Here's a Mexico version of the Cox Ferrari 158. I've still got to do some clean up and the driver is not quite finished. I've completely redesigned the front suspension. I wanted a little more detail to fit the rear detail when it's done. There's 5 parts to this design and this one on the car is just the mock up. I'll add brake lines later. I scratch built the oil cooler on the side of the car as well. Should have the finial photos soon. Onward brothers!

Hi Chris,
Lovely details
and extremely nice execution of the front part.
I experienced it is very difficult to get two same pieces from wire when there are several bending even if you mark precisely all bending points.
A very small error can cause a noticeable difference.
I'm curious to know if you use any special tool or technique for the wire bending (I guess you are using music wire 1mm?).

Thumbs up for you mate!
Cheers,
JamieG

Ok! Smart solution

I built a bending jig to get things done precisely. If I glue together the two pieces it will make things even easier.
Thx bro, nice hint!
Cheers,
JamieG
