Re: Adventures in soldering:The GT40 Project
Soldering isn't what amazes me. That looks like the easy part. It's cutting out all of those shapes in brass and their patterns.

Re: Adventures in soldering:The GT40 Project
Hi Folks,
Michael, Thank you and all the 1/2 rounds are soldered pieces.
JMP, Glad you like it ! and you are right, I have built this thing out of paper stimes
Thanks Adamg !
Hi Harvey, Thanks ..using .010 for the main floor piece that is curved up to form the fuel cells, dropping down to .050 for the piece that supports the dash.
Hi Jan, Appreciate the kind words.
Thank you Jordan.
Thanks Vince.
Thank you Jeff !
Small update....
Working on the perferated seat frames and mocking up the crossover fuel pipe.
ref. pics...
Nothing attached yet as I work on more little bits.
Should have more pics soon as I'm getting alot of bench time over the holidays
Thanks for looking in !

Hi Folks,
Thanks vontrip !!
Hello Harvey, glad you are liking the build so far
DM, I use a fine blade jewelers saw and a good pair of scissors.
Smal update...
Making a shifter.
Just for fun a mockup with the kit seats that I will not be using...
That is all for now,
Thank you for looking in !

Hi Randy
Once again great craftsmanship you are showing us here.
This Looks so fantastic that it is almost a shame to paint it later on.
Also very exited about the next updates.
best regards,
Michael

Hi Randy,
Great scratch building work. Your gear shifter is amazingly detail! It is a master piece on its own.
