Still missing in action? How's the project comming? Mike S

well I setlled that decision. I cut the scoop out of the passengers side & glassed it over. I like a clean look & really couldn't justify it in my mind. http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x470/skystone3/Lotus%20build/P1010020.jpg Mike S

You used poly throughout that's fine. I was just concerned about de-lam between after all you hard work. Yes just a dash but you'd not like it to come appart in the future LOL Thanks on the blip about my Lotus. It's getting there slow but sure. I work on it just about every day. Keeps me out...

Great video I watched the one of the T-70s too. Seems they were smoother sounding Chevy vs Ford? A whole lot of popping & backfireing in the corrners. Mike S

What resin did you use with the carbon? It's my understanding it needs to be epoxy. It's also my understanding the exopy & fg resin don't stick to each other. Have you looked into the possability down the road of de-lamination of the two? Looks great just wouldn't want you to have problems after...

Oh almost forgot how about a Lola Or McLaren to round out the field? A T-70 would be nice LOL Mike S

I'm with Randy. Your others are much "cleaner" looking. Great looking art work don't get too "artsy" with them.LOL Mike S.

Now that I've moved the body from one side of my property to the other. Because of complaints about the dust. NOW I'm having issues with the neighbor on the other side over noise! This afternoon I was disc sanding in my yard. He was on the other side of the fence using a table saw. I had to...

Any up-dates Joe? Mike S.

Yes I've played a little with the two part stuff. It does rather have a mind of it's own doesn't it? LOL The spray cans are very expensive for what you get. I buy ridged foam sheets at my local home improvement store (Home Depot). You can get it in 4'X8' sheets from 3/4" to 2" thick. Then spray...

Todays update: I started working on the passenger side. I'd made a mold to make side pods to cover where the body curve ends. Then there's a flat flang that just looks crappy. So I made side pods to cover it & form a door sill. The inside surface is smooth rather than the outside. But when you...

Well to each his own. I'm a Christian & don't care who knows. I believe what I believe & you can believe what you want. I'm Native American/Indian (choose your term) & know what religion when improperly applied can do. It's not those of other faiths that frighten me. They believe at least in a...

Thanks Phil I really like your build thread too. Yes the susp. geo. should be pretty good (I hope). I have a good friend helping me with these things. In particular the machine work. He & I trade work too. I do fiberglass work & mold masters for things like the front uprites on his last race...

Thanks Fred That is pretty much what I thought too. But the type 62 did have both & like I said. Either I put it in on the drivers side. Or I patch over where the one I already put in on the passenger side LOL I have the mold for it & another one made. But heck I still have to cut off & redo the...

Belly up to the 917? LOL Would make a cool wet bar. Yes most of the "car" sofas/love seats. Were made from the rear ends of like 1957 Chevys. You sit in the trunk, but I've seen noses done too. Mike S.

With the new RTV sillicone rubber it's pretty easy to make intricate molds. I used to make carved Ivory pistol grips. Some of them I took molds from. Then used a pourable two part plastic resin. To make copies that looked pretty good. To make a "master" you could wax up & use some mold release...

I'm at the point on my Lotus remodel that I need to decide. Do I put the small scoop in the drivers side? Or fill in the one on the other side? I don't like just buting in things like scoops just to look "cool". They have to be functional & have a reason for being there. The type 47 & 62 had...

Re-inventing the mouse trap? Hell I thought I was the only one doing that? LOL Or was it the Wheel? Just look at my Lotus project! I'm re-inventing the Lotus Europa LOL Mike S.
