Incredible it is and in far better condition than the real car I saw at Silverstone yesterday - it was a bit sad to see it in less than pristine condition. The BT24 they had there was looking good though - complete with David Brabham!
Can't wait to see the completed car Alan.
Best Regards
David

All that appears to be missing are the fuel tanks and a Repco V8!
Amazing work!

Fantastic! Your work is the equal of anyones. I'd be very interested to learn more of how you built the exhausts. They are a work of art.
Best Regards
David,

I see the bar being raised again, lovely work. On second look, you screwed up the exhausts Regards Nigel

I'm picking up my jaw from the floor after seeing the level of engineering and fine craftsmanship in this one. How you can keep all the sub-assemblies square and get them to line up is beyond me. Looking forward to seeing the exhaust detail.

Thanks Nigel
Matt, it certainly was a challenge coming up with an idea that went together relatively easily.
Still needs some refining. It will be interesting to to see how it hangs together. Thanks for the complement.
cheers
