My Birthday Present - John P - 23-05-2019     My wife bought me this as a birthday present.   Based on a photo of my actual car. RE: My Birthday Present - Tony Betts - 23-05-2019 That's lovely John, and happy birthday. Wayne rushin used to make these when he ran midshire 7s. So we may see others that people have.

On the Alfa, great wheel shape. What's the "chassis" made from? RE: My Birthday Present - Duncan Grimmond - 24-05-2019 I love the crankshaft mounting for the single seater. The Alpha is two raised shells soldered together, no chassis at all. The bottom is two slim pointed canoe ends meeting at a 22mm copper pipe soldered into the body forward of centre with a couple of marbles and lots of grease as the bearing. The louvres were made from strips fed through the gears on a swager
