As with all builds, they have a start from the Green flag, and most do cross the finish line with hopefully the checked flag flying. And so my Porsche 911 GT1 crossed the finish line late last night.
Since my last update all the various misc parts like lights, lenses, rear bumper, antenna, windshield wipers, mirrors, door handles, the rubber window trim either inside or outside, and the windshield sun shade decal that had its issues due to the fact that it goes right over the start of the air induction intake. Took two light applications of Solvaset to snug down into all the seams.
The front body shell needed a lot of tender loving care and coaxing to settle down on to the chassis, as all the various layers of paint just added to a way to snug of a fit. Finally, it did settle in. I’m still working on both body shells for a better fit. Both are just dry fitted in the pictures as the engine compartment clip needs to be removable. You’ll notice on the two rear tires all those strange sanding marks as I tried to completely remove the center molding seam. Never quite seen anything like that before, so I stopped and left it as is as once the rear clip is on, you can’t see the tops of the tires
Here’s a dozen pictures of the finished Porsche as she now sits on the base of her own display case.
And thanks to all of you that have followed the build, and posted a comment, I can assure you that it’s greatly appreciated.
