That reminds me, are you going to GSL in April Mark? Im going to try and save up the funds to fly out there. It will be tough with college, but I'd love to meet you and take a ride in this Seven.

Bill, Ismael, You may want to check out www.onlinemetals.com as they have all sorts of metals and some plastics. I order all of my material for them. There is no minimum purchase, they have a wide variety of material, and they do can cut custom lengths. Shipping runs about $10 from the beginning, so add as much as you can to balance out the shipping. I've also found that the hardware material is more impure than the stuff from online metals. Especially the brass. The best aluminum to get good results is 6061 T651 heat treated. The aluminum is very dense, and polishes up to a mirror finish. It turns really nicely too. Also, when shoping for brass look for 360 H02. This machines beautifully and machines a fine powder instead of big chips. Online Metals carry both of the aboved grades of aluminum and brass. Ismael, if you have an aluminum supplier try to get 6061 T6. Other aluminums, 2024, 3003, 5052, dont produce nice finishes. Also, anything less than a T6 heat treat wont have a nice finish. I've never tried 7075 on my lathe yet, so I dont know about it. Though, any good aluminum supplier should carry 6061 T6 as its one of the most common kinds of aluminum.

Are you using wiring diagrams to assemble this beast?

Looks pretty good. When did you get a lathe? Oh, dont bother using the center in the tail stock for most pieces. I cant say that I have ever needed to use it. You should be well on your way now.

Scale them. Figure out what size bolt, divide by 24 or 25 depending on the scale. Only way to really be accurate.

Hey Andy! Glad to have you hear as well. Hows that 300C coming along?

Bill thats a wonderful color! Suits the car well.

I had a chance to look at yesterday at our ACME meeting, great issue. I wish you the best of health Gregg.

The paint is a really weird Acrylic Enamel. Bob Downie, myself and a friend tried three different clears on it before finding one that wouldnt react. Its one of the Gunze paints (504 Gloss maybe?), ask Bob about it to be sure.

How many of these kits do you have?

Cool project. Be careful with that paintscratch. It doesnt seem to like clear coat.

Just use a lot of TS13 instead.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful build with us.

I've found out his secret in building, and heres the proof.

I expect to see the dyno sheet when its done.

Im going to quit stating the obvious, but I do have a question for you. Whats with the cones and hemispheres sticking out? Is that for it to glue on to the engine and filters?

I wonder if Gregg or Jairus edited it?

What in the world is going on in this thread? It sounds like a reissue thread, and then it sounds like a post your work area thread with my work area. :?

I love the side scoop. It was hard to tell what was done to the body. In my opinion, thats the best way to design. I go by the virtue of: "If people ask what I did, then what I've done belongs with the car. It doesnt stand out, and I've done my job right." Great work. The background is magnificent as well.

Or just likes to be difficult? Did I say that...I meant different.

Dag65 is it? Welcome aboard mate.

Eh? Spam?

I love that color! The color suits the car very well.
