Hello,
With the Dino 256F1 now complete, another victorious Ferrari at Monza shows the tip of its nose: The Ferrari 312B.
Bye bye V12 and hello flat 12.
The hull is prepared, which required a little work, then it is drilled in order to be riveted.
The two elements of the under tray are welded, the cockpit walls are assembled blank to validate the assembly in the hull.
The engine is also assembled , as is the gear box. Some modifications are planned on the engine.
Some panels are riveted because they will remain (slightly…) visible.
Then the whole is assembled and welded quite roughly (strong and invisible) on the chassis.
A test validated the positioning of the parts of the bucket, the engine and its upper plate.
The welded frame/bathtub unit fits well into the body.
The front part, in particular the box of the nose gear is being prepared with all its elements.
It is mounted here blank in order to validate the positioning:
- the oblique partition,
- hot air extractor,
- the sharp nose of the beautiful red monster.
These preparation and adjustment phases are long, time-consuming and laborious, but nevertheless necessary.
A lot of drilling, preparation, tests... are carried out on the engine and the accessories.
The injection pump is mounted, the “banjos” oriented in the right direction for the order of injection.
The main elements of the box are assembled.
The pedal box and the master cylinder support await installation in the front box.
Drilling the duct that directs the air from the Naca muzzle intake was no small feat…
The assembly of the elements of the front of the car seem promising.
Let’s take out the masking tape, the “Maskol” for a little masking session.
The parts are then primed.
To finally receive a first coat of Alclad.
The parts are ready for finishing and assembly of the main elements.
I didn't go into too much detail as almost everything is hidden.
Only the mechanical pump that I added will be detailed.
The shading and highlights are mostly done, except on the top of the block for the reason mentioned above.
It remains only to cut the tail of the “Tyraps”.
Same thing for the gearbox.
Maybe I'll make the master clutch control cylinder...
More soon.
