Hi Mark

the drawings cost a lot so we will not be selling them, but we will be making cars available with chassis made from the drawings.

regards
Chris

Re: Porsche 908/910 project

Nothing wrong with quality, but in Porsche's racing cars the quality was in the engineering. The detail finish was crappy. The restorations and replicas are going to a level of finish that Porsche never bothered about.

Re: Porsche 908/910 project

Hi Chris

I know you've searched Europe for 906 parts/references. Did you see this car when it was for sale? Some nice reference pics.

Porsche 906 Carrera 6 Werksrennwagen © Auto-Salon-Singen, Autosalon, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes, Bugatti, Autos, Cars, Images, Bilder, Photo

And here's a nice chassis reference pic ...

PS The Lola GT's still on the horizon - still in search for the work/life balance (and the cash).

Re: Porsche 908/910 project

I am busy buiding a 910 replica. The chassis is half complete but I need to get hold of technical drawings of the chassis before I get any further. Are these available anywhere

I'm also interested in your transaxle but probably set that aside for next year.

Best regards,
