Another Super 7

[Scale-Master]

Started on the floor panels. The panels alone were not too time consuming to make, but the rivets that mount them to the frame took a good amount of effort...

Only the front portions of the floor panels get carpeting, the rear sections under the seats will just be black paint.

These parts were started over a year ago. Now it’s time to fit them into the whole of the project. The firewall has been added to the cowl and the windshield frame and mounts have been soldered together. Only five pieces make up the windshield assembly at this point…

The reservoirs for the clutch and brake master cylinders are pretty much done now that they are painted, (custom) decaled and have the hose clamps installed; I think I may hit them with a duller clear after seeing them in the photos…

Stunning work as always. Not only am I always amazed by the quality of your work- but I am astounded at how productive you seem to be with it!

I like the hose clamp decals.

I might have been tempted to machine (cast?) those reservoir tanks in clear, and then given them a heavy spray of clear flat- to try to give them that translucent/hollow look of blow-molded plastic.

Thanks!
The last one I built I used white Delrin for the plastic reservoirs and catch tanks, but I am out of that material. I thought the raw white resin might work in this case because the real parts are not really translucent to the point of being able to being seen through, but these look less like raw plastic and more like paint. Maybe some Dullcote can help. At least the ones I am copying are more opaque than the older ones...

The windshield wipers are brass and styrene.

I decided to make them sweep from the outside due to the shape of the windshield.

Does that kind of wiper configuration make sense? It seems impractical.

this is amazing you have the patientence of a saint amazing work

[Scale-Master]

I machined the driver’s side mirror and mount/hardware from aluminum.


The mirror face is Mylar and angled for optimum rear-viewing …

I again outgrew the box I have been using to house the parts as I make them, so I decided to do a little inventorying before repacking them. Here is the sum of all parts that I have made for this project over the course of almost exactly one year and three months.
Most are just in primer, much like kit parts waiting to be finished and assembled. A few are painted and even less of them are finished sub-assemblies. I wonder if I’m halfway? Not that it matters…

[IndianJim]

Much awesomeness.

[Scale-Master]

I cut the windshield from some Lexan stock.

Added the rubber seal to both sides…

And painted the brass parts.
