Early 40's Chevy pickup. Different type of yard art.......or is that how you restore a wooden steering wheel....:rofl:....

Boy Jerry you have just described 90% of the members of this forum with that post.

Hi KYO, I built my 7 from scratch and I used an MGB rear axle assy as it did not need to be shortened. It measures 42-1/4" from inside brake drum flange to flange and is more closely related to the transit van rear axle that was originally used in the S2's to my limited knowledge plus it is stronger than what was originally used. Also the drive shaft input is offset to the right side or passenger side if your car is going to be a left hand drive 7 so it give you a little more space on the drivers side if needed. As for the trans tunnel that is one of the last things that would get built as you will need to place the engine and transmition into the frame for alignment and shifter location along with the rear differential so that you can get the dimensions you need for the drive shaft. I personally would reduce the amount of clearance on the sides of the drive shaft tunnel to 3/4" on each side as the drive shaft should not move sideways unless you bend something in the read suspension to my understanding. My build the trans tunnel is 6-1/2" across the trans tunnel and that makes for a narrow passenger seat area so if I were to build another trans tunnel would be a lot narrower. Here is a link to some of the photos of my build that might give you some ideas or help you decide on different things so enjoy and have fun building your 7 and ask questions but remember to build it the way you want and not to re-invent the wheel when it comes to the build. http://picasaweb.google.com/MHKflyer52/ALotus7Replica#

That officer should have to submit to a mental examination and get a couple of weeks off with out pay. He is lucky that the officers that arrived did not act the way he was acting and shot him for brandishing a pistol.

Your 7 looks real good. I like the new gril.

I have the HF Aluminum Jack in my shop and it works ok for what I need it for. It is the silver one not the fancy Blue or Red one and was only $140 US dollars I think. Rated for 3000lbs. Only complaint that I have is the handle is a two section setup and if the nut and bolt are not kept tight they tend to fall out. Weight is still about 30lbs I think.

The Russians are way ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to Amphibious Aircraft and I do believe that in the feature air travel will return to the use of this type of aircraft to move people around the world. I would love to get an amphibious type rating in any aircraft but I just don't have the time or the aircraft resource to do it easily.

That is amassing....wonder what that owners insurance company is saying after seeing that video.....

He really is something else and can make a car do things that just seem unbelievable. Sure dose help to have Subaru as a sponsor and a 380 HP WRX to play with.

That has to be fake but if it is not then that person won the loto of life for sure.

Now that is funny.....wounder just how many nuckleheads do that.....must be a reason that the camera was put at that location.

Man that is tough. Did not realize that you are in Canada and that you had to go through those hoops. Well at least it will be closer to spring for you when it dose arive.

Nice looking 7.....I do not think I would beable to wait till March even if it is only 3-1/2 months away.

We called it Study Hall..:toetap05:..which it was not..:jester:..
