Fabulous, just came accross your video. The esasy way to copy the frame is to get the car scaned , it is well possible if the new owner will let you do it. Same as the body. Thanks for the video and in my opinion one of the greatest race car. With the typo63
Where can I find plans of the chassis and what grades of tube / welds used throughout? There should be more of the Tipo 61 around . Great job you have done of finishing it off, it would be interesting to get feed back from a comparison to an original one. Maybe you could share who built the chassis.
There isn't much around about the Tipo 61 unfortunately. I'd love to get a chassis myself. This one was built by a couple of retired mechanics in Italy several years ago and I haven't come across any other chassis at all.
They certainly have made a beautiful job of this chassis, and they may have been lucky enough to have cloned off an original. I see there are small scale model available which look an accurate layout but too small to scale off to make a full size unit. Thanks kindly for your reply.
Dear Gasolini , what an incredible job you did ¡¡¡¡. Congratulations. I am from Argentina and we are starting a project to build a replica here in Argentina. If you can share part of your experience it would be of great help to us. Did they build it from scratch or did they get a chassis? do you have plans? What size and material are the tubes you used? If we could start a contact it would be of great help to us. In Argentina it is almost impossible to get information on cars like these. Thanks a lot. Best Regards. Hernan.
Thanks Hernan, but it wasn't me that did this! It was originally built by 2 old mechanics in Italy many years ago, and then my friend rebuilt it 5 years ago. They originally built it from scratch using the correct diameter chromoly tubing and they also built the bodywork in aluminium. They were very skilled! Unfortunately I don't have any plans. Hopefully the car will be serviced by my friend in the future and I will try and get some measurements then.
How are you going Herman with your build? I’d love to have a go too, it’s such an awesome car isn’t it. Did you ever find any plans to enable you to build an exact replica? Best of luck.
Any measurements as yet on chassis, I’d 3d Auto cad draw it if I had sketch’s of tube sizes, lengths, and angles of the tubes set from vertical on plan, with heaps of photos.
Congratulations! . . nice work! . . . a kindness, I would like to build a small spider, with front engine, but I can not find a tubular chassis on which to base the body. The idea is a light vehicle with no more than 120 hp, a compact spider, maybe with a height of about 123 / 128 cm, but if that's not possible, even lower is fine. Do you know where I could find / buy the project of a tubular chassis? . . . maybe light and fascinating like the Birdgage one, or that could fit my idea. I would be grateful if you could give me some indication. .
Thanks Alex. Maybe an old lotus seven style chassis would be good? There are normally a few old ones available on ebay by kit manufacturers like Robin Hood, Dutton, Tiger. There is also the book 'How to design a car for £250' which has the plans for a light front engined chassis if you can build it for yourself. Good luck!
@@GasoliniASMR Thank you for your kind reply, I will research these texts One last information, for your Etceterini Car, what kind of tubes (material / tube diameter / tube thickness) did you use? . . and for the bodywork, what material and what thickness did you choose? . . . this is information that can be useful for me to have a base of parameters. Thanks a lot again
@@alexr.3954 For my chassis I used 75mm diameter round tube that was 2.5mm thick. (It had to be thick to allow the tube to be bent). I have had a Lotus 7 style car before and that had 1"x1" tubing x 1.6mm thickness. For the bodywork I used 1050A aluminium sheet 1.5mm thick.
It is indeed wild. Having a fixed horizontal sheet of plastic directly in front of your face that will chop your head off in case of an accident might take your mind of the welding!
The engine that came with it was a water cooled VW 4 cylinder with an Alfa cylinder head and Maserati cam cover grafted on - it was not reliable or easy to work on! An original Maserati engine would be about £60k to buy and £10k a year to run compared to the Ford engine which is about 10k to buy and £500 a year to run.
Absolute brilliant. So clever to sort it ❤❤❤😊😊😊

Thanks! One day if it comes back to my friends workshop then I might be able to do that.
Amazing work! Been doing some research for an idea of mine. This is a great study case, Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was of use!

One would have to be obsessed to be able to do this, something I can understand.
Thanks for the ride!
Scary fast !!!
Amazing sound...lovely car.

@@GasoliniASMR Thank you só much!... for your help 🙏
The Tipo 61 is my-all time favorite. Will you do a series on the build?
Beautiful aren't they. Very unlikely at the moment but you never know what may happen
Wow. This is a one of one?
Wouldn’t it great to get plans of the chassis and have a go at building one? Has anyone any ideas where plans could be found ?
I've looked online but not come up with anything. I think a few other people icluding myself would be interested
wild ride! personally i'd want to get the chassis looked over, some of that welding looks dodgy af.

So you got rid of a working Maserati engine to put in a Ford??? Why not an air cooled Volkswagen? Work harder!
The engine that came with it was a water cooled VW 4 cylinder with an Alfa cylinder head and Maserati cam cover grafted on - it was not reliable or easy to work on!
An original Maserati engine would be about £60k to buy and £10k a year to run compared to the Ford engine which is about 10k to buy and £500 a year to run.
