Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
There is no joint. I turned it on the lathe.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I made the tailpipes. I bent steel armatures to form the tubing from the insides. The ends are brass.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The rear section seemed like it needed something more, so I freehand drilled a dozen holes in the rear panel. For a part that is based on a kit piece, I'm somewhat surprised how much scratch-work it has on it now. It didn't start out in my plans that way, but such is the nature of this project.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I designed the spokes for the steering wheel in SolidWorks from a real one I liked and printed a master.
 This is a resin copy I cast from it with the aluminum rim I turned. I milled out three areas in the rim for the spokes to fit into.  Dry fitted together.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
Shoulder belt anchor bar.
 Shoulder and lap belt anchor hardware.  And the buckle sets. All scratch-built.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The kit seats are both the same.
 I notched the inboard edges for shifter clearance and cut holes for the lap belts.  They needed some cushion detail. I thought I could use the pre-scribed sheet plastic I used on the camper I built last month, but it was so brittle (old stock I guess) it kept snapping, and not just in the recessed lines. I hoped to do each in two pieces but it was more like eight per seat.  The indentations needed to be scribed a lot deeper and some curvature added.  Primed and on hold until painting.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
Rather than C/F or Kevlar I went with the main body color for the seat backs.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I painted the hardware and made the belts. The little hook latches for the buckles will be installed later with some other details; they are too delicate.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
New dash made from scratch, discarded kit dash above (black). I'm using the kit gauge pod with modifications.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I machined the AutoMeter gauge bezels out of aluminum. The air vent and lower gauge housings are brass.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
Thanks guys! I really appreciate it!
While doing a periodical mock-up of the main parts I noticed the front end had somehow incurred five fractures around the wheel well, headlight and driving light openings. I know this blue plastic is very brittle, but this was a surprise. As much as I intended to install the headlight buckets after the body was painted I went ahead and did so after repairing the damage for added strength.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I made some Jabroc wear strips for the bottom of the chassis.
