Nice...really nice!
...but, kinda too nice?

Is it really "backyard built"??

May I ask ya to "show" us
...some of "your work"???

I'm NOT trying to be NEGATIVE (-)
...but, we have seen & examined a lot of mini-vehicles
...both DIY/backyard built & factory built
&
The design & execution of your full-size to mini-car concept(s)
...the "spot on" component choices
...the nice-n-crisp bends, in the Aluminum
...all of the super tight-fitting joints
...the near perfect rivet lines (nary a rivet "out of place" &/or any "bad holes")
...& the factory like, bolting tabs etc.

IDK

I will post a "factory" tour tomorrow! I will take it as a compliment! I spend a ton of time researching details of the real car then search the Internet for things that are as close as I can get. All the aluminum is infact cut with a Ryobi battery jig saw. I have no metal brake, drill press, or lathe. All hand tools. I did buy a harbour freight manual pipe bender which is cool!

This is my shed on the side of my house. I have to pull it out on the plywood in all the pics to work on it!

Here is a quick factory tour.
Here is the tool room.
Front half is chassis storage and engine room in the rear! Lol

I am way too lazy to search this forum and see if you've mentioned that powerplant. What is powering this one?

Hory shet. I had no idea you had such a hardship space-wise with the fabrication side of things. When I saw the Ferrari posed in that clean garage, naturally thought that was your workspace, just tidied up for photos. You better hide the shed photos, man. It’s like seeing how the sausage is made, to use the expression.

Fine work. The complexity of the Tyrrell is just so much more-ness to a replica like this.

Haha! I know! The clean garage is my mother in laws. She let me keep the nearly complete cars there. She doesn't want any dirty work going on!! Lol
