Here's my latest obsession. This is a Porsche 962 based "Can Am" that Heinz-Jörgen Dahmen ran in the Interserie during 1995 and 1996. Dahmen ran the car as far back as 1988 but in more conventional coupe bodywork. The build is of course based on a Tamiya Porsche 962.

The chopping has begun, I love my Tamiya saw

The cross bracing is just temporary to keep the body from disintegrating. The roof and doors have come off and the tail bobbed. The opening will be filled with a flat sheet to form the single central cockpit. I've also filled the radiator exits as side exits will be added later.

Further progress ;D The rear deck has now been removed and the entire area filled with sheet plastic. Next up is removal of the front section. I will add 956 bodywork for the longer nose and deeper section between the fenders. I'm avoiding the rear bodywork as I can't find a picture of it but if I get to the point it's holding me up I'll just guess at it.

Hi everyone. Guess what. We picked up this car last year in a large group of parts that we bought in the UK. The real, full-sized car that Dahmen raced. It's actually a large pile of parts right now and is a really big stretch to call it "a car".

I'm curious to see how this build is going indeed?
