Re: Lotus Seven in Seven...

Wow, terrific looking work! That rollcage is awesome. I like your box filters. I'm sorry I haven't been watching this one closer.

For doing an SCCA 7, I would seriously consider converting the engine from a Sidevalve to a Crossflow. It's easy- really it's just moving the carbs from the left side to the right. The sidevalve engine hasn't been put into 7s since the late 60's but the Crossflow has been hugely popular in 7s from the late 60's up to the present day (you can still actually get one, albeit a rebuilt one, in a brand new 7 today). The Crossflow and the Rover K are the two engines most likely to appear in motorsports 7s. If your interested, I can send you some pics and descriptions.

Yeah, the deadline.... Winter weather still grips my dismal little corner of the world. As such, I can't paint- so at this point I'm very likely not going to be finished in two weeks. While a number of people have or will make it, I think I won't be alone in being a bit behind. (Wish I could build fast....)
