For those that are interested I recommend this book, paid $10 for my copy.

Leave off the decals and dub it a 959 RS.

Nice work Pat.

Great project Bernard.

Creepy cool.

Interior looks great Thomas.

Noel, would love to see pictures of your Frog kit. I'm working with HRM on an Ace Bristol resin trans-kit.

Very impressive work Tom.

http://www.flachbau.com/Documents-Media/965_Master.pdf THE PORSCHE 965 V-8 PROTOTYPE Many think that the 964 Turbo has the designation of 965, but they are wrong. As you can clearly see in the video below, the 965 model type is a prototype designed by Porsche to be a higher volume successor to the 959. Fitted with a watercooled V-8 engine borrowed from Audi, Porsche tested this mule extensively before ultimately killing the project in 1988 due to cost and complexity.

Thanks Thomas. I did create the openings on the first body (with the fender flares). But I don't think I'll added them on the final version as they would mostly be hidden by the auxiliary lights.

I think your method Thomas will work better for the street version as it does have some upholstery. I want to build a fully gutted competition interior.

To help differentiate the various versions (series) of the 911, Porsche assigned internal code numbers. If anyone has other information please let me know and I will correct the list. Porsche 901 (1963) Porsche's original designation for the car ** Porsche 911 (1964–1989) Porsche 930 (1975-1989) a turbocharged version of the original 911 Porsche 934 (1975-1976) Group 4 racing version of the Type 930 Turbo Porsche 935 (1976) Group 5 racing version of the Type 930 Turbo Porsche 953 (1984) 4x4 version of 911 Carrera for Paris/Dakar Rally Porsche 954 (1983) 911SC/RS Group B evolution of 911SC Porsche 959 (1987) All-Wheel-Drive limited production sports car Porsche 961 (1986) racing version of the 959 Porsche 964 (1989–1994) Porsche 993 (1995-1998) Porsche 996 (1999-2004) all-new body and water-cooled engines Porsche 997.1 (2004-2008), Porsche 997.2 (2008-2012) Porsche 991.1 (2012-2016), Porsche 991.2 (2017-2018) Porsche 992 (2019-) ** It originally was designated as the "Porsche 901" (901 being its internal project number). A total of 82 cars were built as 901s. However, Peugeot protested on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. Instead of selling the new model with a different name in France, Porsche changed the name to 911. Internally, the cars' part numbers carried on the prefix 901 for years. Production began in September 1964, with the first 911s marketed to the US in February 1965. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_911 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_type_numbers

I was studying the interior in preparation for a race car conversion and was planning to remove the upper portion of the rear seats completely and replacing it with flat stock. Would do the same for the rear seat cushions. Interested in seeing how your method turns out. Body looks good.

Thanks Bruce. Belts are made from the tissue paper that is provided in the PE belt sets. I cut it into strips and color it with a Sharpie.

Very nice '67 Mustang.

Very nice. Saw a 1:1 yesterday at a car show.

Finished interior other than painting the rim and anchor post for the spare. Tool kit is from the Fujimi EM kit with thread as bungee straps. Driver seat also comes from the EM kit, co-driver seat from a glue bomb Hasegawa rally kit. Lug wrench is a white metal part from Racing 43.

Also very nice Chuck.

Chassis looks great Richard. I'll be following.
