Very cool Chris I enjoyed looking at your build log before. Haven't checked it out lately though.

Great day to get your baby back home. I saw a guy with a Tee shirt a few years ago. I though it was great "Forget the kitchen. How big is the garage?" LOL

Yes I've heard of it. Haven't used it before but will look into it I'm sure Chrystaliner (my FG supplier) will have it.

Thanks Chris yes that's what I usually use is a 2k primer then the paint over that & wax the crap out of it LOL I'm not using much in the way of wood. Just the rear bulkhead (tail) where I want a very flat surface (slightly curved). So the factor of expansion & contraction of the wood from...

Well I guess todays work would be filed under "ya gotta do what ya gotta do" LOL I thought I had the rear fenders just about the way I wanted them. But after cutting the wheel arches yesterday. I became a bit concerned with the amount of clearance above the tires. So today I added a piece of 1...

Bat Man Bat Man da da da LOL Looks very cool. Leave it alone if you keep fooling around with it you'l never finish it (ask me how I know LOL). Second guessing yourself can drive you crazy.

Furan is designed for the application you have. Are you sure of that? I looked it up & it's for foundry use as a binder for sand casting. Thanks but think I'll stay with what I know & know where to get the materials.

Well the buck needs to be perfectly smooth & just the way I want the surface. Before I take the mold from it. So painting it is about the best way to get that surface I know of. I can wet sand & polish it to a mirror finish. I suppose if I used an epoxy primer I might get away with it being...

Will probably use a resin based primer for the final stages (wet sanding) before paint.

Sand paper's cheap LOL

Bought some of that fast setting dry wall mud. They have some that's supposed to set up in 5 min. That's almost as fast as bondo. If this rain will clear & give me some working time. I'll give it a try.

I'd say semimono there's a lot of tubing in it. Could be reproed in space frame though

Great looking custom steering wheel. Love the wood grain look LOL Coming along great. Makes me what to get finished with My Lotus body work. So I can get back to the chassis & susp.

I've noticed that even people who know better. When conducting interviews will as "dumb" questions of make those comments. As a lead to the person they're interviewing to "correct" them. I'm sure Jay knew better & where the gas tanks actually were. Great car & would really be cool if somebody...

David you're as bad as I am. Been about 2 years anything done? I started back in on My Lotus.

Just found out about your thread. Looks like we're in much the same boat LOL Just can't leave things alone as they were designed (Ford has a better idea?). Aint foam grand? Been way remodeling my Lotus Europa ala Lola T70/Chevron B16. Check out my thread My Lotus Build in wings, wheels & keels...

Very interesting build. Very cool. It looks like what he has to work with has more flat surfaces that the foam can be more firmly attached to. With the Lotus most of the surfaces are round & hard to attach the foam to firmly. Mostly I use a spray adhesive for that & the foam isn't super stable...

Yes I'll take a mold off the front & rear sections. To make new ones that will be openable (tilt). Only the center (cockpit) section will remain from the original body.

Next up will be working on the spoilers & frame around the rear tail lights & opening in the center ala T70. Tail lights I think will be the round "beehive" type as on the t70 but with the addition of an amber turn indicator. 2 red & an amber, not sure if I'll put in clear back up lights & have...

Been getting some work done in between rainy days. The rear is coming together & shaping up nicely I think.
