Lotus Type 77/78
Chris Smith replied to Chris Smith's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
No golf for this guy...I don’t need another expensive/time consuming hobby. just a quick update I probably spent a couple of hours drilling the holes out for the rivets. I found out from my friend Bruce (brudda) I need to get a tumbler that polish’s brass to use on the white metal parts. This way I can make it as realistic as I can. Also need some metric drill bits fun times coming Chris -

Looks really good! I like a well behaved serpent -
I have been collecting parts for this build for about a year of searching on e bay. I was just going to do the 78 version with the after market parts I collected. But one morning I stumbled on a MFH conversation kit. So here I am, I don’t know how long this will take. I just hope I can do it justice by taking my time. I will not be using the rain tires. That’s about it. I started on the fuel cell. I spent about 45 min filing and drilling for the rivets. And I am not even close to being ready for primer.

Looks great!! I am a little hesitant to try weathering. I feel it’s a art form all on it’s own. Waiting for your next update -
Looks great! You should be proud

Thanks Tim... All I need is a machinist to make some cool parts.. who knows where things will go. I was playing around with the portrait settings on my I phone ? Hope to see a update on your amazing project! Chris -
Very cool! I saw a couple of these run in Monterey a few years ago

Thank you all for your kind words. I agree on the tail pipes...There will be a 2.0 version down the road

I agree I must see this movie as well

It’s a Tamiya kit, added some extra detail that wasn’t in the kit. I think MFH makes a 1/20

Thank you all!!

I have spent the better part of 2 years on this build. I do have a thread in the Big boys section. Hope you like Chris

Hello all. After a couple of years of off and on time to put this build together, I finally have finished. I will say the journey has been fun, frustrating and a big learning experience. After looking over the finished product I have decided that I will re do this car again. I see some room for improvement! I would like to say thanks to all that have posted kind words. It does mean a lot!! And for all you people out there just stopping by, Thank you as well. I will be soon starting another project soon. Chris -

I got the rear wing installed, windshield & I put the nose on just for the pictures. All I have left to do is rear view mirrors and wheels and tires... With the rain and cold weather I will have to wait. Thanks again for your kind words. It does mean a lot to me. Chris -

Looks like it fell right into place! Was it a plumbing nightmare?
