Continuing this project of building the Darracq, today I come to show some more advances in this work, the construction of the fenders, in metal, first a wooden mold is made with the formatting of the curves so that they are symmetrical, and also the formatting of the box and front seat, some photos and sequences of these works, I hope you enjoy seeing.
Hello to all my friends who, like me, enjoy and appreciate this hobby. And that being the case, it's a project that doesn't progress as quickly as we'd like, for various reasons: other work that needs to be done, and sometimes a lack of materials.
Today I'm here to show you some more progress on the chassis, differential, and fenders. The differential was adapted from a Wltoys brand, so several modifications were necessary to adapt it to this project. The fenders are made of 1mm metal, and a wooden mold is made to shape the curves.
Some photos of this work that I hope you'll enjoy and understand.
Hello to all my friends, thank you for following this construction of the Darracq, of French origin and one of the first cars to come to Portugal in 1900.

Today I will show some more progress in the construction of the Darracq, the wheels are finished, it remains to paint and adjust the axle fittings, start of the chassis, springs and wooden mold to format the metal hood.
Hello to all friends, as I promised, today I will show some photos of the beginning of the construction of the Darracq.
As always, I like to start by building the wheels, as it is a slightly more complex job that requires some templates for construction, and especially these wheels, as they are mixed, with wooden spokes, wooden and iron rims and rubber tires. Here are some step-by-step photos of this job. As always, the wood used is beech.
