The quest for a drivable scaled 312pb.

Hello all new member out of sw FL. I am a long time Ferrari admirer but never a owner. In my late 20s I was always building motorcycles, boats and .... As a hobby( I am not a "influencer " or YouTuber). My favorite car of all time has always been the 312pb and after seeing Pierre scerri's feature years ago I always wanted a drivable scaled down version, not a go kart with a pb body but something that was as close to scale as possible. So I set out to build one trying to keep all the proportions in scale as clase possible. Not sure if this is this forums type of thing but let me know if you would like to post here or not. here are some fairly recent pics.

I'm glad you don't mind me posting! A bit more mock up done. I have been struggling with rear frame clearance with the stock exhaust so I ordered a aftermarket set and switched there position on the motor and it freed up plenty of room for the rear frame. Things should get rolling now!

Thank you! Maybe the saving grave is it's not a replica but a mini version!!! Not that the original was very large!

 

Nothing to crazy, been working on building plugs for the body work and got the seat finished.

Not a huge leap forward but it's my first glimpse at its shape!

Honda goldwing 1.5 l flat 6

 

It is built to about 80% of actual size. So it ended up about the size of a Polaris ranger 570. 58" wide, wheel base may have to be a little longer than true 80% but shooting for 74ish". Should be 800-900 lbs.

 

Drive shaft is done. It is a bit longer than I would like. Debated making Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login a shorter solid shaft but I like the fudge factor a u joint gives me. I still may make one anyway. Here is the mock up and generally where the wheelbase will fall.
