Rom... This build is killer man!! The detail is out of this world. Nice work bud!!

Hey Chris im glad you like it Bro .... I plan to bring it with me next year so hopefully you'll get to see it in person

[Mike Kucaba]

Id like to see that Mike do you have a link to his build??

Hi Rom, No link that I know of,it was in the magazine possibly before the birth of the forum.I'll check my back issues and get back to you.

[Art Laski]

Looking good, Rom!

[Harry P.]

The later Pochers (F40, Testarossa and Porsche) are just a shadow of the Pocher "Classics." Waaaay less parts, much less detail. The aftermarket transkits for those models are pretty much a requirement if you want a detailed, accurate model. The transkits are expensive (they can cost as much as the kit itself), but they're worth it.

[Romell R]

Harry is sooo correct!!!

[Romell R]

Well I have a bit of progress to share with ya, I was able to work on the motor and exhaust today. The exhaust took some soldering and I had a really good time putting this all together. I still have to paint the exhaust parts so I plan to do that tomorrow. I hope you enjoy.......
alternator with scratched pulley.......


Header flange in place .......


and the exhaust work.......




this is the exhaust bracket that you have to build to support the exhaust, the trans kit come with and excellent jig to help you build this piece.......


Thanks for stopping in .......
