In light of seeing an abomination of a so called "build" recently...I had to get those visions out of my head.
I recalled seeing this true masterpiece of a build from some time ago (with a claimed 15000 hours invested in the project, and counting)! It is a spectacular car and well worth a few minutes of your time despite not being "Porsche" content. Tony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOV6xdlGl_U |

Wow. Those who can work with aluminum amaze me. Years ago I was at Jerry McCarthy's shop in CT with the 356 Registry group. The last RS60 and the first RS61 were parked side by side and a fellow was constructing a new tail for the RS61. The sheet metal on those cars is only slightly thicker than foil but all of the curves looked like beautifully formed stamping not beaten panels. He also gas welded it! Amazing stuff.
What amazes me is that he constructed his GT40 and also tracks it! That's cool. Charlie |
