Cooler than a very, very, cool thing that's been in the fridge for a while, Eric!

Have you found any reference for the front engine mounts? Been looking for ages for my future 1/8th 917 big brother! ;-)

Nice brass Ewestra. That overhead shot of your frame shows excellent symmetry. It's a shame to paint it black and cover it with the body panels. Are you going to open the doors?

Eric, from one brass scratchbuilder to another, it looks outstanding! As said in an earlier post, the symmetry is spot on! Can't wait to see more!

Re: Porsche 917K Le Mans 1971

Me the width of side panels interests. I wish to understand, on how many I need to expand a standard blank-end cover from Fujimi.
Excuse for my English.....
