NOW would be the perfect time to pull some molds offa' that thing. Sell a few copies and that would give you a free 936JR to keep.


Yeah, the boat repair guy and I gave it some thought. Heck maybe that's what he did ! He has had it since the end of April !
Heck now you got me thinking about it again.
Thanks Jeff.......


A bit more than pulling molds off it,made from a heap of small parts to make this body it just isn't that easy.
When you repair a glass body you relieve the cracks in the gelcoat with a die grinder and fill the grooves with resin and rovings or chop up glass mat and add it to a little resin,then go under the body and find why it cracked to start with,thats how you will know.

You are absolutely right! I studied the body when I had it in the backyard scraping the rhinoliner off of it. The body is very complicated and the sections are incredible. A 3D scan of it would be cool.

Had to pull the frame from a friends shop because he was too busy. Had one of my shop welders work for me after work hours and get the front section reattached. Butt welded 1" square tubing not the strongest. Put some strap pieces on the inside and outside. Also removed the differential unit and can now get it off to sandblasting and powder coat. Can't wait to get I back.

Found this youtube link and it's probably the 5th car built by A.I.R..

Some good details shown that will help me with the rebuild.

Obviously appears to be in Japan.

Recently moved to Irvine and am able to finally squeeze some room in to get back to the chassis. Built a rolling frame to be able to reassemble the chassis at a comfortable height for my back. I thought I had possibly contracted COVID as I had a coworker infected so I prepared for some possible quarantine time.

Cleaning and refreshing suspension pieces first. Then I have to design and fab a new brake pedal /master cylinder set up up front.

Car seen at the Petersen Museum may be at Canepa in Scotts Valley. Worth a call, maybe?

Cool project for sure!

Yes it was Canepas car. Porsche Guy, Ken Morse, sold it to Canepa. Morse and I have talked and when I get it a little further along he wants to come over and see it. That would be cool since he is the creator along with McGlaughlin from AIR.

Morse claims that they built four cars but my research shows that there are five. So that will be an interesting discussion when we meet someday.

Up in Monterey to see family and make a side trek to Canepa to see the Morse original 936 mini. They are closed but allowed me upstairs alone to see the museum display. Hoped to see some areas to help with my reassembly but found that this original was built quite different. Anyway took a few other photos to help me. Fun trip and many thanks for their hospitality.

According to Kerry Morse our cars were the inspiration for the Jules version that Porsche released. Supposedly Dr Porsche sat in the Morse car and they tried some minor marketing in Germany at that time.
Watching the BAT auction to get a feel of the current market. They made 80-100 of the Jules version and there’s only five ‘Morse’ creations. Much more rare. I hope to colaborate with Kerry to do a story on the karts creation process.

Jules versions were made in Poland and ours were made in the USA.

Sooooo... restoration started in 2014...six years and still not quite done, about normal for a car restoration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
But percentage wise you'll likely make money on this car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)


Cool project, great find.

Yeah. Life stuff keeps getting in the way. Wife started renovation of her Parents old RV and guess who got stuck doing stuff only to have her lose interest and sell it off.
I’m happy to get back on it and will take my time and have fun doing it.

Frustrating time trying to align the rear axle and the bearing blocks. A center support next to the diff (see pics) causes interference if the bearing blocks are are not level to it. I suspect that the chassis mounting pads are also not flat, or level with each other.

My have to bring it back to work and put it on my big surface plate and measure everything for shims. Ughhhhhhhhh.
