The great thing about PCA is they would document those question and answer sessions and publish them in their magazine and later, in their books. I wore out every issue of upfixing and had the whole set.

Did you ever see Chuck’s 917? That had to be the most original 917 I’ve ever laid eyes on.

I once thought about buying a replica 2.8 RSR that a friend of mine had built. He spent a ton of money on it; it had a lot of the correct parts including a proper 2.8l engine and factory steel RSR flares all the way around. I wasn’t happy with a few of the things and was running the numbers to see what it would take to finish it to my liking. One of the parts I was looking at was a torsion bar tube, because the RSR used a different one to accommodate its different trailing arms. I called up Stoddards’s and he had one in stock…. Those were different times, for sure.
