This is a Rat Rod I did in the '70's as a kid based on a red Aurora Porsche' 906. I installed in the back an engine from the Porsche 917 & Large pipes in back.Used original T-Jet Hot Rod decals.Also AJ aluminum wheels.
Took some real cleaning on the copper & brushes & a brand new set of Aurora AFX magnets plus lube to finally get it started again after all these years.Fortunately the tires were not totally dried out & reverse spinning on an emery board fixed things.

Cool blast from the past Neal!

I always loved the much maligned 904. Dunno if she can handle the the 917 flat twelve though....1100hp in full trim would twist the poor ole girl right up.
