Matt's Stradale

and rear section altered to accommodate original uprights, and A pillars changed in steel which was a challenge but hopefully the view out will be worth it.

Nice progress !!!

Thank! Slow but at least we're getting there and it should speed up when the tub is complete which it almost is...

Nice progress and a great build!
Really an amazing car with stradale wheels and Dino engine!!
Is it a 2.4 or 2.0 L ?... from Fiat Dino or maybe Ferrari one?!

Thanks - engine and gearbox are from a 246GT so 2,418cc but with a Stratos inlet manifold and matching carbs (40IDFs) in place of the usual 40DCNF Webers. And, air conditioning (I'm old...) which remains a controversial challenge (you can see the compressor sticking out the bottom held in place by a weird tripod bracket).

That's really an incredible challenge to build a car like yours... With a lot of original parts from real car and a Ferrari Dino engine ... And air conditionning! Almost a real Stradale with modern improvements!!
Congrats

A Stratos replica should have a Dino engine, otherwise it's just a kit car....
Next best Ferrari 308, shares loads of components.
Alfa V6 may be a better engine, but nothing like a Stratos.....
