The BMW 507 Ultimate Build Thread!!!

[A12pilot]

BMW added a "tropicalized" electric fan upgrade which used the fans from a Jaguar for better cooling for higher ambient temperature areas. I replicated that with a set of high flow 12" straight blade fans. The mount on a bracket that hangs against the radiator like original. The horns mount on the radiator lower support brackets.




I blasted and painted the tool box kit, now I just next to find some tools! They are easily available as vintage Porsche used the same Hazet tools.




Heater bezel control face is up next. I fabricated the control levers and will show that on the next updated. The face will bolt to the dash and the controls bolt to that. More work to come on this!





Cheers

...I'm waiting for Dave to slip up and show a photo that reveals his army of elves helping him build this car. I know he's "Super Dave"...but c'mon, there's no way one mortal man can accomplish all this in such a short period.

Seriously though, I was skeptical when you first revealed your plan and thought it rather ambitious for even a pro-shop full of talented craftsmen, but I am just wow'd by you vision, drive, enthusiasm and talent. Absolutely amazing and I am in perpetual awe of you, sir!

I was thinking along the same line. The Beamer was actually started 10 years ago and we are just getting the photo evidence now.....Just kidding, Dave is a machine, T-1000, Mimetic Polyalloy I think.
