Very cool build, always liked this car. Seeing you attack this is making me want to work on a diecast 250 GTO I've wanted to detail for some time. Can't wait to see more!

Update.

Fuelpipe : first thing was to make the connector between the body and the pipe. I was a question of trial and error to find the right dimension and the postion of the holes :



The pipe was made from a knitting needle, the rings are drilled out pieces of sprue :



Dryfit :



Hotwheels has made the windows and the frame in one piece, these will be replaced :



Step 1 : Make an cutout in the body and and drill a hole for the brass tubes :



Step 2 : Cut the brass tubes to size and insert a piece of copper wire :



Step 3 : Glue pieces of plasticard to give the brass tubes the correct angle :



Step 4 : Dryfit :




This is the HW electronics panel :



It's not wide enough and I don't like the details. After a couple of hours of sanding, drilling and dryfitting, this is the result :



I mad new electronic connectors with pieces from a lighter :



It was cut in three and then was sanded to size and reassembled :



The sidewalls of the cockpit need further modification. I've done some work in the past, but the walls weren't high enough. Now they run all the way to the underside of the body :



These are the first pieces I made for the battery and its housing :



The goal is to acheive this :

Thanks !

Today I spend about 3 hours making the bracket for the battery. The bracket is scratchbuild and has 7 parts (5 brass, 2 plasticard), it's 5 x 3,5 x 3 mm :







A coat of primer shows that there is a bit more sanding to do :
