"The
garage that holds the three Porsches is all scratch built.
The windows, garage door, i-beams, loft, lighting, fuse
box and all outlets where scratch built from my own drawings.
The
light blue GT2
has extensive work done to it. I started by removing
the door and replacing it with a resin piece from Renaissance
along with plenty of Tamiya 2 part putty on the door jam,
the hood was cut out and everything under the hood was scratch
built from bare plastic.
The
fuel cell took about 3 weeks to get it the way I
wanted. I made a body harness for it that sits in
the interior compartment.
The
dark blue 959 is no where near completion I'm going
to have that one look like it's being restored on jacks
with body work. "

911: Perfection by Design - The story is matched with
superb photos. As is often the case with images captured by
Leffingwell’s lens, many are the kind you’ll pore
over before turning the page. Porsche 911 lovers are in no
way lacking for printed reading material. A glance at the
average bookseller’s shelf may turn up more Porsche
books than any other marque. It takes a great deal to set
a new 911 book apart from the crowd, but a near coffee-table-sized
format, stylish design and beautiful magazine-style photography
do the trick.
Porsche:
The Road from Zuffenhausen - Here is the entire history
not only of the 356 but also of the development of competition
versions, and of the evolution of the 550 RSK and the legendary
904 Carrera GTS. The story of the 911 occupies half the book,
as this model has survived for nearly four decades?the longest
production of any single postwar automobile design. A lavishly
illustrated history of the most recognized sports-car maker
in the world—Porsche—a story that began more than
a century ago. Porsche: The Road from Zuffenhausen is the
first book in more than twenty-five years to chronicle in
such meticulous detail the early years of the renowned automobile
company. Perfect for the more than 500,000 Porsche owners
and the millions of Porsche enthusiasts, Porsche is a lively
narrative of the cars and the people who created them. In
the opening chapters, the reader will find the true heart
of Porsche and its dedication to design and engineering, and
then move on to the pre–World War II development of
the first Porsche prototypes, as well as the development of
the Volkswagen by Professor Ferdinand Porsche in the late
1930s. The story of the company’s early postwar years
in Austria is a tale of commitment to an idea, an idea that
resulted in the first 356 model and in a very short time established
Porsche as one of Germany’s leading car makers.
