Blue Super Seven W.I.P.
Officially a WIP. It is actually more than just parts! Finally!
I got a lot done on it yesterday, at least assembly wise, it finally looks like a potential car. After over two years of building, it's not just a shelf of parts and sub-assemblies. The suspension is bolted on for alignment so I can take measurements and make some more parts, but I am now in the process of replacing the phillips heads with hex heads. I need to make about 50 just to change over what I have assembled here... - Mark    Previous threads for those interested in the history of this build: Blue Seven (Parts): http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=312338 Blue Seven (Parts 2): http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=488279 Blue Seven (Parts 3): http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=537010

Re: Blue Super Seven W.I.P.
WOW. I have a question. Are those calipers cast or are they machined?

Re: Blue Super Seven W.I.P.
Are those calipers cast or are they machined?
The fronts and rear red ones (parking brakes) are plastic, but I textured them to make them look cast and coated. (There's a company up in Washington that does the process in real life.) The rear main calipers are resin items I cast and treated the same as the others. Each of the black main calipers has at least 20 metal parts in addition to the caliper bodies... The rotors are machined, but notice the vent holes are different styles. Square for the fronts, round for the rears... The hubs are machined, (aluminum, like the rotors), but treated similarly as the calipers to make them appear raw cast metal... - Mark

Re: Blue Super Seven W.I.P.
Wonderful work Mark.
Seeing what you've done is going to make me try that much harder to try and top myself. Thanks for the inspiration.
