Aston Martin DBR 1
This model was built starting from a Paddock kit which was modified as follows:
Dashboard obtained by aluminum turning of instruments, steering wheel in soldered brass with buttons, control lights, fuse box and fire extinguisher added. Micro-rivets (0.3 mm) were inserted around windshield frame and over fuel and oil caps. Air valves were also created over rims with spokes. Particular care was paid to engine manufacturing , especially in handbuilding the distribution “flutes” of candle wires: these were obtained by piercing brass micro-pipes (0.4 mm external diameter) in order to have the 8 red micro-wires (with related cap) pass through. The two reels and related connection wire to the coils were also obtained in turned aluminum. Again by turning were obtained various junctions between the engine and the front radiator .
