Dustoff - Fly Porsche 917K

Postby HomeRacingWorld » Wed Nov 14, 2012 9:49 pm

Here is an old favorite. Many miles and it shows.

Wheel hubs cracked, repaired and cracked again. Besides, axle had a slight wobble.

SlotCarCorner 15x10 insert wheels and turned the originals down for inserts. 36t Slot.it spur but used original pinion. Meshes well. Sloting Plus guide/SCC braid up front.

Gave it a bath and a polish.

Runs very well. Good to have this beast back in action.

Thanks Jim, yes sir. You can see the fronts were cracked and I glued them too.

Harry, love when you post dustoff posts. My cars are still living in boxes since 2010. Really don't have a place to display them, one day.
