Saw Four of these beasts - all lined up - waxed and polished - at the Amelia Concourse- four years ago - the survivors -  less than 50 ? - are all over- restored - and gorgeous - if I had one I would do exactly the same thing - curbside is fine - but if you get ambitious - it would be easy to source the engine - either way - i was really hoping that someone would do this car - are there any survivors in Australia ?  Check Primotipo …

Gramps - I’ve got the Thunder Valley Miniatures GT40 engine set - as you can see - it was designed for 24th scale - thank you formthe offer - but in the end - I’ve got good scale Webers - and I’ll make a better sized engine using the kit castings -make The valve covers - etc …

Fr Dave B:      I have found in my stash a pre painted vac form Iso.

It  looks reasonably good but I will need to review dimensions and see what I can do about the wheels prior to seeing if it will slush mould.

If someone turns up with a resin kit offer them the slot.

I'll keep this link informed of my progress.

 

speaking of which:

cool fact:  Bizzarini:  born in '26, is still alive !

Compare this photo To the overhead photo of the ‘64 GTO  on the previous thread page - the resemblence is not a coincidence - Bizzarini was involved in the design of both cars …

Randy - think you want to build 82 speced to its appearance on  /  or before  the starting grid ...

there is a reason why you will never see a Sebring entrant displayed in a present day vintage event as "unrestored" ,,,

Alrighty  -  start here or go to the photos page

 

many of these are by a photographer that I am not familiar with / Dave Morton

 

Dave fr Hobart  -  scroll down - way, way down ...

 

great photos of the Iso Grifo   ...

 

this is why facebook causes insanity - just keep scrolling down until you forget what day it is ...

Before you’re half way done - it’s time for a nap … got 5 excellent shots of my Daytona - and did you see the relaxed shot of Clark and Gurney ?  So who is doing the Clark Cortina … ???!!

Hi Andrew, my vacform body is not real good, apart from being 5mm too short and at least 5mm too shallow (both fixable) it appears the Sebring Iso, chassis #B0202 was the second of only three 7000 rivet cars, being the first 3 manufactured, and the vents, side windows and some body fixtures are substantially different. 

I'm going too clean the body up, take a resin slush mould and see what happens.

Should anyone with a decent resin want #5 please give it to them.

Dave B

PS my plans are for the later body style but are better than nothing.

The plans appear to be from the old Model Cars Magazine series ….  It will be a challenge - but its doable - easy for me to say !   Is the Lexan reasonably thick ?

Posted

The old Model Cars plans are on the web, this one is better. The lexan isn't as thick as the Lola or nobbly Lister I back cast but I think it is useable.

Posted

Lister ?  You’ve got my undivided attn:   Would you like to post a photo of the Lister casting ?  It wasn’t the Sayer modified series II - was it ??
