  1. Changes to engine bay frame mounts - but this is close to what I’ll need …
  2. The Moss car needs a special gear selector casing that teams used with the Collotti transaxle - this is mounted on the right side of the cockpit - team Lotus used a different setup for their gearbox choices.
  3. Not all Weber side draft carbs are created equal - these - by SP - are correct for many of the private team Lotus 18s - including the Moss Monaco winner … the manifold is angled up to allow the carbs to clear the horizontal frame member -
  4. Every so often I stumble upon a cutaway that I had forgotten about - the top drawing by Bennett is less well known than the Allington cutaway below Its a depiction of the late '62 season Weber Carbed 25 - James Allington did at least two separate cutaways of the 25 - this one is the early season 25 with the full engine and trans cover - this is the car I want to make first - and the bottom drawing - done for The Motor - by Collins - is also quite good - again depicting the early '62 season 25 - thats what I want to be when I grow up - an automotive cutaway artist - - -
  5. Workshop first … IMSA Mustang second …
  6. Colorus nicus per Pierre - consider some Tamiya washes …
  7. No you can’t - - thought - - clear “resin” is coming on line for 3D printing - is this an option ?? This is so cool …
  8. Engine w cyl head mockup - epoxied - to check the mounting height in the frame -
  9. Springs are a PITA this one is from railroad scale guys - Precision Scale - correct width but too short -
