Hi Mick - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

What's next up on your projects list?

[Fire blade]

Hello guys, last project. Next project a type 35 Bugatti. The chassis is almost done then the body, had to make a ring roller for the wheels and I am halfway through making an English wheel to make the body panels with.
By the way the Jeep is full 4WD using a mobility scooter 24v motor.

Hi Mick,

Welcome - glad to have you here!

Fantastic work on the Jeep; it looks great!

Is the Type 35 a kit, a ground-up replica, or an actual restoration? Pics - we need pics!

Cheers Ken, it's been hard to find detailed drawings so iv'e done the best I can to transpose and scale photos.
It's actually a type 52 which is a baby Bugatti, like the Jeep it will be powered by a transaxle from a mobility scooter because that incorporates a differential. The difference in wheel diameter will be accounted for by chain and sprocket drive.
Struggled with getting tyres so had to make the wheels to fit tyres nearest to the scale diameter.
Had to make a ring roller to roll the wheel rims then weld in the fabricated wheel centres.
Here's the chassis.
