Besides my Lotus build. I've decided to get back on track with my 56 Chevy pickup resto/mod. I've had it for over 20 years & had repainted the cab & front. But then got stalled by life (raising 3 boys etc). A couple of years ago I started to disassemble it again. For restoration but again got...

Was out at Fontana on Sat. & got a couple of shots of a Mclaren M8e (not the greatest shots)

I'm working on my Lotus & would like to make the doors hinge along the front edge like the T70 coupe. Could some body please post some good pix of the hinges? Particularly the one at the door/fendr joint. The top one I assume is more of a balace point to stedy the door. While the main weight &...

I was wondering if any one had looked into/tried a Porsche 944 trans? They are certainly plentiful & cheap. I wonder if one would be strong enough say for a mild small block Chevy or Ford? The 944 turbo in particular.

Hi guys & T70 fans. I need to know how wide a T70 3B coupe body is at the door sills. In inches please I'm mettricly challenged LOL Still trying to figure if one will fit on my Lotus Europa frame 96" wheel base so very close that way. Thanks

I'm looking for a T70 coupe body & DOT windshield (real or copy-kit car?). Together or either by them selves. Particularly the windshield. Thanks

Hey Ya'll I've been away from the forum & my Lotus build for too long. Going to get back into it with a new engine & trans implant. A Buick 215 aluminum V-8 & Porsche Trans.

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...

I'm just currious. I have a Porsche 914 trans that was given to me. One of these days I'd like to build a Can-Am type car. Like A McLaren 1 or 6 or a T-70 spider. Anyone know about how much HP it can take? I'd be looking at something like a Buick/Olds 215 aluminum V-8 slightly warmed nothing...

I decided to start a new thread after I inadvertantly re-named my photo album. Which eliminated the pix I'd posted (the admin. can delete my other thread if they wish). So I had this 71 Lotus Europa I had decided to modify siting in my back yard. I'd had a 69 when I was in college in the early...

For those of you that have the GT 40 with the door tops that are a part of the roof. Could you post me some pictures of how the gutter is molded. Where the door closes against the body what rubber trim do you use/ Supposing that is that your roof/door doesn't leak in the rain/car wash LOL. I...

After reading another thread of a posters problems with a certain builder of his engine & the failure of that engine in a short (rellatively) time. I for one would never have a racing engine company build a street car engine. Yes you'd think they'd know what they're doing. But think about it...

I'm looking for a set of single headlight covers. I think they'd actually fit my project better than the longer 3-Bs. Any condition is ok even to use as patterns. Mike S.

After setting for a couple of years. I decided to get back on my Lotus Europa. I had started the body mods & got the front & rear body sections to hinge the way I wanted. I got tired of leaning over the rear wings to work on the engine. I'd had a 69 when I was in college (this is a 71)& always...

The hand built car show that used to be at Knott's Barry Farm. Is in a couple of weeks out at the LA Co. fair grounds. I'd like to know how many folks from here will be there? What cars might you be bringing? Hopefully some others than Cobras & GT40s & Porsche Spiders. Not that I don't like...

I'd like to find a set of Lola T-703b (long) headlight covers. Even scratched or cracked ones to use as patterns. Thanks Mike S.

I'd like to build a body to go on my Lotus Europa frame (I have the whole car) I'm thinking something like a Lola t70/Chevron B16. Only real draw back to making one or even finding a real body is getting a DOT approved windshield. There are no "factory" main streem cars that have a windshield...

Hey you car lovers. New here, been surfing & lurking, reading some of the build diaries. Some outstanding tallent & knowledge here that's for sure. I don't have any GT 40s (the Shelby Datona coupe is my wife's dream car)but would like to build a Can Am or Le Mans type car & I see Lola & McLaren...
