Porsche 917 Tamiya RC F103 Selfmade Vacuum Formed Body

Porsche 917, 1969 version. In the Zeltweg 1000km race, the Porsche scored its first victory. The 1969 version had an aerodynamic unstable body, which made the car very difficult to handle at higher speeds. Particularly the rear start to lift.
The 1970/71 body versions had finally much more downforce and the "unbeatable" season 70/71 began for the Porsche 917.
The body is selfmade by vacuum forming and runs on a Tamiya F103 chassis

I just discovered your channel. I'm interested in learning to vacuum form RC bodies because I can not find the bodies I want. So, thank you. I subscribed and will watch more. I hope you are still out there making videos and beautiful race cars.
