Here are pictures of a restoration work that Alberto Gianfrancesco made on an old model AMR Nostalgia One, bought on e-bay for a few Euros.
This version is the car driven by Ferraro and Scarlatti in the 1962 Targa Florio, chassis 3451GT, in a very unique and special dark brown color expecially for a car that we usually see in a completely different "dress".

Let's start from the base ....




In the following pictures the unrefined model and the various adjustments necessary for this specific version, for example the reduction of the front opening that also has a different shape reconstructed with silver nickel strip of 0.3 mm

How did you do the slot? Do you have picture of the tool?



The builder is Alberto Gianfrancesco and made the slot with a milling machine....i will ask him if is possible to have a picture, thank you for your comment.

Torniamo a noi.....la parte anteriore del fondino è stata staccata e poi saldata alla carrozzeria per poter meglio definire le prese d'aria inferiori.



Gli scarichi sono stati bruniti ed è stata fresata l'asola sui terminali (SBAVVV :mrgreen: )

Di seguito le foto che riguardano la costruzione delle cornici vetro fatte con lastra di alluminio da 0.6, sono state eliminate quelle riportate sulla carrozzeria e prima è stato messo il nastro adesivo sui trasparenti del kit, quindi è stato tagliato a misura e poi messo sulla lastra come "dima" per il taglio.

Proseguiamo con la costruzione ex novo dei pannelli portiera con lamierino di 0.2mm , rifatti il pianalino posteriore e la cappelliera con una lastra di alluminio 0.8mm
