I've actually been building this one for about 8 weeks now.
It's my first attempt at scratch building anything so bear with it.
The body was carved in wood first, then a mould taken from it, and then laid up in carbon kevlar and resin - a bit like glass fibre but thinner and much stronger.
The engine frame and chassis is built from brass section and tube.
Most other parts are made from parts cast in resin - even the engine and interior parts.
Many detail bits are made from scrap, bits of junk in my spares box and plastic tube or brass and ally tube/section.
The wheels are hand laced.
I did manage to source a lovely set of Webber carbs from Germany but the linkages, manifold and intake trumpets are hand made, as is the exhaust manifold and pipes.
Still got the front suspension etc to go.....
Apologies if any of my pics are out of build order.
Hope you like it.
