Research

I may have mentioned on the forum at some point that I had a passion for Aston Martin. My favourite of the bunch has always been the DB4 GT. A shortened, lightened and more powerful version of the standard car. It's performance and handling startled roadtesters back in 1960. It still does. The pictures below show a fair amount of information gathered over a number of years. Measurements, angles, sketches, sections, curves. Pretty much everything I could see on the car was noted. The idea was to build a 1/8th scale model. Well life got in the way and it's did'nt get completed. No real surprise. But the information is now coming in very useful.
