More 935 Progress Pix

[monkeyclaw]

Hey guys; here's a couple update photos of the #70 Sachs car....The tub has been done in Semi-gloss black; and I had to do sub-assemblies for this one...you will note that the tunnel is in; with a new shifter tower and happy knob assembly; necessary for the inverted tranny; The suspension is all hung; using the SMS rotor assy's on the drivers side; and the tranny is in place; had to do it this way to get the rear swingarms in place correctly...I am making the new rear struts right now; so they are not in the pix...the dash is complete; done from photos of the dash of the 1:1 car....as is the fiberglass laminate on the fuel tank....yes; REAL fiberglass!!! I also laminated the seat shell with fiberglass. The tank will be fitted with all of the p/e stuff from the sms set, for a bit more "pop". Next will come the plumbing and electrical harness on the chassis; as this car will be built so the unibody structure is visible; and I didn't want to have to do "ship in a bottle" work inside the monocoque...have a look........matt

is this a 1/12 or 1/8

This car is based on the Tamiya 1/12 martini kit... but features many modifications from 935/76 to 935/80; which entails all new body work for the car....when this car is done, my next build will be the old 1/8 scale entex 1974 935 RSR martini car ( "the car that started it all") as it is known to Porsche fans..thanx for looking..........here's a shot of the car i am currently building.........matt
