Lotus 23 recreation built

[Cor]

Hello, Michel,

Great build enjoyed it a lot.
Finished building the chassis for our 23.
A mistake i made is buying a noble body years ago.
This apears to be 150mm wider than a normal 23 and has open wheel arches, which is a pity and not the way i want to finish the car.
Is there a possibility for you to produce a rear body part for me? Offcourse i will pay for this?

Thanks in advance!

Regards Cor

Hi mates
Some year ago a few members knowing I was starting with help of my grandsons ( after the 907/8 replica built) a project of this tiny and smart 2 seater and they where
advising me to start a thread to show all the process of this built from CAD drawing to completion of the rolling chassis
I had the big opportunity to have access to roughts 2d drawings( and also tons of dimensions of the real deal !!) and had in hand a complete bodywork to repare so access to do accurate molds
At the time I was too busy to document such a thread ; am now cool and plenty of time to do so if you good members are interested to follow such a"tale"
As I have done hundred pics during the built and many Jpeg views of the CAD engineering process

Just a"teasing pic" to show how the project started from arought internet drawing !!!

So any interest in reading such built ?????????????

Once the chassis was in agood status we wanted also to check if the body we had to mold was ok to fit so with all grandsons ( 5 of them !! ) helping with wax and flanges location we started to all molds..................

Beautiful work, Michel!!! Sending my congratulations from Argentina.
