Re: 906

Hi. My name is Chris and am also planing a 906 replica. Take a look at www.gunnaracing.com . They have just restored a 906 and have ALL the reference pics you could want in there 'PROJECTS' section.

If anyone has ANY tech drawing of blueprint ref, however rough or small, I would be hugely appreciative if anyone could send me a scan etc. Dont loose faith and be intimidated by the detailing. Start the project and the rest will happen.

All the best. Chris

Re: 906

I looked into making a Porsche 906 replica a while back, I was just about to have computer 3D models made up to then convert to CAD for machining. Couldnt find any kits when I was looking about 12 months ago...

Re: 906

You know, I was thinking about this, How about a rebody of a boxer. I woudln't be a replica but it would be safe(er).

Re: 906

The boxter idea is a good one, but you'd have to trade off the increased safety for a lot of weight, probably close to 1,000 lb.
