No football this weekend and just the Superbowl left, so I am going to try and build this:
Hopefully it will come out alright. I’d be happy with alright.
So, for this week, I was able to get some sub-assemblies done. Engine, suspension, front seats, radiator mount with fan shroud and fan/alternator belts. If the garage warms up enough I will try and prime everything. If not next week is supposed to be warmer.
I’m not into sport cars and know little about mechanics, but I must admit that cars of yesteryear had by far more grit than those clunkers we are seeing nowadays. But should I ever choose to build a car, I would build a Pontiac Firebird and indeed an Aston Martin DB5, but even a Lotus Esprit would fit into my choices. Waiting for your further progress. I am really curious to see this Gem come to life.
Great start. Should be a beauty when you’re done bookmarking… ![]()
Good looking kit! Should be a fun one.
