Mark, thanks for your reply - sounds like there are some 917 fans on this forum!

Howard, in response to your post - yes, this is an aluminium tub, but only from the firewall forward. The rear of the car is still a tubular space frame, approximately fitting the original 917 chassis, but designed to exactly match the original car's dimensions.

Any other 917 builders out there?
