Hiya!
Well the rest of Jimmy Clarks Lotus is dis-assembled on my bench. A few body light repairs and dash detail from A model car aftermarket firm and she's darned near ready to work on.
The body pieces came apart darned near liks new. I have another Ford engine I am going to use i got some years back.A resin replacement for something else, but just right for this car.
I very carefully removed the remainder of the suspension system and I'll be able to use "T" pins for the suspension arms(Trailing arms, etc.) And connect them to the body with the original ends as flimsy and fragile as they might be.
I am ordering the decals payday and using my New Airbrush and Compressor to paint, first a nice fine layer of Mr. Color primer(Light Grey, Love the stuff!) And two coats of B.R.G., Decals and the last coat will be Boyds Classic Clearcoat.
You are probably asking yerself" why all this for a Glue Bomb?" It was cheaper. Way cheaper than the new model and fits my ultimate goal. That is, to have a built up original release of the car, Flaws and all.
The wheels are going to be the hardest part to find. I'll Find them I am sure I will!
