LOLA T70 scratch build...

Hi Marcus.
What spec are you planning for the engine? If you need any info, I did build a few of the continuation car engines for various series, so know what goes and what doesn't. Masters wouldn't be a prob if you had FIA passport,but CER won't even allow continuation cars, unless you are Richard Mille of course.
Good to see you got your brakes sorted, although Bob (BG) is being a bit naughty selling those as the patterns and tooling are all owned by Lola. I had heard a rumour that he was selling them as 'GT40' brake kits so that made it OK.
Thats it for now.

Prying ah ah inquiring minds want to know.For trial reasons I´ve now had my first set of panels made from the digital files.
I was quite amazed how quickly it went...from sending the email with the files to getting the call for picking up the laser-cut parts only 2 hrs. elapsed. The quality and the accuracy of the parts turned out beautifully and to my delight they all fit precisely with the cast cross members.

Ähem...no.
The process of finishing and bending the rear shock towers is a bit tricky because I could only flare the holes before bending yet bending the sheet metal with the holes flared is then another story...
...here are the intermediate results so far:

Picture 3 shows a hole at the bottom right that is in a bend.
A crack is going to start there.

Scott,
many thanks for your advice.
The bottom holes will all get reinforced by welded and threaded bushes.
Hope this will be O.K. then...
Best,
Marcus
Ahoi Keith...good question
Hope to take the car to your place one day with Dave being strapped either into the passenger seat or onto the roof :thumbsup:
Starting now to rig up the fixture.
I begin with the front bulkhead as all dimensions of the chassis (the ones I´d been given, anyway) have the front bulkhead as a reference point. Then the other bulkheads will be positioned and then fixed according to the dimensions.
It took me the better part of the day just to align and fix the upper cross beam of the front bulkhead.
