    1965 911 metal work restoration and paint.

    This is our second 65 @ The Metal Surgeon and it sure does feel good we've been chosen to undertake the metal surgery to restore this 911 back to factory specification from the previous and numerous repair jobs that have been undertaken.
    Here are a few shots to get the thread started of when i first visited the owner and car.Thank you in advance for following along the build process!

    Are you going to modify the parts to have the appearance of the original car? It will be interesting to watch this thread.

    Once the filler is removed you can see how the left hand rear quarter was replaced poorly.

    This car belongs to a friend of mine. I referred him to John. There are two shops in the Denver I refer people to for this kind of work. John and Dave DiMaria of Vintage Car Works. They both do very fine work indeed. With John you out of towners get to follow along. I'm down that way once or twice a week for various Porsche related reasons. It's fun to see what these guys are working on at any given time.

    Fantastic. Really digging the jig that bolts to the e-brake fittings. Clever.
