Brudda Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Oh boy. I opened the box. This car was a poster on my wall as a kid. Also with Farrah. So I was going to start the Gurney F1 kit but I put it aside to do the Porsche. Have to thank my friend Mark for patiently waiting to receiving payment. Now it’s paid for, so here we go. Saw Dave Thibodeau’s Porsche. Holly mackerel! I cannot even come close to his standards but I’m going to give it a try . To me , he is a grand master modeler. . This is going to probably take a year or so. I’m not in a hurry , also we may be moving back east so it may take longer. Going to do the engine first. Well , here goes........

absmiami Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Biting my lip - the Farrah poster reference invites all sorts of responses that would make the moderators sad … enjoy …. Consider some posts with the oil line instructions in focus - would be most helpful to those of is that want to add some detail to to a 917 kit in smaller scale … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah after about a year I thought it might be good to start this up again. I look at the instructions and get a little dizzy. Holy cow. Getting a 1/8 Ferrari GTO from Mark soon so I might have to put this away and do the Ferrari. We shall see. Plus still waiting on parts for the 1/8 gull wing. Restoring a 1:1 1967 mustang GT. And restoring my 1965 mustang. So a little busy. On 3/23/2024 at 11:29 AM, absmiami said: Thank you for the pic not Farrah. Had this poster and the 917/30 in my bedroom as kid.

Brudda Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Ok just completed the turbos. Took me several weeks just to do these. Fuel system next. Been slacking on models a lot. Wanted to work on this Saturday but seeing Adam Corrolla at the auto museum. Attending a dinner and the podcast. He has a special guest. Jay Leno is in town, so we hope it’s Jay. I will have pics. Anyway hope to have the fuel system finished in a few weeks maybe months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He runs the Harrah auto museum. Good friend of mine. He told me about Adams Datsuns at the museum. He also told me about the pod cast and dinner. Everything was sold out but he made an extra seat for me . It’s who you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
