Another Super 7

[Codi]

Mark, what a way to wrap up the year with it's completion. The entire thread has been inspiring to follow. What are you going to do for your next build if I may ask?

Happy New Year!

Tim

[Scale-Master]

Thanks Tim. This one won't be finished this year. Maybe in a couple months or so.

I think I'll make a '73 Camaro next, but not to this caliber.

I made the worm drives for the radiator hose clamps and added the front brake soft lines. Looks a little dusty…

[Scale-Master]

The worm screws for the fuel lines (and other smaller diameter low pressure hoses) were even more fun to make. My camera is having a difficult time capturing them.

Good Lord. Is there a Lotus/Caterham museum for this?

[Twokidsnosleep]

Those webber carbs are beautiful

[exesivefire]

Awesome again

There is a mantra used in modeling circles that says to treat every part or sub-assembly as a model itself. You are one of the few who actually accomplish this. Every part on this masterpiece has been subjected to your amazing touch. Well done!

[Scale-Master]

Thank you guys!

I finally finished painting the hood, ironic to me since it is the last main body part, and the first part I made for it.

[NormL]

I check in with this build every once in a while and all I can say is I am staggered! The ingenious ways that I see you create parts. My eyes are still ringing with reading that you made your own worm gears for the hose clamps ... I get the feeling that if I left you alone with some iron ore, bauxite, nylon and rubber, I would come back to a completed car and not be surprised if it could run

[Scale-Master]

Thanks Norm, that is very kind of you to say.

Gear shifter. 2.25 inch diameter ball. Same size as a pool ball… Ready for paint.

[Tony T]

Stunning work, Mark...it sure is coming together! Thanks, for sharing this build and your skills...fabulous!

[cowell]

Wow

[Scale-Master]

Thanks guys, glad to share...

I added an indent for the license plate so I could add a light for it.

Mark, this is nearing a very sad stage mate.......

Before we realize, you will have this masterpiece sitting on your shelf and the updates will dry up.....

But, until then, I am savoring every update and enjoying them immensely, thank you.

[Scale-Master]

Thanks for the kind thoughts and words Greg!

7 Ball shift knob.

The hood has been final waxed and buffed. I installed the under hood blanket and added a little dusty dirt to the underside too. I still need to add the tabs to the latches but will do that later since they are delicate as (I learned from knocking them off the nose piece).

[cobraman]

I admire your dedication to this project as well as the talent to pull it off to this level of detail. I have enough trouble just trying to do a decent looking model using kit pieces.

[Foxer]

That shift knob has put me on my knees in adoration. )) Totally enjoying you taking us through this wonder .. ")

[Scale-Master]

Thanks guys, glad you are enjoying it too.

The rear panel and taillights are shaping up…

[sjordan2]

Continually unbelievable. I'd love to see what you would do with a vintage street car.

Continually unbelievable. I'd love to see what you would do with a vintage street car.

Thanks. And I've already done that. It's in my garage under a cover begging to be driven more.

[Scale-Master]

This is the license plate and back-up light. It has a clear lens with white fluting on the inside.

[Danno]

Stupendous! Mark, your work just constantly bankrupts the vocabulary.

[Scale-Master]

Thanks Dan!

The tail light panel is almost all wired up and a bit of dusty dirt has been added. I’m not sure this will even be visible once installed.
