1/4 scale Lotus 49 Jim Clark version

[Kaye]

I like the idea of using isolators as a suspension component.

[Emilio]

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.

[Kaye]

Wow!

[Emilio]

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.

[Lovedr]

Came out great!!! Truly a nice piece.

[Kaye]

Best ever scratch build !

[Emilio]

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.

[Lovedr]

Simple, realistic, and well detailed!

[Emilio]

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 like setting when it's complete.

[Emilio]

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. Hope you enjoy.

Emilio:

I never get tired, I get inspired! Thanks for all the updates.

[Emilio]

Thanks Kaye

[Emilio]
