    Thank you Excellence for the great feature....

    Recent edition contains article on my car. ('67 S). I'm most grateful (and humbled). Thanks to all who have sent compliments.
    Perhaps for space limitations, some of the persons who made the project happen were inadvertently omitted.
    I'd like to share them with you here.



    Ollie's Machine Shop, Lake Havasu City, Az: engine machining, oiling mods
    Tim@Morgan Machine, Walnut Creek, Ca: p&c and cylinder head overhaul
    Eric Shea, Sandy, Ut: brake caliper overhaul, lines, and hoses (fit perfectly)
    Mike@Mike's Custom Upholstery, Novato, Ca: misc. interior work
    Snake Oyl and Dallas Steering Wheel: belts and steering wheel refurb./re-wrap.
    Elephant Racing: suspension bushings
    EPS Plating, Hayward, Ca: plating all the hardware
    Walker's Custom Chrome, Lake Shasta City, Ca: brilliant chrome work
    Sherm's Plating, Sacramento, Ca: Chrome, straightening, and polishing
    Kyle@West Coast Specialty Coatings, Concord, Ca: Powder coating (the best in the business)
    Eric Linden@AFS, Seattle, Ca: Original houndstooth material, headlight rings, horn grilles, wipers, and just about anything that fit my car. Best you can buy!
    Freddie Hernandez@Vintage Sportscar Restoration, Phoenix, Or: Superb metalwork, bodywork, and paint!
    International Mercantile: The best rubber and seals I could find.
    and, my long time acquaintance and early Porsche guru extraordinaire, Jim@EASY, Emeryville, Ca for helping to fill in all the blanks.
