Progress On Alfa

A few new photo's of the alfa. Some new paint work below the chassis rails and i found it necessary to cut and fit a vent above the exhaust header. Also put an air scoop under the motor to assist cooling.

control room

Alfa Romeo tipo p3

Cooling vent over header hotspot.

Two toys.

I love everything about this cart *Gasp* WOW indeedThe gauges are just what I"m looking to do for my bri-gatti (My names Brian as well.) Did You make the Black and white background scale on the meters?

Hi Brian..Thank's for your comment's.I just love the detail on these wonderful old cars..I found a signwriter who reproduce's dashboard gauge decal's for car restorer's and then made the surround's out of bit's of broken teapot's etc. and faced them with circle's of acrylic sheet.. Alfa Romeo used Jaeger Paris Gauges i'm not sure about Buggatti..If you have any problem's sourcing them i could send you some of mine..Regard's Brian..

This build is amazing! Can I ask what is the wheelbase on your CK as I love the scale!

Comment by Brian S

Hey, thanks Bob. Wheel center to wheel center is 1760mm. and 1 meter wide between the tire centers. NB. Presume you are referring to the Alfa . Cheers Brian.

Yes, the beautiful Alfa for sure. Im in the process of designing my first CK inspired by a 23 Alfa RL Targa Florio but not sure the scale looks right. Thanks for the info!! Great job!

We think the 550 is a Beck from the States, but not absolutely sure. Fun to drive, very quick.
