This is the last update, and then this one is going into a box for a while. Finally got a longtail rear body, and as required, cut it down the middle, and did a test fit. I'm liking how it looks, but it's going to take a lot of effort to come back to a finished product, and I have several other projects I need to focus on. So, as Porky Pig used to say, "That's All Folks!"

Astonishing hard work! When I built, '50s-'80s, plastic was hard enuf. From what I've read and learned on the Net, the quality of resin products is improved. If one can find bodies, wheel, whatever in resin from reputable makers, it's an easier way to go. Best to you in your finish to the 917. They were something special!

The frustrating thing for me on this attempted build was the width difference between the AutoArt and the Minichamps, where I was under the assumption that the 917/10 was simply a bodywork change by Porsche. One or both of the diecast manufacturers missed somewhere, and it made the process laborious and lead me to put it on hold for a while.

Yes, besides the hard work necessitated by working with metal, the diecast manufacturers have varying levels of quality and proper dimension scale. Bless your heart for sharing your skills here!
