I love Lotus 7 , so I would like to make one 1/3.5 scale.
I start chasiss , arms , hubs and nosecone as first step.

Superb fabrication, as we're used to seeing from you, but - if necessary, how do you change the lower rear swing arm - it looks 'welded in' ?

Definitely keep us posted - I am not a number !! :no:

Can you see two holes behind the arm ?
You can haul the axis of the arm through them ,to change the arm.
