Hey, From what I can gather from the Oliver "Lotus 49" book, This is Chassis Number R4, which only raced at south Africa in 1968. It was sold to Rob Walker, but destroyed by fire before it raced again. You'll need the long fairings (A13, A14), solid brakes, part A10 for the fuel filler/cow...

I have nothin...

This is so awesome! Very inspirational! Does that PVC foam that you used have a brand or trade name? It sounds like it would be nice to work with. Thanks for the WIP pics!!

Derek
