Dream W125
This is my new project. From the beginning I knew that to built an exact replica would be too ambitious for me. What I am after is to have a close look-a-like with the emphasis on the ali body and a unique sound when the vehicle drives past.
The first pic shows where I am now and the second one shows where I am aiming at. Z.C.

good look with the project!
I have had a similar idea to build a classic open wheeled racer after the Porsche 356 I'm currently doing for myself. a buck would be a good start. jeffry a member on this forum, is doing a program for me to have a wooden buck cut for the front end panels on my 356. its worth asking, it could save you lots of time in the long run

Hi Zollis.
Whats the plan with the shape ,do you have something to go of other than the model. Or will it be the model and photos and just bring it together. You could get the model 3D scanned and supply you the profiles. Bigger the model the better the result. Its a good looking car. Jim

Zollis:
Will this be driven on the street or track only? Jere

A short up date .
I am using reliable drawings to create the body shape, absolutely no digital stuff here. Manual drafting board and then manual hole, band and jig saws to do the wood work on the buck. After studying the scale model I have, I realized it is not even close to accurate . So Jim I decided I am not going to use any scale model what so ever. Jere-- it will be track only . Started on building the body buck using 12 mm ply. Reasoned to start in the middle with the scuttle first and then work forwards and aft . Z.C. .

Hi Sojevic, thank you for the special interest.
I continued making the buck, working on the tail end after the scuttle was finished. Processing the woodwork ( actually MDF now) created quite a bit of dust. As I am a novice at this " buck making" any positive guide lines will be much appreciated. Z.C.

Looks good Zollis!
You may find that you need a little more information right at the tail - areas with the greatest (or quickest) shape change would tend to have more stations/stations closer together. You seem to have created good access (the holes) to see from the back - you may want to look at making sure you have points on the buck that allow you to clamp your parts to it easily. It depends on the type of clamps you use, but you don't want to be fighting clamps that keep wanting to slip off. |

Hi Barry thank you for the advice. I will add more stations later.
I made some progress on the nose buck although it is not complete yet. Z.C.
