The roll bar is mounted:  The frame is extended and ready...  The front of the cabin is in place:  Here I cemented a small reinforcement:  The ends of the square tubes are now closed:  |

I've been looking for a suitable bell, without success, either the desired diameter were inappropriate, or the material processing was miserable...  Now that leaves only the option to make one yourself, long live the lathe, here it is:  And, hey, not only outside, yes, it is also processed inside (I mention it here because you can not see it later...)   OK, the clapper is still missing, but that still comes in, is promised... Something like this looks later:  Here is a compilation of all "carved" parts:  Hope, you like it so far... |

Thank you very much for the Kind words!  I have revived this project, even if it is only a part of it... ... but an important part... The ChainsawAfter a conversation with Dawie Coetzee, about his wonderful design and about what, where and how, I have very, very long time been looking for this kit:   And finally I have one in my hands...  ... call it blasphemy, very rare, about 40 years old and ready to bash...   Stay tuned... |

Happy to see you back at work on this one.
Might those be chainsaw parts I see?

These are the parts, needed for now:  From the rear frame, I just need the parts in the middle:  The main frame and the tank are adjusted and freed from chrome:  The engine is assembled, well, until the 1970s, on the english motorcycles, the gearshift was on the right side (with a "reverse" scheme), and on the left, was the foot brake, so, a few things need to be removed, because they are no longer needed, and some others added:  Stay tuned... |

And it goes on. The frame and tank are painted...  ... and a first composition even showed some small fit difficulties, I had to grind a little at certain Points, to fumble the engine in the Frame... ... but now it looks good, right?   Hope, you like it. |

Thank you very much for the kind words and for the support! Next, as promised, here is the bell clapper... My wife has quite a lot of necklaces and if she no longer want to wear one of them, then I get this for my Hobby... Here is one of them, respectively, only the end of it...  I just need this Piece...  ... and then, it is quickly installed, and the bell is ready...  Hope, you like it. |

Thank you very much, John, this means a lot to me! For some modelers, it sounds like blasphemy... ... I bought these kits, because I only liked the parts very well... ... I'm going to cannibalize these two and they will help me to continue building my Projects...  From the Itala-kit, I gather for this project, the following parts, and this twice...  This is the perfect result, which I had wanted for a long time for this build...  |

Bobby, when it comes to your work, there is no blasphemy in breaking up kits. The creations far outdo anything that is in those boxes. It's unfortunate that our community is small and not really out there like it was in the 70s or they'd all be talking about the builds you are doing as well as the ones you have done like all the greats. No doubt your stuff will have lastability. Keep at it! No telling what we haven't seen from you yet.
