Dave B Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Always wanted to build a spyder and when my mate offered to swap his Fujimi Coupe for my Heller I decided to go for it. Had a few issues with the conversion, the least being I lost all the glass!! Luckily I still had the Heller glass from my 350 Can-Am conversion so I managed to vacform over the screen and headlight covers and utilise those. I also painted it based on a review of the Daytona '67 winning car by Road & Track back in a 1981 mag. I was rather disappointed to find when looking on the net that the roundel placing was not reflective of the race winning car. Win a few, lose a few. Anyway I'm relatively happy with it and the flaws are not that visible in the showcase. The last pic includes my 350 conversion based on the Heller P4. Tks for looking Dave B
Foxer Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Beautiful ... the paint just screams like the engine!
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Yes, beautiful, both. The P3/4 cars rank in my all time top 5 favorite race car designs. I wonder how these exquisitely styled cars would do in wind-tunnel testing compared with some of the recent purposeful-looking but often ugly CFD-designed prototypes. My guess is pretty well.
FabbricaP Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Absolutely beautiful builds. That Daytona winner has been on my bucket list forever. Thanks for sharing
Gramps46 Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Outstanding build of both off them. The spyder conversion from the coupe is impressive.
Bernard Kron Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Beautiful models. Whether Bill Engwer's rumination about their aerodynamics would prove true or not, their beauty and the shear racing purpose they project is undeniable and have cemented their positions as icons of what would prove to be the very peak of automotive culture.

Dodge Driver Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 A beautiful pair of Ferraris you have there! Great realism and spotless execution in my opinion.
Silver Foxx Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Super nice work on these , they look great , I always enjoy seeing your work .
