Another Super Seven (Part 1)

Kit / Model  

Seven Based Custom

Manufacturer  

Scratch

Item Code  

Scratchbuilt Seven

Scale  

1/12

Description  

I decided the time has come for me to build yet another 1/12 scale Super Seven, (it has been about six years since I finished my last one), the only “problem” is I don’t have any more kits of them.
If I counted correctly, this will be my 7th 1/12 scale Seven.
So instead of shopping for one, I grabbed a sheet of brass and started cutting, beating and bending.
I am not sure why I started with the hood first, it just seemed like a good idea.


Next I figured I’d make a wheel for it.
I have a hood, and a leftover tire to fit a rim to. All I need to do is make a wheel and then just fill in the stuff between them, right?

I was enjoying the mill work so much I decided to make a cam cover, something custom to contain a bit rowdier pair of cams. The bolt pattern is the same as what would mount to a BDR Cosworth head. I milled this cover out of 7075 aluminum.

Hi Mark, well all what you need now is a car LOL LOL. I guess you began with the hood because the new caterhams have more louvers, could it be?. I'm curious to see what will come from your hands, but in a point I think you will need a kit..... or not LOL LOL. Good job.
