I rather favor the red car treatment.

Is anyone going the the Sonoma Historic races in June? I'm seriously considering going probably not as crowded as Monterey.

I've noticed on several builds. That the tunnel for the gear shift & hoses? Just stops about the dash bulk head. Why? It seems to me that if it was brought all the way to the front bulk head & tied in. It would act as a "back bone" & add torsional & longitudinal strength instead of just being an...

Been working on the nose this week. I didn't like the "Chevron happy car" look or the angularity. So I added about 5" to it & completely reshaped it. Remade the headlight buckets, made them longer & deeper so I can put a turn signal light under the head light. Also building a ledge for the head...

I was just surfing through "Lotus" on ebay & noticed a couple of Elise chassis for sale. Interesting little units. I wonder if you could adapt a body (say Mclaren Mk6) to it? Just one of those what ifs? LOL

I've heard about the coffee & cars but never been there. Are they still doing it? Where? When? Thanks Mike

Cute kid make'3 me miss my Grandson (also a blondie) who's also 3. Nice car too. What's the white partial car in the background? A Porsche?

When you say "OEM or Factory" do you mean the current Ford GT their making? Or originally?

Michel actually I went back & looked there may be as many as 10. A couple that are hard to tell for sure LOL But it sure shows the dominance of Lotus (number of cars in the field) in the class at that time. The smaller engined cars were often more adgile in the turns & baking over the heavier V8...

Interesting aside from the Lola, I count 7 Lotus 23s in the third pic.

Partly depends on how interested you are in the proper/authentic look of the engine. For me there wouldn't be any question the 302 as the originals had. Of course you could opt for a bigger small block & still have the same look. For me it just kills it to look under the hood of a beautifully...

Wow looking great Fred. On the rear: you could do what a friend of mine did on his race car. He'd put pins in horizontally in the fire wall. So the edge of the rear section couldn't lift during high speed from air pressure under the hood. On the rear support that was also the pivot. He made it...

Oh it's a lovely day in the neighborhood, we have tiltage !!!!!!!!!!!!!. I reached one of those mile stone you think will never come. I cut loose the nose so it can pivot or be removed. I'd put two heim/rose joints beneath the radiator & made brackets that bolt to the underside of the nose when...

Thanks Fred but after these I think I'll be set for tail lights. Get on with your Lola will ya? We miss your updates. Cheers Mike

been doing some renovations on the house if I need an excuse. That's only acceptable if it includes a bigger garage LOL We miss your updates on such a cool car. Cheers Mike

Fred oh Fred where are you? What's up with the car? You left us all dangling on your progress.

Thanks Mark I tried the email address you said. But it bounced back undeliverable

Ok I decided to get other red tail lights LOL These have the chrome rings & are double element bulbs. I hadn't payed much attention when I ordered the other ones (not uncommon for me LOL) they are only 2 wire single element bulbs. The yellow ones took off the front of the car (turn signals) are...

Just out of curiosity: Is anyone making the M6 Gt coupe these days? I haven't seen anything about one in quite a while. They used to be pretty popular in various incarnations like the Manta or Coyote? I prefer coupes as street cars like the T70 or M6.

Welcome to the forum. Go ahead & ask questions, like most car guys we like to talk about them nearly as much as building or driving them. The future starts with a dream so go big.
