Alfa Romeo Scratch Build Series Episode 2
Dive into the latest update from Pro Shaper Workshop in Charlton, Massachusetts, as Wray and his team make significant strides on their ambitious Alfa Romeo project, designed entirely by AI. In this update, Wray introduces us to the GTV 6 donor car, a "rust bucket" from north of Albany, which will serve as the vital backbone for the new creation.
Despite its dilapidated state, the GTV 6 is a treasure trove of mechanical ingenuity, housing components crucial for the upcoming build. Wray shares his admiration for the classic Alfa Romeo designs, reminiscing about his own experiences with an Alfa Spider Duetto from his youth. The focus of this video is to extract and repurpose the valuable guts of the GTV 6 - from its unique DD on tube rear axle design to the iconic V6 engine that exudes Italian engineering finesse.
Wray takes viewers on a detailed tour around the GTV 6, explaining the technical marvels of its design, including the inboard brake setup and the torsion bar suspension, which contribute to its reduced unsprung weight and remarkable handling. He also unveils the powerful yet elegant V6 engine, highlighting its potential once refurbished and possibly modified for the new build.
This video is not just a showcase of disassembling a classic car; it's a testament to Wray's vision of marrying traditional automotive craftsmanship with the limitless possibilities offered by AI technology. The journey involves adapting and integrating the GTV 6's components into a new, modern frame and body, guided by an AI-generated design that promises to push the boundaries of custom car building.
As Wray plans the next steps, including wire forming the new body design, viewers can anticipate a blend of engineering challenges and creative problem-solving. This project is a bold exploration into the future of car restoration and design, driven by passion and a deep respect for automotive history.
Stay tuned to Pro Shaper Workshop for more updates on this cutting-edge project. Subscribe to our channel for a front-row seat to the fusion of art, technology, and automotive excellence as Wray brings the AI-designed Alfa Romeo to life.

This is going to be the greatest thing in the history of builds on the internet, I can't wait.
My lunch hour with lunch at my desk got so much better. i can't wait for the next video...
The transaxle was used in a couple of different models from 1972-1992, the GTV6 and twin spark 75 and perhaps some other car has an LSD. This will be an interesting project indeed! Big thumbs up Wray!! 💪👍🖖
The Zagato Monster had the same underpinnings
Awesome!
This is going to be AWESOME!!!! I am dreaming about building the Packard Straight Eight Grand Prix Special. I have a Packard chassis and drivetrain so the body is next
This will be a super series Wray, thanks for thinking this out!
👍💪✌
Great project Wray! Big thanks for sharing with us. Just one small detail, I'm hoping you don't mind. At the back of the dedion axle, it's a watts link, not a panhard rod, which is even better. I cannot wait for parts 3,4,5, etc 😀 Greetings from Europe.
I love a GTV6. Pretty unique donor for a scratch built car... Sub'd for updates!
Appreciate your comment, hope you enjoy the build.
It's nice when good parts from a rusted car can be given a new life.
Great, this will probably be a full build video, like the the repair of the Austin-Healey...still waiting.
I think it's a good idea for youtube creators to put out a video on the same day each week, fans can look forward to seeing the video, just like a favorite t.v. show
Keep in mind that the driveshaft turns at engine RPM. Orientation of the bolting flange for the rubber donut on the drive
shaft spline is critical for balance. If orientation was not marked before disassembly you may still be able to determine the original position from paint or dirt if the parts have not been cleaned yet. Good Luck. Great Project.
Witness Marks can be from odd shaped washers, bolts or mechanical fittings. Many parts are not perfectly round and usually have some anomaly's. Great Channel, i want to take one of Wray's classes.
This will be the greatest love letter to Alfa Romeo ever written. The car is beautiful. The gtv6 Busso engine will run and sound perfect. The engine is a little heavy, you will have to work to balance the car. That is why Alfa Romeo put the transaxle in the rear, and I think it is also the reason they used a torsion tube for the front springs. I’ll love watching your progress on this great project!🏆🎉
Great project, can’t remember when I last saw a GTV here in UK 👍
Could get carburetor setup from the Alfa 6 or South African GTV6 3.0 .
That engine could be a 3.0 litre , cause it has the ribbed valve covers... I think the 2.5 had smooth ones.
*stolen from the internet* "In U.S. trim, the aluminum head and block 60-degree V-6 makes 154 horsepower and 157 pound-feet of torque. And to clear the top of the intake, the hood on a GTV-6 has an angular bulge topped by a piece of plastic to distinguish it from four-cylinder versions." Soooo excited to see this build progress!
Isn't this the Busso 90° V-6 engine?
That prototype looks like it will be a million dollar car, ready for the Pebble Beach, Monterey California car show. Dry ice blasting those motor, and front and rear suspension units might save some time and you wouldn't need to dissemble as much, and your hands would stay cleaner while working with them, measuring, etc.
edit forgot to mention I had the idea those original wheels were Campagnolo and might be forged alloy rather than cast. If so they would polish up really well and maintain their value. I tried a search but couldn't find them, doubtless your Alfa guy will know
I'm looking forward to this video series because I got exactly this far with my project (based on a different car) and then wasn't sure how to proceed (apart from taking your class, that is!) Years went by quickly while I was busy with other things. In the meantime I have second-guessed my choices such as base vehicle, power train, and even the overall goal. This video series is already helping re-motivate me because for every doubt my mind could raise for my project, there's a comparison I could draw to what you're doing here that dissolves that possible objection.
Great project Wray and your team. I watch with interest and learn so much. Thank you for sharing.
Great project.
It’s gonna be great - can’t wait!
This is gonna be fun to watch! Pardon me, but that is technically a watts link not a panhard setup. Just words but a difference as a watts locates the rear to the centerline whereas a panhard can push the centerline.
I had an Alfa Milano with this engine, it was a sweet unit. Imho the drivetrain would be good in a 105 series GTV.
Nice Update. Looking Forward to upcoming Videos.

So sweat! I love this stuff!
I owned an '82 GTV6 back in the day and much more recently an '89 Milano Verde which had the 3.0 version of the Busso V6. Same drivetrain layout for both. If you have the opportunity to get the later 4 cam / 24v version of that engine, grab it! They sound truly wicked and made more power. If you need any technical assistance, please contact me. I know a lot about these cars & engines. I'd be glad to help.
We will have to take you up on that, I appreciate your help!
The Alfa transaxle has the clutch in unit, as did the Lancia Aurelia and Flaminia. All the other modern cars with front engine and transaxle which I can think of have the clutch at the engine - Porsche 924, 944, 968, 924, Chevrolet Corvette C5, C6. Not sure about the Ferrari 550, 275 GTB and 330 GTC
Edit - I wrote Porsche 924 a second time when I meant to write '928', the V8 four-seater GT
This is gonna be good...👍👍
Many thanx Wray.
Fantastic project.
This will be such a fun build 😍
love this series!
Looks good i will keep an eye on your channel,like and Subscribe thanks
So the prop shaft turns permanently at engine speed ?
Yes.
Don't use the torsion bars install coil overs instead
I was thinking the same.
@@proshaper Have a look at the Alfa SZ same platform with coil overs from factory
I've rebuilt old classics, convert to modern tech when time and space allows. And $$$!
👍👍😎👍👍
Just wondering how do you get a title for project cRs
In the US not a lot of trouble to register a scratch- build.
