Dino 206
Hey Axel Very nice looking project , the blending of the two designs seems to work very nicely . Can you provide more info on the chassis and what will be the engine and transmission you will be using and if this will be a track car or street driven. Thanks James

Hi James
It is a copy of a KVA GT40 spaceframe chassis with GT40 wheelbase, but I have modified a lot of things. My plan is to install an 3.0 Alfa V6 adapted to a Porsche transmission. I will use it on the road if I ever get it streetlegal and registered. Axel

Some updates:
I finished the bonnet and put it on the car again, and this really looks like a step forward:

Then I started working at the lower rear panel with the 29 slots, I wheeled two pieces of sheet metal to threedimensional curvature and welded them together, and started to cut out the slots...what a pain in the a...!
but at the end I felt it was worth the work: I was afraid that the panel will loose its stiffness with cutting that many slots in it, but amazingly it remained stiff, I guess due to the threedimensional curvature I gave it before! .

After that I was working at the panels for the taillights:
I cut two pieces of wood with identical circular holes in them, and put the metal between them like a sandwich. And than I was hammering by hand inside the circular top hole to give the metal a deflection for the integration of taillights and I was surprised it was really working out! looks good outside:

The last thing I did was the panels around the taillight panel, and this is really a step forward...with the almost finished metalwork of the bonnet and tail I feel like I have done the most difficult and significant parts of the Dino:

Thanks Richard, I am sure there is still a lot to learn to improve my workflow and how to separate surfaces and arrange them- I am still an amateur with very limited knowledge and tools...but I am quite proud how it turned out!
