You are doing great work here Michael! (in K.I.T.T. voice) Seriously though.....love what you have done so far!

I would like to say that now we are even Kerry.....but you know that you plugged WAY more ideas into my head! (I am still working on my boat but the wiring on the engine and fuel lines and injection......) I am busy on it we'll just say that. Looking forward to the race! Oh yeah......they aren't real.

Looking good Kerry! Engines fit in there nice and snug!

This looks beautiful!! I am a Ferrari freak and this is DEFINITELY on my list to pick up!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures Andy! Congrats to you both!

You could do the engine/trans from a Revell 911 Turbo on the cheap but the all wheel drive is another story. (I would probably use the drivetrain from a Skyline kit for that!)

The pro touring is my favorite!!! Great job on the scratch building/modifying!

Good going Andy! Funny how things just find a way to work sometimes! We would be glad to have you at the meetings for sure. Congratulations on the house!

Hey Jesse, Nice grab on the 917K and of course another Datsun!

Outstanding Tim!!! That engine is just magnificent! Love the direction you are going with the Henry J too!!

I definitely forgot this one......My old car (Gosh I miss this one......alot!)

I want to do it in 1/16th!! I do have the Fujimi 1/16 Countach waiting for paint. Hmmmm

Thank you Carl. Working on the plug wires (16!!!) at the moment. Never wired up two magnetos before. Time consuming for sure!

Looking good Ryan. You should try to find some 1/24 scale Countach wheels for this. The kit wheels will no doubt be too small + the wrong offset. The Countach had very large tires/deep wheels.

Thank you Bob. I really appreciate the kind words.

Thanks Glenn! No problem Glenn...... the engine will be behind the driver. The engine will be driving a jet drive on the transom.

Thanks Kerry! Put the floor in last night after I posted the above photos. Needs the "dashboard" next I think.

Been trying to give equal time to both this and the '57 Speedster that will pull it..... Got some more body work done on the boat. Had to build in the back area with Evergreen around the engine compartment due to how rough it was from sectioning height and length from the Scarab. These photos are after the third fill of Tamiya white filler, filed, shaped and then wetsanded with 400 grit. The windscreen was made using the convertible roof from the Saleen Speedster. It is getting there!! Slow but sure.....

Been following this......love what you have done so far! What are the wheels from? I do like them.

Thank you Bill. Been working on the boat that will be pulled behind this car. (In All the Rest) Trying to get both builds done equally as I go. I'll be back to this shortly though. Thank you for your continued support!

Thanks guys!! Cool ideas Rusty!

Thanks for the help Kerry! Thank you James! Summer is usually a slow build time due to outdoor "projects".

I have been trying to get back on this lately.....I was having a big mental block on the chassis. All wheel drive was not going to work on a '57 chassis and the engine just would not fit transversely. I ended up (with discussions with other individuals) going with a custom Ferrari chassis pan. The front of the pan is from the Testarossa and the rear section(s) is/are from the F40. The rear differential is from the Shelby Series 1 as originally discussed, the front engine cradle frame (not pictured) is from some R35 GTR parts I had in the parts box. I ended up cutting in the "window" for the rear differential so it would not be covered up in the end result.....the engine/trans will have a similar treatment. Also, because of the ODD shaped fenderwells on the front and rear of the '57 I had to do some custom inner fenders which took some time to do being they were going to have to resemble a prism effect to fit properly. This is what I came up with so far......sorry for the long hiatus!

No unfortunately I overlooked a complete side shot. I only have the pics I put up on here for the time being. Thanks James! I need to get back on it......stupid nice weather!

WOW! I love it! Stance is spot-on! Color scheme is awesome! Great build!!
