Brizio

Yes, lately I don't have too much time to build...

The PE was in a 7 ½” x 9" yellow bubble wrap envelope, and the label was printed. The PE are between two pieces of thin cardboard. Is not the first time that i buy from this seller, I know how he works and trust him. Probably who got it, and noticed that was not his mail, toss it... I should have check it last Friday, but we were going out of town for the weekend, and 1000 thing to prepare.

It say delivered...

I need to tell you about this... A week ago I ordered some PE online, the seller told me that he ship them on September 3rd and sent me an email with tracking number. I almost forgot that I order the PE, so today I check online the status, and it says that it was delivered on September 5th! I was home that day, and when to pick up the mail immediately the mail man delivered. Not that I look out a the window waiting for it, like a dog , but that day I received also a package and when the mail man left to the porch he rang the doorbell. I ask one of my neighbor but he did not received it. It is kind of sad, that people keep your mail. Sorry for the rant...

The chassis is almost rolling... Body painted.

I was able to finish the Dumpster car this early evening and take to the club meeting, but I did not have take picture yet, so I will still post the step by step one. Body ready for primer. The engine is a Dauntless 225 V6, based on the Buick and is from the Jeepster kit.

thank you all guys!!! Yes I like it! Thank yo Bill! I call it paper, but is thin cardboard, this one is from a USP envelope, the A4 size. I use Super glue to glue all together.

Thank you Bill!

Great job on the engine bay!

The hood looks good!

I had some parts that I didn't know what to do, I didn't like to trash them, because for sure after I will need them. The other day I ran into a picture on the web about a car made using a dumpster. So I want o make it, I think it should be fun and also to have a break from other projects... I decided to use the postal Jeep chassis, or at least part of it. Next I add the front from another part chassis I had, and radiator from a Jeepster, the rear axle I have not idea.. Fenders from a Jeepster. Body from paper...

Thank you!

Love it!

I bought the book, beautiful photos! Yes, I'm glad they restored it. Some small progress on the rear axle. Still a lot to do...

WOW!!! Very happy that you have them back with you,

I was able to finish today the front springs.

Congratulation!

Thank you Randy! I heard about the write up, but I couldn't find it. But I was able to find a lot of information about the truck. Thank you for the tip about the book, I will check it out.

One of the HRM reseller that I contact, seems that he will able to make me have the parts in a short time. $100, is a lot of money, but still a good price compared to the $1200t hat they ask now.

Too fast! Post a picture so wee can see it!

Beautiful paint job!

This is Mr. Stanley...

Working on the cab.

I was thinking to scratchbuild the Fiat Bartoletti transporter, that carry the Two Daytonas. I think it will be a cool combination. Bartoletti was famous in Italy back then for build Buses,after they change and build truck trailer. If you look a the Shelby transporter it look a bus, with the back open. Here a little bit of story about this truck. It is a 1960 Fiat - Bartoletti truck, that was commissioned from Scarab/Reventolw to carry his cars to F1 race. The team Lotus used it a couple of time after Scarab folded. In 1961,'62 and '63 was back at Bartoletti in Forli', Italy. In 1964 Shelby bought it, added a third axle for be able to put more weight on it, and repainted. In 1965, '66', '67 was used by Alan Mann (Ford) and repainted. In 1968, '69 and '70 was repainted in blue with yellow stripes, for teh John Woolfe Racing. In 1970-'71 was rented to David Piper for make the Le Mans film. From 1972 to 1979 was bought by JCB (Bam Ford) and used for historic racing and co-op with Harley Cluxton/GTC for Le Mans, at least for 1977/'78, with Renault name on it. JCB put a new transmission in it (Leyland). In 1980 the new owner Michael Shoen used it for historic racinng and put to rest. In 2006 was bought by Orosco, and in 2008 was fully restored.
