Converting a GT40 into a Dino 206SP

Here you can see the result:







And I have the benefit that I can use the piece I cut out as a template for the headlight plexi covers...

Nice work! Do you have a English wheel?

Yes I have...a big help, could not live without it anymore...!

Here is a corner for the front airintake- a lot of stretch in the flange:

and checking the symmetry, not to far off considering I did not use a wooden buck, it is all done by photos and 100% handbuilt..

I made a simple handtool to round that corner of with a hammer, works fine!





Thanks for your compliments!
Axel

Another part of the airintake, I used the same handtools to shape it. Something happened to the flat surface with the round flange but I solved it with shrinking to flatten it again.

Another piece welded in...very complicated area but I am almost done!

Can't wait to put the headlights in...!

Looking very good. Great skills there Axel!

Both sides welded in, sorry for the picture quality but germany is wet and dark at the moment so I cannot pull the car out of its garage...



Now comes a 5 days break, I promised family time and so there is no time for the car...

Dark and wet it might be but the quality of your work still stands out. Continued success.

Excellent job! Go have fun with the family and come back recharged

Since the weather switched to winter this week with cold temperatures and lots of snow it is no fun in the workshop...so there is only minor progress.

I did the inner panels for the headlights and checked with the wheel, a tight fit, it is half an inch gap which should work I hope...

When I get home from work it is already dark when I go in the shop, so sorry for the bad pictures, but I want to keep you updated even if it is just minor progress or dark pictures...

Excellence continues Axel. Thanks for updating.

Took some pics this morning, finally a face...!

really great job !

Amazing... keep up the great work!!

Great progress! Keep the pics coming!
