Porsche 917


Hippie

Recommended Posts

I'm planing on building a 917 chassis out of brass, in 1/6 or 1/8 scale, grinno.gif haven't decided yet, if you got any ideas I'd love to hear them.

but before i spend a bunch of money on a few dozen feet of brass I've started a "mini" version, wheelbase was shrunk to 80mm, Plan is hopefully I'll learn something building it before i tackle the big one. So I'm not spending much time squaring anything up or being really specific, quick and dirty, so far I've only put like 3 hours in, enough ramblings here's some pics...

Wow, this is wonderful work. If I weren't new around here I would probably know "Excellence was expected"-ha! I just finished reading "The unfair advantage" and the development work Donohue did with the 917-10 and 917-30 versions-it was very interesting. I love the Can-Am, but prefer the vision of the coupe blasting down the Mulsanne in the rain. Thanks, I'll enjoy watching your work.
