    My Lotus build

    Bought my new "Rhino" trans case & side plates & wheels & tires this week. Getting the frame & susp. tacked together & figuring things out. Re-did some of the things I'd done before & didn't really like (I'm my own worst enemy/critic). If it doesn't LOOK the way I think it should I'll re-do it...

    My Lotus build

    I just got a new set of hub bearings. I think they'll be ok since I don't plan on racing it or doing anything too harsh with it. If the bearings don't hold up I'll just get some different ones & have the seats machined out to take them. I've decided to go back to at the wheel disk brakes. It'll...

    My Lotus build

    Been chopping steel & grinding & welding the last few days. Took some time to drive to Riverside this afternoon to pick up a new trans case. Went to get the wheels too but couldn't find the damned place. Guess they don't believe in signs so you can find them. I'll call again tomorrow & get...

    Fran I may be fantacizing but what would one of you coupe bodies & windshiled & windows run shipped to California?

    Lola T70 body wanted

    One reason I asked about it being an RCR body. Is that their windshields might not actually fit (or a "real" T70) for that matter. You never know exactly how accurate a repro is compared to an original or someone elses "copy". Not that I'm a stranger to fiberglass & doing modifications to it.

    Lola T70 body wanted

    Any idea of shipping cost to California? I don't know anything about shipping such a thing. Price sounds reasonable is it an RCR body? Yes frame doesn't look too great.

    CANAMSA - SA stratch build

    If I had some down drafts that's what I'd do too. But I have several side draft delortos & webers. Maybe I can find somebody to swap with LOL Just bought a pair of Ofenhauser valve covers. What transaxle are you useing? Love your build I think it'll be a great car. The Rover/buick is a good...

    Sinkhole in the National Corvette Museum

    They should be able to recover the cars with a crane. I'm sure they can restore any damage that has been done to the cars. They've restored cars in a lot worse shape I'm sure.

    My Lotus build

    With the new V8 engine & wanting to use much bigger tires(was looking at some 295 50 15s today). I'm retinking using inboard brakes & go with outside ones. I'm a little leary of the torque on the rear axle from the inertia of a larger wider tire. The car itself won't be very heavy but I don't...

    My Lotus build

    My Kennedy adapter kit came this evening. So I'm a happy camper. Did some cutting & welding today (still haven't gotten my nickel/bronze rod). Have to do some squaring up though one frame horn bulled in a bit. But nothing that can't be fixed.

    My Lotus build

    Hi John thanks yes I'm well aware of Banks LOL I've looked a lot at the pix of the tube chassis he's built. I've though about scrapping this frame for a tube one. One of my big concerns with the Europa. Is there is no side structure but the body fiberglass. I'm old school & not much into...
