, I can almost hear that 4 cylinder turbo firing up right now!

:thumbsup:

Huh? Try a V-12...with a six pack of twin websters.

:lol:


thank you all ! today I'll finish it, and make a video :)

Hi,

the car is alive, and made its first laps.

So, technicaly, it's a stock JL car, with polished gears and brushes, the only after market parts are a brass pan and a long guide pin.

On the video, the car is running under 14volt, witht the difficulty to drive a car seeing it in the camera screen of course :p

Tommorow evening, I'll make last little things (finely balancing the mounting posts for example), but the car is finished and ready to race !


The next tjet I'll do : Corvette GS ! and as soon as I'll receive the new greg's bodies I ordered, I'll make 2 other cars.

Outstanding, beautiful car!

WOW!...........Seeing the build in progress really makes a difference too! Great looking car & great build. :thumbsup:

Awesome finish to a fantastic project Dimitri! Looks great and runs wonderful! Congrats on another successful build!

Corvette GS, eh? Like the last one you did? Man I love those cars!

PD2:thumbsup:

thank you ! I' m happy because the car is running great too ;)


edit : the corvette GS is a JL one. Really good looking (some JL cars are really great shaped...), especially with the RRR wheels :

I'll make the same tuning on it (rear silicone tuffone, front RRR silicon, brasspan, long guide) and on the esthetic side, I'll just make some weathering and decals, to match the real thing.


bye
