OK, here goes. First of all, my buddy (he is the owner, chassis #103) and I brought home this very original Lotus 51a. We plan to take lots of photos and take the car completly apart. First would ge to strip the chassis and check it for damage/cracks. One list member recommended to take the chassis to Burt Curtis and have him do the C model updates and move the pick up point for rear suspension top control arm. The one he have is older version with the top arm lower on the chassis and connects to the rear upright only mid way. Also recommended that we take the fluids out of the chassis tubes. Run seperate tubes for water and oil. So, what do you guys think so far????
