Marcus,
I have been contemplating a scratch build of a Lola T70 MkIII Coupe (Right hand drive?) and came across your thread. I am intrigued with the sheet metal monocoque panel work you have been posting. First question: Did you prepare your own set of detail drawings , or aquired them?

Marcus,
I have seen some pattern sets acquired by others that were missing pieces or were just plain incorrect and required the builder to model and fabricate his own make up pieces, something not easily done if you lack the access to the appropriate software or CAD skills.
It looks like you have managed to avoid that from your posts.

Woww you have been luky to meet with an existing batch !!
Otherwise at Tiatn they are more than correct with their prices when they have to design an specific one and once done they allow you to offer this study to others mate building similar project ( and it's what I did)
That steering is top quailty made ; you will be very happy with
I do not see any provision for side clamps to hold ? how do you intend to locate laterally ?

Believe it or not but I managed to do some work on the chassis.
Put on the footspace top panel and trial-fitted the dash cross beam.
To my biggest surprise the fit of the panels wasn´t too bad and as a consequence
I got excited so much so that - no kidding- I stuck my burning cigar into my
mouth with the wrong end (not recommended).

It's quite obvious.
You lit the wrong end of your cigar.

Granpa reckons thats how they smoked cigarettes in WW1 -- presumably so the enemy couldn't pick em off at night :shifty:
Anyway, good work there Marcus --hope you don't become a granpa before you finish it

Chris, good point indeed. It´s quite a challenge to work on your car from Saudi Arabia, China or any other foreign job assignment.
...but now enough silly excuses, it´s surely the same for many of you so back to the workshop :thumbsup:
