Hi guys!
About 4 yrs ago, I had the opportunity to buy a set of 906 chassis blueprints.
To make a long story short, since then, I deceided that I'd like to build one.
There are a lot of huge problems to overcome:
The first in the list is the lack of money. Children and house are more consuming than expected :laugh:
The second one is that despite several trys, I must be honnest with myself: I wouldn't trust a chassis I would build myself... Unless practicing a lot, and for a long time. But it is not to happen
The third problem is that as everything is almost specific to these cars, all the parts are very expensives (at least in my world) and VERY hard to come by
Last problem is that I'd like my dream car to be at least 99% accurate, excepted for the engine and gearbox which were specific and really out of range
So far no huge progress to show. i've been collecting data, and researching for a long time.
One way to make things happen is to produce "by myself" most of the stuff. But in order to make things affordable, produce in small batches and resell some.
This is what I did with some parts (windshields, specific ball joints)
I will try to share with you my latest endeavour.
So here we go. I have the opportunity to borrow some original parts. So I had some 3D scanned.
First picture is a raw 3D scam of the front upright
Pictures 2 and 3 show the scan reworked in CAD
Then a pattern is made in rapid prototyping thanks to the 3d files last picture
In another post, I'll show more if there is some interest!
