Brudda Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Oh boy. I opened the box. This car was a poster on my wall as a kid. Also with Farrah. So I was going to start the Gurney F1 kit but I put it aside to do the Porsche. Have to thank my friend Mark for patiently waiting to receiving payment. Now it’s paid for, so here we go. Saw Dave Thibodeau’s Porsche. Holly mackerel! I cannot even come close to his standards but I’m going to give it a try . To me , he is a grand master modeler. . This is going to probably take a year or so. I’m not in a hurry , also we may be moving back east so it may take longer. Going to do the engine first. Well , here goes........
Dann Tier Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 WOW!!!!!, i'm gonna love following along with this one!!!
Dave Van Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Above my pay grade!! Didn't know those kits were injection molded.
Brudda Posted February 27, 2024 Author Posted February 27, 2024 Ok restarting the 917/30. This will be a long project. The engine has the plug wires installed. Exhaust next. Here we go again. 2
Bainford Posted February 28, 2024 Posted February 28, 2024 Looking very nice, Bruce. I'll be watching this one come together. 1
Randy D Posted February 28, 2024 Posted February 28, 2024 Okay, a huge flat 12 with mechanical fuel injection. What's not to love!!!! Looks great my friend!!! Randy 1
Codi Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 Growing up I was always fascinated with Can-Am. You are to be commended for taking on the king of the beasts with this build and I'll certainly be following this one too with keen interest. cheers, tim 1

Kind of hard not to. 1
nickfzr61 Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 Looks great. You’re doing an excellent job. Definitely following this one. 1
Brudda Posted March 23, 2024 Author Posted March 23, 2024 A little more work finished on the exhaust.
absmiami Posted March 23, 2024 Posted March 23, 2024 Biting my lip - the Farrah poster reference invites all sorts of responses that would make the moderators sad … enjoy …. Consider some posts with the oil line instructions in focus - would be most helpful to those of is that want to add some detail to to a 917 kit in smaller scale …
absmiami Posted March 23, 2024 Posted March 23, 2024 Farrah approved thread… Sorry - couldn’t resist 1
Chris Smith Posted March 23, 2024 Posted March 23, 2024 Great to see you back onto this particular project Bruce. As usual off to a great start!

Hello Chris! Yeah after about a year I thought it might be good to start this up again. I look at the instructions and get a little dizzy. Holy cow. Getting a 1/8 Ferrari GTO from Mark soon so I might have to put this away and do the Ferrari. We shall see. Plus still waiting on parts for the 1/8 gull wing. Restoring a 1:1 1967 mustang GT. And restoring my 1965 mustang. So a little busy. On 3/23/2024 at 11:29 AM, absmiami said: Thank you for the pic not Farrah. Had this poster and the 917/30 in my bedroom as kid.
Brudda Posted March 28, 2024 Author Posted March 28, 2024 Ok just completed the turbos. Took me several weeks just to do these. Fuel system next. Been slacking on models a lot. Wanted to work on this Saturday but seeing Adam Corrolla at the auto museum. Attending a dinner and the podcast. He has a special guest. Jay Leno is in town, so we hope it’s Jay. I will have pics. Anyway hope to have the fuel system finished in a few weeks maybe months.
Chris Smith Posted March 28, 2024 Posted March 28, 2024 Looking good Bruce! So you have been shmoozing with celebrities ?

You have met Andre at our club show. He runs the Harrah auto museum. Good friend of mine. He told me about Adams Datsuns at the museum. He also told me about the pod cast and dinner. Everything was sold out but he made an extra seat for me . It’s who you know. 1

Adam Carolla , Jay did not make it. He does not like the bad weather. But Paul Newmans daughter made it. They signed my glovebox door. 1
