I guess both of us were jonesing for a fairly precision Bugatti. I went the other way in the attempt to make a silk purse from a sow's ear. I tried to detail the Bburago by wiring the engine. redoing the faux wood dash, adding butrate "glass" to the gauges and upholstering the seats. I still needed to replace the wire wheels and over wide tires.... and then the clouds parted, the sun came out, and there was the 1/18 CMC to make my dreams come true.

Hey Rich, I must have missed this old post. I love your detailed Burago's. I was planning how to merge a Burago Atlantic body with FM Altante chassis until I accepted the 1:18 alternative. The Atlantic is a charismatic car ... and thank you CMC! I have both black and blue 1:18 cars. I do want it though in 1:24, and maybe my wish is getting granted soon ...

Chaz,is it just me or does the shape of the windshield look rather off,……bit small and squarish to you.

Agree, and many other things are not right but it is a very old Burago, it was practically a toy, goal was resemblance, not accuracy. Proportions are pretty good though.
