Not an Iso A3/C

[Dave B]

Whilst building my Interserie 917 my mate turned up with a Bizzarrini 5300GT.  It's a filament print, which I prefer while he sorts out his resin printer.  The following week he turned up with some resin printed wheels.  Just as well because I won't build a model unless I can get the wheels right, tks Phil

Anyway with a little work and a dig in my box of resin bits and pieces I have finished the wheels/tyres.  The body will take a little longer!!

It will be built as the class winning Le Mans '65 car.

Tks for looking.

This I want to watch closely

Exciting build, Dave! I have this exact 1:1 car in our garage; let me know if you need pics or dimensions...

Ok, rightly or wrongly I have inscribed the panel lines, opened a few more vents and generally started tidying the body up but there is a lot more to do.

I have also started the interior which I received last night.  It came with a standard late model dashboard but I am now able to correct to reflect the car I'm building. Tks a lot Tom.

So, no pressure then, I'll just get on with it.

Got the body close to where I want it, modified the dashboard to reflect the car I'm building and have been working on the moulds for the glass I'll need to vacform.

Bizzarini! Too cool. Anxious to see this one come together. Good looking body. Such a radical profile.

Superb subject. That body needed some TLC and you are well on your way. Well done and thanks for sharing this.

[Gramps46]

What are you going to use for the chassis?

[Rich Chernosky]

Great progress so far Dave...you got this.

Gary, it came with a flat printed chassis that I may be able to use otherwise it will be aluminium printers plate that I tend to use on all my kerbsides.

Thanks David, your plan makes sense.

[Dave B]

I've finally got the body about where I want it and thought I had finished the interior when I noticed the rear parcel shelf should be flat.

Remade that and have decided to leave it separate to enable fitting the brake ducts under the rear window.

Have vacformed the glass and should be ready to assemble shortly.

I did not think you could have done so good with the body looking at what it was at the start. You've put immense work into it and it really turned out great.

Bravo!

[Bainford]

Agreed. That body shell looks fantastic.

x 2 - excellent !

[Dave B]

Just been trial fitting the interior, rear shelf and newly vacformed rear window.

All looks good so I'll be epoxying the rear shelf in and working on the brake ducting and fuel pipe.

Tks for your comments.

Looks great, Dave - this is gonna be an awesome model when finished!

[Dave B]

Ok, I'm a happy little vegemite, I've just finished what I always thought would be the hardest part of this build.  Still lots to do but it's downhill from here.

Thanks for your encouragement guys.

Getting there.

Wonderful looking model Dave. May I suggest to add panel line to accentuate the door & hood openings and perhaps a wash on the wheels to add a bit of depth effect?

[1959scudetto]

Very NICE, Dave !!!
