Did you reprint the wheels with a different material - or did you change the design ?  And are you using Mr Bill’s tires - or what ???  Very nice   -  btw ...

Experimenting with a different material. I will be using the last of my stock of resin cast tires on this model. However, I designed and and printed Pirelli Stelvios for the Osca (see in "under glass") and am working on Pirelli Cinturatos for future projects.

Hi, Pico! great look, although light reflections are a little tricky... seats do have the correct shape, don't they? and windows, plain clear sheet or vacuform?

I can't wait until it has the wheels!

Rear window was vacformed, others are sheet. Pleats run across the seat in the car today, uncertain about 1953. Exhaust pipe install.

White walls really make the look don’t they ?

have you seen the new Delage ??

Thanks to everyone for the compliments. This has been a challenging, but fulfilling project, that I learned a lot on. I hope some of that learning has been picked up by many of you guys. Andy: just looked up the new Delage, didn't know anything about it. All of those hypercars are trying to out scoop, swoop and crease all the others. Maybe not a good idea. I would like to see a return to the aesthetics of the 50's.

The delage is kinda out there. But I’m really digging the Murray T50.  Love that Cosworth V12... since the delage project is bank-rolled by a Miami guy. I’m thinking that the Delage mite be shown at Amelia ... that would be cool ...

The T50 is more my idea what a modern supercar should be.

Well, I did not expect less than what you show us at last!  what a great work-of-art!... why don't you try some photosof the car on some P100 grain metal sanding paper ( may be a little lightened), it would look just like the real car... or over some green flocking paper, like the Peeble Beach green lawn...

Thank you very much for your new build
