I too love the brass and steel combination. Did you modified the original Gilmer hubs or are they built from scratch?, I like the allen head screws going from the back fasten to rims with nuts. Would you mind taking it all apart to show more in depth of the hub system and what exactly was done?

Hey folks, going back on this project very soon, ordered a new blue paint and going to redo the body again. Plus with the 3D printer I did'nt have when I started this project I'll be able to make all the little air scopes and possible headlight buckets and interior. Stay tuned. Hope you enjoy

Hey folks hope you don't get tired of my mini updates? I added the roll bar and pinstriping to the side panels across Team Lotus, the Firestone tire decals are delayed :( Next as mentioned will be the dampers on the front axel. The wood under the car is to keep it raised to prevent tire out of round...

Thanks Loverdr, I plan on doing one more 49 as I still have another engine and clutch bell left, but this time I'll do a more detailed front suspension system along with a different style chassis. as for this 49 I made the roll bars and ordered firestone tire decals. Going to take photos on a track ...

Thank you Lovedr and Kaye, I wanted to add dampers on the front axle from the get go but couldn't find them, Going through some stuff I luckly found them, going to drill and tap them into the axle and metal bulkhead. This will add to the detail and be functional at the same time, purely my opinion.

Thank you Kaye, I finished about 99% of this build, still have the driver to paint, roll bars and rear stabilizer bar, I also want to make a nice mahogany stand to place it on, but it can wait. This build had it's challenging moments but is was a joy for me to accomplish. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks Kaye, a mini update. I received my lotus emblem I designed and had it printed along with the team logos. I'm in the process of polishing the wheels and then its off to a full assembly. Will post final build in a gew days. Hope you enjoy.

Hey folks, received my custom nose decal today and put in place. Was going to start assembling the car but it's way to hot and humid in the garage, I'll save it for a cooler day or evening. If anyone is wondering about the front suspension, this consists of 2 insulators mounted to the axle which wor...

Thanks Kaye

Nice, I really like your steering setup, going to steel that idea.

Hey folks, hope everyone is doing well. Finally got some good weather and time from yard chores and was able to paint my Lotus 49. Going to wait a week or so before I give a light compound and wax and then apply the decals. Next I need to find wheels, the ones I used to test are from my Daytona coup...

What kind of rear is that?

Thanks Mike; We had one day where the weather was great for painting and I was able to complete all the yellow areas. Now need to wait a few days to cure fully to apply the masking for the green areas and then the decals.

Thank you Cal

Body primed up but the weather was crappy with more to follow, was hoping to start Jim Clarks scheme today
