Re: Porsche 908/910 project

Gregg,

Yes, I have partnered with LMK and am the U.S. Dealer. I meet with them a few weeks ago to finish the business plan for the U.S. and Canada markets. We are very excited about expanding the product line in the next two years. I will have all the details later this fall.

Randy.

Mike,

Fly from LA? If so, wait until I get my 906 this winter and you could drive it.

Randy.

Re: Porsche 908/910 project

Hi, Fantastic project
I am doing a similar project and have a 3.0 SC engine.
How do I mate a G50 Box to it as it doesnt just turn upside down. Two bolts match but two dont. Does the engine have to be drilled or is there a plate out there.

Re: Porsche 908/910 project

Does anyone know how to contact Brad Hook. I live in Hawaii and would love to see the car. It would be nice if the members list could search for members in Hawaii. I have seen Alan Zane's Daytona coupe. I had bought one in Dec. but found that insurance is not available in Hawaii for kit cars. I had to settle for a C6 Corvette.

Brad lives in Hawaii but his cars are locked up in Southern California. You wouldn't be able to see them.

Re: Porsche 908/910 project

His 908 and 906 are both real. He's had the 906 for several years and purchased the 908 about two years ago. I don't know the chassis number on the 908, sorry. I think the 906 is chassis number 906-118. A friend of mine just restored the sister car... 906-119. If you would like to see Brad's 908, your best chance is at the Monterey Historics in August. He may even bring his 906.

Randy.

So yes, Chris, how is YOUR 908 project going right now?

Re: Porsche 908/910 project

Hello to all of you.
A little strange it may be that I'm here and is after the cars like Porsche 908,906,917 or Ferrari P4 type. I do like the GT40 a whole lot, but I want something a little different and also I don't know anything about the reproduction car world. I saw this thread and are any of these cars already for sale?

Re: Porsche 908/910 project

Hi Guys

I hope to be able to have body moulds for the 906 available for sale along with a tube frame chassis. No prices yet, but they will be realistic and affordable

Regards

Chris.
