-
- Good look at the balsa-wood placeholder. This gives you an idea of where the finished lines will be.
-
- Note the non-horseshoe grill, similar to the Type 57SC
-
- Sporting leaf springs and dampers, the Type 64 sits on the cusp of old and new
-
- About the most beautiful radiator cap you're likely to see
-
- Everyone loves wire wheels with knock off hubs.
-
- An exceedingly beautiful fuel rail
-
- Elegant yet relatively primitive steering box. Note the cotter pins holding the nuts in place. The fancier the Bugatti, the more cotter pins you'll find.
-
Part of the frame, and part of the exceedingly pretty intake manifold
-
- Looks comfy
-
-
- Check out that steam punk rear end! This might be the world's best looking pumpkin. Also, as is the Bugatti way, notice how there's a bout twenty bolts holding the rear axle in place -- per side
