Adventures in soldering:The GT40 project New pics 2/13/17

So I was pondering about the fuel tank etc. and realized I didn't have a suitable cap for it. I remembered seeing one that knocked my socks off and of course, I found it here on Randy's build. (page 4 btw)  I had to look at virtually every page to find it, not complaining, it was actually a treat.  This thread proves that just about anything IS feasible when it comes to scratch-building.  I know Randy is working on several impressive builds at once with some "top secret" fabrication that will amaze everyone, but if I might impose Randy, would you find a wee bit of time for this one.  It's one of my personal favorites.   Cheers Sir!

Randy, you make my eyes water. Awesome, just awesome

P.S. are you sourcing some 1/24 scale racing fuel for this one?

[Del Austin]

Truly a work of art. I am enjoying watching you create this masterpiece in awe. My favorite car of all time being built so perfectly. Awesome.

amazing work really, and even more on a gt40..

Note if you are working on fujimi body of the 1969 gulf car, please fix the body shape, that in my opinion has some issues.

I build the very last gt40 produced (chassis 1083) and had to work a lot on all the body from fujimi:

Are there any more updates? Saw this build on You Tube and I would sure love to see the finished car. Great build.

I'd be willing to bet that you have several sets of different Jets for the Webers as well!  Totally Amazing work, my eyes hurt just thinking of trying to do that tight of work in 1/24 scale.  Thanks.
