You've really captured "The Look" of that car Régis. I love the gold numbers against the red body color too. Onward!

Here are the inserts before painting.
They were made from the wheels of the Scarab Strombecker.
Both will be mounted on the back, I inserted two aluminum parts that will allow me to fix the nuts of aluminum Riggen brand.
The dashboard is made of aluminum sheet.

Thank you friends.
The body is not very complicated, I was lucky, but I am unable to create a closed body like this.

I just love this car 
. The look is just so bold and aggressive. Your model captures that effect perfectly. The wheel and tire choice is also perfect!

Thanks
As this car was made for a race, I did the race in Bordeaux with it.
I just changed the tires for this race.
I am happy because it is not broken, just a little shock, and also because she has won a reward.
You can see that Don Siegel was faster than me in the race again

Yeah, but your's was a lot prettier Régis! Still, I like mine: I duplicated an entry from 1963 by Parnelli Jones' little-known English brother, Downton "Dow" Jones... no, he didn't qualify, and was kicked out of the country shortly thereafter...
(just to give you folks an idea of what was running - in fact, I promised Greg a report... coming up... soon!
