#26 1966 Lola T-90 Offy Rodger Ward

[jj66]

Next project will be Rodger Ward last entry at Indy 500 - Lola T-90/92 Offy.



Starting with tires, from IMC Lotus kit. They are too thick, then I sand raised lettering, made and mould with one side, and apply an offset before moulding second side.







After tires, it's time for wheels, from IMC Ford GT kit. I make a resin copy, reshape the holes and insert on AMT Mclaren kit rings.







This is the final result for the wheels and tires.



For the body, I've started taking the Clidinst drawings and making eight representative cross sections. Cut over 1 mm evergreen sheet and mounted over three 2,4 mm evergreen tubes.

Cool!!!! With the Supercharged Offy No Less!!! this is what happens when a hot rodder works on your Indy car engine!! Chris

[Lance]

Love the way you make your bodies, looking forward to your build!

[Art Laski]

Oh boy, here we go! Another spectacular ride in store with Juanjo. Looking forward to watching along!

Looks like another awesome build!

Wow, again! You're very talented!

[jj66]

Continuing with body work. Adding 1 mm evergreen stripes. Main lines first, then the rest.









First sanding and priming.

I'm still amazed at how you do this. I'm doing good to scratch build a few pieces for my cars! It would be great if you could mold it for the 66 winner since it's one of the few we're missing.

[jj66]

Now, I reshaped the nose with epoxy putty and apply a thin layer of tamiya grey putty.





Time for opening cockpit and engine hood.







With 0,75 mm styrene sheet, I make cockpit sides, glued over the body after a little trim for a best adjustment. Then, epoxy putty and sanding.









Finally, body general volume is ready, with tamiya grey primer coating.

That's the idea Dustin! You have noticed that engine hood is prepared for 4 cam Ford engine. My intention is to clone the body for the '66 winner and Jacky Stewart cars, and '67 Al Unser and Jacky Stewart cars. For this reason, I am working with two bodies. It's an ambitious project.

Wow! Not only a super build, but you got two going at once! Just awesome!

Really, what else can be said?

Keep it up, these builds are stunning.

[jj66]

Updating body works. First, added epoxy putty and styrene sheet to create punctual protuberances for front suspension, engine hood and rear down suspension.







Made Naca ducts and maintenance covers. Created a template with brass&styrene sheet buffers.



Applied over epoxy putty before hardening.



Cut over the body, glued with epoxy&talc, sanded and primed.









Finally, panel lines scribbed.





For the '67 car, several mods on the cockpit and tail.







'66 car primed, ready for suspension work.







'67 car ready too.







'66&'67 cars together.

I think I should really consider giving up! Dude, your some kind of wizard or genius. What the heck do you do for a living?
