They are calculating the work needed adding more than they think things will cost in this estimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e1.The chassis is going to be made by GILCO who made the original chassis. GILCO has already approved the build. The original car was chassis number 0284AM. They said, if approved, their idea of putting the number 0284AM\/2 on the chassis, they could do that. That would give the chassis an identity and at the same time show it as not the original. The original 0284AM car is for sale at 8,000,000 euros as of Dec. 2021. It is in a collection in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003eThe basic chassis costs only 45,000 euros. Mounting of the body to the chassis is as complex as making the body in the first place. It includes making a firewall and foot boxes, double wall like the original. It is not present with the other engine compartment panels we already have. Daniele has figured on the high side at 60,000 euros. One consideration will be whether you would like the car to be RHD or LHD. Not price wise though merely where you’d like the steering to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e2.Daniele calculated 150,000 euros to make and install the complete, quite special differential, all the correct brakes and all the front suspension including making the steering box. I calculate 60,000 euros for the differential, 35,000 euros for the brakes and 50,000 for the front suspension. We are both in the same ball-park, I think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e3.New Borranis I have made by hand in Europe though not at Borrani. The manufacturer typically uses thicker stainless steel spokes instead of regular chromed steel and stamped stainless steel polished centers. It is not original for sure though because they are stronger than the original Borranis, they are easily accepted on FIA approved cars. Many cars that run Goodwood and other venues in Europe use these same wheels. They also cost a lot less than the Borrani. About $1000 less each. Figure about only $2600 each. When done for us, they have the correct Borrani RW numbers and are indistinguishable from the Borrani except for the stainless spokes and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e4.Pirelli Cinturato tires 16”. FIA might allow non original tires. We have to ask. The original Pirelli Cinturato are currently priced at $369.00 or a little less each, here in the states. (depends on size selected) Let’s calculate $2000 for these purchased in the USA. That is sometimes wise as our prices are less expensive here than in Italy even. We could ship them with the body eventually. England might be less expensive also. There is the Brexit tax to consider for export eventually to find the best solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e1.For a correct aluminum gas tank, figure 15,000 euros on the high side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e2.Assembly of the car, disassembly of the car after tested so it can be painted, and then re-assembly after paint is 60,000 euros, again on the high side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e3.Radiator as original, 5000 euros\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e4.Muffler system as original 5000 euros\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e5.Paint, both inside and out including the chassis is 35,000 euros.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e10.Rebuilding of the instruments and bench testing 1,000 to 3000 euros. The project already includes the original instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"\u003e11.Correct taillights 1000 to 1500 euros. The Marchal headlights and buckets we already have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003e12.Correct wiring harness 5,000 to 6,000 euros. The wiring harness by itself is 4000 euros as part of this estimate. The vintage relays, dash switches and knobs and other electrical components make up the rest and exact prices are unknown until we find them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003e13. We already have the new steering wheel with proper horn button.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003eAs in the other projects they have done for me in the past, they are nice enough to calculate the time it needs to do each component and give me a payment schedule, usually so much per month. Some months it is less than other months. It works really well knowing what will be needed to keep the project moving steadily ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Straight out of Italy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50868129530171,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7761\/6699\/files\/Page_showing_the_win_at_the_MM_cropped.jpg?v=1766164662","url":"https:\/\/greatgaragegear.com\/products\/340mm-mille-miglia-winner-project-car","provider":"Great Garage Gear \u0026 Associates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
