Nice. You’re off to a good start ….
-
The bulkhead at the back of the monocoque carries the suspension and cites the transaxle - the AMT kit part - In the second photo - is the guide …. Made from 2 sheets of .030 Evergreen sheet and some more bits for the extensions for the suspension links …
-
Pegs in the front corners - .025 plastic rod - hope I can make this removable so I can show off the monocoque detail once it’s done …. The tank has a filler cap - but that won’t be made till the removable body work is done ….
-
Using Renshape - it’s asymmetric because the radiator return pipe runs down the left side of the chassis on its way back to the radiator …. There is a channel on the bottom foR the steering wheel shaft …
-
The AMT 29 kit has a scuttle tank part. Sort of …. More like an afterthought - maybe they neveR got a look at the tank - that’s not even close …

nice

Thank you for showing…. Will gladly pay a visit - but I’ll need your assurance that those shrunken heads on the workbench aren’t what’s left of your past shop visitors …. Don’t you wish that we had basements ? When we took Florida from the Spaniards they probably shrugged and said Here - take it ! - you can’t do basements ….

Love the instrument panel …
-
This picture is a screen grab from the Indy Museum Gurney 29 resto - the car is green because the Gurney 29 was repainted at some point following its retirement - this was corrected by the Museum during last year’s resto …

This is what it’s supposed to look like. Next is either the top gas tank and/or the steering link …

Another coat of primer and making and attaching the pedal brackets and fluid reservoirs for the brake pedal. Had to move some of these features so that all three pedals are located within the narrow foot box opening - and the steering shaft runs a little crooked to sneak by the brake pedal - several Lotus open wheelers did this …
-
Nope. Share away. I’ve noticed less comments in general in past two months or So - But we’re still lurking …. And gawking ….
-
Warm ? WARM ?? It’s 82 right now - 11:24 PM. If you are set up in your garage - and it is not air conditioned - I’m guessing you are doing most Of your machining in the early morning …. Unless you’ve figured out a way to keep the squiters away late at nite …. Nice work. By the way …
-
Back fr vacation and back to work - corrections to the bulkhead and some added detail - I’ve added short pegs so the I can get a reliable bond to the monocoque - which also needs some corrections …
-
Great call. Pattos makes decals that no one else would ever produce. Leaning towards making mine one of the Sebring entries. Maybe slate blue …

Wheels look good. I think you mite have something here … -
And they are not cheap - but Profil24’s D type kits are really, really, really good …
-
Yes. Very nice. And by the way. The Ecurie squad raced a short nose too …
-
The pedals were suspended from housings riveted to the bracket that the rockers pivot from … same arrangement as on the Lotus 25 …. These were made from filed Evergreen square stock and strip … the kit part had two lumps without any real features …
-
Some changes to the base of the pedal box to better match the run if the pipe cutouts on the base of the monocoque …
-
Good to hear that you got your son interested - my kids got game boys when they were ten and it was all over …. Any way - the rocker arms - the right side arm may be a scale inch too long - gonna have to do some more assembly to make sure that I keep the wheelbase correct …
-
We could start a chant … Lola , Lola, Lola, Lola … ?
-
And a happy Father’s Day to all who encouraged their sons to build model kits …. How’d THAT turn out …. ??? ??
-
This was made with sheets and strips of Evergreen - .020 and .030 with a channel strip at the base - all liquid glued together and finished with sanding sticks. The brown parts left and right are some bits of renshape …
