Nicely done. Looks like it came straight from the factory. :cheers:

This is tragic in the worst way. My heart goes out to all.

Oficailly--that's what happens when you 'fat finger' the key board. When are you going to 'officially' start taking up space in the great state of Texas?

The commies are back, and with another red star! :banghead:

I am impressed! Two thumbs up.

Dan, When do you oficially become a Texan?

Success all around! :cheers:

My finger is starting to hurt a little. :smilielol5:

Allen, Welcome aboard. You may be ahead of the game on this, but a couple of other good sites for this type of info may be LOONY: http://www.lotusowners.com/ or the Lotus Seven Club: http://www.lotussevenclub.com/ You may also want to try Simple Sevens: http://www.simplesevens.com/ :cheers:

Yep. See what happens when you leave us home alone. :jester:

Yessir! :iagree: When I first glanced it on the Bat phone, I thought it was a Cat. Excellent build.

Thanks . . . . . :cheers:

Dave, Where did you pick up the wind screen? Shane

Come on now, the 80's weren't that bad. :smilielol5:

Good heavens!!!!! Not again!!!! Worse than fire ants! :spam::spam::spam:

Clearly . . . . . :smilielol5:

Dave, Welcome to the forum. Great looking car! :cheers:

I missed this one somehow . . . pretty awesome. Any known video of the car? Tried boobtube with no luck.

Chris, great perspective! :cheers:

Mike, I think it's the headlights; gives the car 'the look'. :jester:

Stewart, that's the same thing my wife tells me! :smilielol5:

After reviewing some on-track video of #85 (and having some discussion with other Stalker owners on the Stalker forum), extreme hood venting (for lack of a better term) was taking place once well into the triple digits. Air being forced into the front of the scoop at high speed was building under-hood pressure faster than the air could evacuate (of course, this is all theory and will have to proven on the track ). My resolve for the issue is a mixture of one old NACA duct (modified and reversed), one set of fender louvers originally designed for a 1987 Buick GNX (you guys remember those, right?) and a small piece of 8x8 spec aluminum wire mesh from McMaster-Carr (not yet installed): http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=26697 . . . . . :smash:

John, Wish I could, but with my limited photo shopping skills (using a very archaic Paint program), this is the best it would do. :cheers:

Yeap, you're safe, right up till it morphs into the Westfield-eating-SUV-from-hell? :jester: . . . . . :cheers:
