First class job. I remember when I first saw a 356 it was my friends mothers car. I didn't have much respect for it. At the time I had a 68 442 and my family had had a few Karmann Ghias. So my evaluation was more along the lines of so.... your mother brought that from Europe? Why? I honestly did not mean to be insulting but I had no knowledge of Porsche other than slow but handled well. Ferrari on the other hand.. yes, I respected them. Not long after a British friend summed up North American cars, "Brute Force and Pig Ignorance." Too true at the time. To date I have not driven a 356 or a 911, which I regret.

Very nice work on what is quite a complex car to restore. The shape and form is all compound curves and requires great skill to get right. This is testimony to the restorers high level of skill.

You did a real fine jam up job on the little car and probably save it from the auto crusher. At todays auto prices, I expect to see a lot more resto jobs going on. Thats what fueled the hot rod era. overpriced cars . so they reverted t o restorations and hot rods so they could have unique cars. Great giong as the final results are spectacular!

Another great classic restored! This car deserved second life. We need more people like this, its sad how many of these beautiful cars are just rusting away in earth.
