What excellent work your shop did on the body repairs. It seems like it’s something only those in the know and who’ve seen it can understand: the bodies of these simple little cars are really very complex.

Everything else done in great taste and execution.

Really pleased with the article in 911 and Porsche World which came out today. Very interesting how Johnny compares old and new Porsche.

I had the pleasure of seeing this car and Greg’s Speedster Hot Rod today when I delivered his calendars - both stunning and even better in the flesh
