Re: LHD Seven

Great detail, as usual. Stitching on the wheel - decal?

Re: LHD Seven

Thanks Spider!

From the near start of the project I planned to make the spare tire and support section of the frame removable for part-time racing. The main bolt to hold the wheel to the car frame was fabricated from brass.

The hold-down strap with ratchet buckle is scratch-built. I also made a "working" connector for the wiring that powers the license light and machined all the mounting hardware.



(License plate/frame and wheel are also made from scratch.) Looks like I better hurry and finish it before the tags expire…

Re: LHD Seven

It has wings… Or front fenders as we call them in America.


Windshield and roll bar are installed and fitted to accept the brass roof too.

Re: LHD Seven

Thanks! Let'sTime to make the ubiquitous (at least in my cars) fire extinguisher. The bottle was turned on the lathe from aluminum.

The bottom has the correct "dimple".

The head with gauge and nozzle also turned from the same stuff.

The handle pieces were freehand milled and then hand finished before being painted black.

hope this is the finish run for it...
