Great. Keep us posted. What happened to the Tipo 184 someone was trying about a year ago?

That may be a truly shocking idea!

That gets a big WOW.

That is interesting. Should be a weekend of news. Good news if the Seven goes up the hill.

I think "Lightweight" in EV speak means less than 5,000 lb.

Looks like the electric Cat is nothing like a Seven https://linkst.hemmings.com/click/32013006.23065/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGVtbWluZ3MuY29tL3N0b3JpZXMvY2F0ZXJoYW0tdGVhc2VzLXByb2plY3Qtdi1lbGVjdHJpYy1zcG9ydHMtY2FyLz91dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9RURhaWx5JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj0/603e9ba0008a0542dced201cB4684cbf3

Nice looking car. Enjoy!

If it is going to be temporary, you could go a LOT cheaper with something similar to a MICO (ZF) brake lock. There are some with a tiny lever instead of a button. That would look hysterical in a Seven. Keep in mind it only locks in the pressure you have already applied to the hydraulic system. Some centuries ago, I was a UPS delivery boy and had a wonderful package car with a MICO brake. As I came to a stop, I could apply the MICO and be standing in the door when the van actually stopped. Back when UPS drivers were reputed to run.

Very nice looking set of gauges. The fuel gauge in kg may make you feel a bit F1ish.

SOLD to another USA7s member,

The drivers look even worse than the poor car. Chapman was smarter than a computer!

Great job on the aluminum. That windshield is going to start a lot of conversations. Love it!

White with red is such a great combo. For me, an old Lotus should have a red leather steering wheel. Well bought project!

Is this a "Pride" thing?

You hooked me at, "Maxing the car in Mexico. " You must tell us about that.

Don't be put off by Kitcat's remark. "And I promptly burned my bare leg on the exhaust pipe’s heat shield." I assure you that you will only do it once!

Heat? Try driving a Seven in 100 degree ambient weather. I've never noticed much heat except in winter, when it is welcome. The only hot spot was where my knee touches the tunnel. Felt like a proper burn. Fixed it with a pad glued to tunnel. Welcome to the nut house.

Yes! Who doesn't love seeing someone else's project?

You might find a local company that services injectors. They may be able to check the spray to see if the 4 are the same. Should not cost much and probably could use cleaning anyway.

Agree. Our most likely fire is B (gasoline, etc) or C (electric) as stated. "A" would be small to start with, we are not an 18 wheeler with a tire fire. Anyway, water is the best thing for A, even if it's a ditch of water. C is usually going to be preceded by the smell or something not working, or smoke getting out of the wires. That's what the ignition switch or master battery disconnect are for, and the dry chemical BC if needed. B is the only one that really scares me and the BC is fine for that. If the one on the car is not enough, hopefully help arrives with another. Been on both ends of that. (IMHO, US DOT & WSO Safety & Security Director, ret.)

If you end up having the wheels rebalanced, if you can still make out the color dots on the tires, insist that they use them properly. Bridgestone has a good article on that. It can really make a substantial difference in weights required to balance, but few tire techs will bother.

Great photos. After you get the Seven built, you can look for the Turner. It should be just about the right size for your son by then.

Outstanding story and car. Perfect for our drizzly Sunday with my afternoon coffee.
