Comparison with gun might be a bit "borderline" no? What a comparison again! Your own private arsenal, with the one carried by soldiers, enroled into a country's army, and engaged into a declared war??? WTF? I, as a french, know how much we owe the Yanks for landing in Normandie, and kicking...

Hey Marcus! Any progress on your build? Did you manage the bending issues? Olivier

Solidworks is a MECHANICAL design software. If your job is to actually design glasses frames, I think you'll find much more efficients softwares for your activity than SW. SW is great if you plan to design an engine, a plane a car or whatever mechanical. I don't think if it well oriented for...

Ian, I have used (at least tried) both 3D scanning and 3D printing. If I may suggest you something which is NOT into your options: - Get a good 3D design software, maybe not the mechanical one, but more like used by designers (Rhino? 3DS Max) and get a good training. So that you'll be able to...

Same sh*t here in France: it is virtually impossible to mod a serial car. The car shall remain in all points faithfull to the factory specs. If you choose to put extra wide tires and extra wide rims, which the car wasn't homologated for, you're outlaw, and if you have an accident, and if...

If I may, I think you're wrong... This is rather a very mart ay to compact things, like an old broken Quad.

I'm in! I want multiple orgasms ability too! Gender equality!

when you say "own a real t70" do you mean a genuine lola produced car of the 60's? If not, my vote goes to Marcus!

EXCELENT! Because of you, I have been found laughing my ass off, alone behind my office computer!

Everybody knows this story I assume... Unlawful replica of a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL destroyed | Daimler Global Media Site > Classic > Mercedes-Benz Cars > Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars > SL-Class I don't know Ferrari's policy. I have the dream to build a porsche 906. I was silly enough to tell...

Ah ah! I also sometime experience the "F**k! Why is there a supplementary nut now that I have reassembled the whole thing????" More seriously, if it is a shim, and if it is missing somwhere, you could ruin your expensive gearbox!!! Shimming gears IE pinion/ring is pretty important.for setting...

+1 with Doc, looks like a shim washer. If I were you, I'd try to contact them directly with the exact dimensions of the shim, and ask them what it could be... http://www.ricardo.com/en-GB/Who-we-are/Contact-us/ Olivier.

Matt! Yes we-ve been in touch! Nice to read you. I could help with the windows, but the doors are a very different story! I'd be glad to come an take molds, but US isn't next door... Unfortunatelly. There are some guys, like Emory (thanks Cleefbeer!), but I fear they won't help any replica...

Salut Thierry, Thanks for the link, I have sent an email just for my curiosity... There is already someone working on the body, on my friend's side. But it is very hard to tell if the parts which have been sourced were accurate or not. He has spent a lot of time fitting correctly the front...

Hi Anton, thanks for your message! Progress: Not much to show actually. Money is a problem, as EVERYTHING is f***ing expensive on these cars. So, I am still collecting data. I should have a couple of little parts done in the coming months. Rear brake plate, and a little lever used on the...

AFAIK, the problem with this kind of process are the joints. Maybe they came up with a smart idea and lower these issues? Personally, I find it smart. Imagine, design your chassis on your computer, if you can, perform some computations. THen send some dxf files to them, and a few weeks later...

Hi Marcus! you should try to take a look @ this link. Bending Springback Calculator Unfortunatelly it is in inches... this article also looks interesting. Bending Basics: The hows and whys of springback and springforward - TheFabricator.com I guess you had this part cad designed, as the rest...

Marcus, What's the issue? I can't understand looking at your pictures... BTW, very nice parts! Olivier.

Hi Rune. Yes, please!!! Post more pictures!!! Great job so far!

Hi Bune! Thanks for sharing your progress. It would be great to see some global pix of the mono. I would also be curious (even if I know this is not your business) to learn what ever hapenned to the chassis built by Goran. Thanks a lot Olivier.
