The last post should have said suspension, because there are a lot of other bits to the chassis.
The wheels are apparently made via laser lithography, and are very delicate but very nice. Here they are just inserted for test shots.Paint consisted of AS-12 Bare-Metal Silver with TS-30 Silver leaf on top.
I added a few bits of tube here and there, for instance to the oil filter on the left side inner fender. One of these days I'll sort out the Detail Master braided lines, which still tend to fray in my hands. A link from the throttle pedal to the carbs on the engine is on the list.
The four ignition coils stick through the firewall into the cockpit. The kit also includes a panel full of relays with the possibility of full wiring, but I decided that this would be a lot of work at 1/24.
The main part of the dashboard is molded with the body and will come later. The enormous gas tank unfortunately hides the de Dion rear suspension.
So it's moving right along; next will be the scary part, which is putting paint on the body. Wish me luck!
