What a great model Jon .... for everyone else, I met Jon’s son at caffeine and machine before the Ddk swap meet and he was showing us some of his models he’d made ... he’s a very talented lad

A few more shots, he has a small 3D plastic printer so was able to design and print the custom items , wheels, mirrors, fuel filler, headrests, Prototipo, etc

Keeps him off the street corners Image

I work in the trade and am always so impressed at your shop and the work you guys do. Not just the 911 stuff; the 356 you documented must represent a template as to what can be done with replacement sheetmetal - as imperfect as it. I wonder what percentage of all the shiny 356's out there have 'orrible metal under the paint? Best, John
