Here is the front view showing the 7 grill made from 1/8" brass rod. The grill behind it is a cookie cooling rack painted black. http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070110_154548_ft_view.jpg

I made mine by bending and soldering 1/8" brass rod. I still haven't figured out how to post pic's yet. Russ

I'm 56 going on 30 something. I have a 16 yr old daughter that causes me to drink too much and a 13yr old boy that I can still run rings around. Neather kids are the least interested in my car, motorcycle, or hunting. Where did I go wrong

I will when I can figure out how too, Russ

I too, am hooked. My name is Russ Amos and I live in Shawnee, Ks (a burb of Kansas City). I was a Commercial Sales Engineer for Carrier Air Conditioning and other A/C companies for 25 years when I said to myself you need to get out of the rat race and live. So I quit the corporate world and started a custom woodworking business out of my home. That way I'm home when my high school jr. and middle school 7th grader get home. For my Seven I cheated. I was getting ready to start cutting tubes for my build when BAM up popped this beautiful British made RHD Locost on ebay. It's buy-it-now price was well below what I could build it for so I bought it. I have made several changes to it sence I got it and will never be finished. It is my daily driver and I am not interested in racing it. I worked too hard to get it. I have entered it in two car shows and got a 1st and a 2nd place (the 2nd place was against a full race prep'ed factory made REAL Lotus.I love driving it around and watching peoples expressions when they see it. Sevens in the KC area are rare. My other hobbies are bow hunting deer and riding observed trials motorcycles. If you are ever in the KC area contact my and we can go for a ride.

My British made Locost has a 711m in it. A 1300cc lump. Real dog. What trans do you have. The Brits have a lot of adaptors to put modern engines like 4age's. My trans is not strong enough to adapt. If I could afford a Miata engine and trans I would give you my engine. 1300 and 1600 blocks are the same just different internals. Russ
