curt raitz Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I picked up this kit at the NNL West: I was not interested in building an Orange Jagermeister 934 RSR...plenty of those have been built. Upon researching the various versions, I decided to build this one: I based my decision the fact I could reproduce & print the decals and the cost of aftermarket decals...$$$ George Follmer and the car he drove to the 1976 Trans Am Series Championship. Needless to say, this is a very big kit...the workbench is totally engulfed with Porsche 934 parts. Got a few things put together front and rear suspension assemblies: chassis with suspension assemblies attached: All body parts have been painted with Duplicolor Clear-coat shot over Duplicolor Artic White...getting ready print up the decals and stick'em on. thanx for lookin'...

Chillyb1 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I never miss an opportunity to watch one of these get built. I'll never do it myself, but I'm glad people like you are willing to undertake such monumental projects. Plus I'm glad to see you doing this uncommon version.

simonr Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The buildis already a great one, but, if you allow me to suggest, could add a liitle weathering at least in the engine and suspension components? It will pop up the great build up you already done until now. Simón P. Rivera Torres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Wow, everything you've done is truly outstanding. I've had this kit so long the tires have dry-rotted. Guess I'm going to have to find some more, 'cause this is really inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
