Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
More little machined aluminum hardware added to the (3D created) rear cover.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
Not many comments here. I think that's because we're in awe - well I am anyway. The combination of designing and printing / growing the parts, machining other parts etc. is just beautiful.
Just seeing that machined breather can and knowing its scale size since I've got the T70 kit as well is mind boggling. There is one question I have regarding the engine block. How did you create the crinkeled look? It almost looks like the surface would be flat but there is some powder sprinkled on it that has then been covered with paint. Top work. After watching the 7 come to life, I'm enjoying every step of this build very much  |

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
Thank You guys!
You're correct sky1911, the texture is talcum powder. The last coat of paint softens the texture and leaves a gloss finish, a lot like the way painted sand-cast parts look. |

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I turned my attention back to the interior and started fabricating the dash parts. The bulkhead is all styrene; solid stock and sheet.
 The dash/gauge panels were made from sheet styrene too.  A little more styrene was used for the steering column and its mount.  |

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The tub and some of the other bulkheads and related parts finally received some paint.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I fabricated the front sway bar guides from brass and styrene and then after machining the bolts and washers I lost one of the guides. I wasn't in the mood to make the same exact part again, so I machined a different style of new (beefier) guides and used the aluminum hardware on them. (I did not find the missing part yet…)

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I permanently installed the rear bulkhead and engine mount cross-member and just had to test fit the block and trans…
 Figured I'd do the rear sway bar while I was working on the front one too.  |

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
Since it's for the street I started making a crossflow muffler. It would still be loud, but at least not straight-pipe loud.
 Inlet and outlets are brass tubing.  |

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
This is the main muffler bracket/mount. Hand formed sheet aluminum.
 And with the mounting hardware…  |
