Here's a car I built about 6 years ago. Don't think I've posted this one before.

As per usual, it's built the way I would have built it in the 60s. All parts are mid 60s, including the brass and braid.

Don't know why I always take the pics before I get the body finished, and, then don't find time to take a couple more once it IS.

OOPs, I fibbed. Just realized they are my wheels and inserts. But, they look Sixties-ish, and, the inserts are old 60s Revell clones, so, not too far off really.

very neat build, as per your usual standard Al.
....to me those rear engined sports cars just cry out for brass panned anglewinder set up( usually having to carve away a bit of endbell), allowing a full cockpit....I realise your intent is to re create what was happening for you in the 60's,
and you've done so beautifully.
...dynamic over brass pan was used a fair bit by myself and frinds, in the sixties ,back in Toronto too

thats a very nice very clean build, what gauge brass did you use for this pan. thanks john.

I would have to find the car and measure, but, I think .032 or .040 thick.
