Odds and Ends Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Maybe if I start rubbing this little diecast model, it will grow up to be a real race car.... Stay tuned..... Edited March 13, 2016 by Odds and Ends b_pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds and Ends Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Awesome....that's exactly what I need. I love the little hex grip tire sponge!! LOL I'll give them a try and post the result here sometime tomorrow. - Darryl Edited March 13, 2016 by Odds and Ends TheWolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yep. Detail Spray on all of mine too. Except the ones still in the boxes or autographed. b_pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds and Ends Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Yes, correct....I already use Detail Spray and a Trim and Lugnut brush on my little collection. The Wolf got the intent of my post. As I mentioned in the first post that started this thread, "stay tuned". - Darryl Edited March 13, 2016 by Odds and Ends TheWolf, rkj4243, b_pappy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds and Ends Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yes, the Signal Green is a 914. They handle like a roller skate. These days, the hardest part is finding one that isn't a big pile of rust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds and Ends Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 OK, here's a teaser...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds and Ends Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 It worked! I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed last night and when I came in this morning, it was life size! It's cloudy and dreary here today so here are a few indoor shots. I'll take some more before it gets loaded into the trailer and on it's way later today. b_pappy, mc2hill, pirahnah3 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Wow she looks awesome, Did they let you take her for a spin????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds and Ends Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) LOL.....It's not street legal, almost always stalls in reverse, barely runs when it's cold, and doesn't like to go less than about 35mph! If you think you're a pretty good driver, get behind the wheel of a real race car and it will quickly humble you! Not to mention, this one has a sequential gearbox and a clutch that requires quite a bit of finesse. My buddy/customer/car owner said it's a pain to try and drive around the paddock area. It gets pushed almost everywhere it needs to go. I'll stick to street legal, "regular" cars for my driving! It is very cool though, to have this one and a few others that I care for come through the shop and remind me of just how close of cousins that the Porsche you can actually buy and the race cars are to each other. If you're bored, here's the Wiki on the Posrche Super Cup series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Porsche_Supercup and a link to the original Morellato Team: http://racecam.de/index.php?lang=en&site=teams&id=558&sid=13 Edited March 14, 2016 by Odds and Ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) I bet, have had several friends with race vehicles that didnt like anything but WOT lol. Still awesome to get to play with those cars. Porsche certainly knows how to build a car and alot of the track made it to the street and or vice versa. She isnt mine but had known the guy who owned it, saw her at Carlisle one year and yeah, Idle happened....barely.
