Just WOW!....I just wish I had 1/2 your talent sir!

Thanks for sharing!

Alex, thank you, I have some talent, but this is mostly checkbook talent!

WOW! Looking great! Excellent choice of colors. Albert Blue is the color I have chosen for my 911 repaint. One of my all time favorite Porsche colors. Refreshing to see it on a 904, also.

Keep the updates coming!

Great color, and great attention to detail!

If someone could rebuild that site on a V-bulletin structure and keep it going, it could be a great source of information for 904 owners and enthusiasts. Or maybe it could be merged into Pelican Parts???

Love this car... this is the only replica I'd consider seriously... one day....

Odd question maybe, but given the featherlite weight of that car, aren't you a little worried the 3.6 is a bit much ? I know, there's no such thing as too much hp per Mark donohue, but you might be dancing on the throttle all the way to 4th gear ! ;-)

Greg,

I put the 3.6 in my back date. I'm currently building a 3.0 dual plug for the car.

Very awesome - I'd love to build a 906 like this - albert Blue is an awesome color too

She's buffin incredible - sweet ride

I just wish I had half the cars he has owned/built!

Wonderful build going on here, beautiful, just beautiful car.

Stunning. Can't wait to see the finished product!

YEAH! Look at that! Looks great!

I want a pic of you driving it around, before it gets too hot out to even sit in it.

How many of those are they building? Looks like at least one besides yours.

That looks freaking incredible.

That is exactly what I said when I looked at the 3rd pic. Gorgeous.

I think I just had a bit of a crisis...

Looks phenomenal! Will you put a big round white number label on it?

Mark, Congratulations - your 904 is simply beautiful. You definitely win the "Job" award for your patience during the build - a year plus. One request - please post photos of the 3.6 being mounted - looking forward to seeing the fitting process.

Mark the car is looking great! Any updates?

Boy that thing is SCHWEEEEET ! I can't wait to see the GoPro video of you going through the gears in a spirited fashion.

That is such a great color. That carpet kit is extremely similar to the one I put in my Super Beetle about 20 years ago.

Good lord, that is beautiful. Congrats on a fine project.

Superb. I know you're looking forward to your first drive.

The Monogram 904 GTS was my first slot car back when the commercial track boom first hit in the mid-60's. I think it was $8.
