Sure! What details do you wish to know? My chassis is based on the 442E ( www.locostbuilders.co.uk/forum/3/viewthread.php?tid=164868 )

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment! Yeah....it is odd over here....so many people have the steering wheel on the wrong side!

Thanks!! I greatly appreciate your positive comments 😊

Well, if it is ruined in your opinion, then please feel free to post a link of the Seven that you built with the best engine choice. I feel that my lightweight V8 was my best choice 😊👍🏻

Thank you so much! 🙂

Thank you so much! 😀

Thanks! I greatly appreciate your compliment!

Certainly! What equipment do you have?

@@mariusza4898 OK, which wires and diameters are you spraying? What flow meter models are you using (O2/fuel and air) and what fuel gas are you using?

Thanks! Have you seen the video of it finished?

Hey Chris! Nice to hear from you! Yes, those were the good old days for sure! That was Ed Gianella you worked with on the powder feeding. You can see him talking in one of my other videos. Please feel free to email my directly if you would like to catch up some more.

@@jamesweber7001email address? I sent the link to Chris O also... ;-) Yep, Ed Gianella...

Thank you so much! I too had considered 4cyl Ford power (both Ztec and 2.3L OHC (Pinto as you say), but it's hard to resist the call of the V8, plus the packaging and parts availability of the small block Ford are really happy with a car this size. 😀

@@jamesweber7001 I don't have same amount of v8s over here lol 😂 Great fun 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁✌️

Thank you so much! Being that this was my first car project, and I was concerned about crash safety and the torque of the 347, I built the majority of the chassis with 1.25" (32mm) tubing instead of the more common 1" (25mm). This, all the cross bracing and extremely heavy SCCA spec roll bar plus heat and other amenities were all added with no weight concerns. These decisions, among others, brought me up to 1,900# (860 KG), which is heavy for these types of cars that are typically <1,500# (<680 KG). However, this is still very light compared to most other performance cars and my car drives like a featherweight but is solid and flex free. My current project is hoped to be <1,250# (<565 KG). 😁

Hi! Actually, I was able to plan out the relays, computer, and wiring pretty well and made a practical glove box 😊👍🏻

I'm sorry, but even with a translation, I don't understand your question.

Thanks for the compliment! Electrical schematic design?

@@jamesweber7001 I’m building something close to this, and need to draw up a design.

@@zeropointstar Well, there are many, many variables to consider. First is your choice of engine, transmission, axle, doner car. When you have that figured out, the next step is to figure out how big to build it so that you fit comfortably. I went with 442E dimension on my build; sevenesque.com/plans/ . I also suggest buying a copy of the Ron Champion book "Build Your Own Sports Car....." as a great reference book. Where in the world are you located?

Nope.....no schematic yet, but thankfully it has been super reliable, and I haven't needed one....yet!

Thanks so much!

Actually, it is simple enough to some. I built it with no roof, no power steering, no power or anti-lock brakes, manual transmission, etc. As compared to other V8 cars, I am >20->100% lighter, so most people feel that this is pretty light. Everyone has their own ideas on how these cars should be built to their ideals. These cars are a very personal project. I am helping a friend with a motorcycle engine version and his is very light. His car probably suits your goals better as it is 30% lighter than my car and simpler. However, in my tastes it is uncomfortable to drive due to his seats being 16" verses my 18" (40cm Vs 45cm), 7,000 rpm highway cruising verses 2,000, windshield below eye level, no heater, no low-end torque, etc. So, for me and my driving style, my "whole idea" is perfect. 😀

Perhaps you can look at it this way, but it is a lot lighter than a 289 Cobra, with more power and more tire, plus a better optimized suspension. The Mustang donated the brake calipers, rear axle, spindles, fuse box, horn, engine block, and some other odds and ends.

Sure...what do you want to know about arc spray coatings?

Thanks! My DMV process was complex, but workable! Please check out my other videos here to see the finished project.

Thanks! I am using the Kirkey seat liners, thinly padded, but quite comfortable! Please do checkout some of my other videos here, including my 2022 update at the Flowerfields car show. I have >4,000 miles (>6,400km) on the car now and it has been great!

I considered it, but it was too large, heavy, and complex. The weight gain would have been nearly 200# (90kg) and the car would need to grow at least 18” (500mm) in length to fit it in. There would also have been challenges finding space for the fuel tank. It handles awesome with the live axle (just like a real Seven!😊👍🏻), so I’m happy with my choice to this way

Aww! I miss my Mr Moe! He was a good boy 😊👍🏻

@@jamesweber7001 Mine made it to 19 years and 9 months, a good innings!.

Thanks! Yes, they do Rover (Buick) V8's in England. I think that Westfield build about 400 or the Rover V8 "SEiGHT" versions. Here in the USA the Ford V8's are easier to source than the Rover.

Thank you! Yes, it is an amazing feeling! It does inspire you to do more, so I am working n a second project now and planning a third.

Thanks so much! 😃

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! If you are ever on Long Island, please stop by and I will give you a ride! 🙂

Sure! I am always happy to discuss thermal spray with people! Please send me and email at jweber5@optonline.net

Sure; email the details regarding which Metco arc spray system jweber5@optonline.net

Sure! I based the overall dimensions on the data outlined in the McSorley 442E plans (sevenesque.com/plans/) . Please feel free to email me for more thoughts and details. jweber5@optonline.net
