    reSee works is a place for those of us that like to personalize our cars and have a little Outlaw, Renegade, or Rgruppe blood flowing through our veins.
    That was copied off my website. www.reSeeworks.com.
    I've had the good fortune to work with Dave DiMaria (Vintage Car Works) for a couple years restoring cars exactly like they left the factory. Stock is great but it's not for me. To be honest I relate to Ferdinand Porsche when he said, "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself".
    Whatever sport, hobby, I've taken an interest in my whole life, I've personalized my equipment. After spending time with any mass produced thing I end up personalizing it. I re-See it. I find little niches if you will. Like a 4 cylinder 911 engine in a 900 series long hood car. The car has been written up 3 times. If I had built the 200th 912-6? Maybe if I was Daniel Ricciardo's dad. There are now 3 on the road and 6 to 8 more in the works that I know of. I like the challenge of doing what's never been done before.
    It has attracted people who want one. Now it's turned into a small niche of like minded souls.

    I've been very fortunate to work with someone like Jon the Metal Surgeon and several others in the Vintage Porsche world. But my greatest bit of good fortune is having the owner of this car be someone who has turned out to be a great friend. I'll leave it up to him to determine if he wants his name revealed.

    I’m betting that there’s a fair amount of us guys/gals that prefer our cars tailored to our choice of “custom” rather than the the way they originally left the factory. The good thing is that there’s plenty of room for both. I, like a lot of people here, have an extremely hard time leaving anything mechanical alone. We enjoy a hobby that by its nature builds relationships as we interact with likeminded individuals. Some of my best friends have come from this sandbox. We not only share in the hobby but far more importantly (to me at least) life.

    I consider myself lucky to be the guy Chris is referring to in his above post. I’ve learned a lot from him and appreciate his willingness to share with me and the community at large. We’ve had the pleasure of sharing and experiencing life together. There’s quite a number of people on this board that I consider a friend too, but we just haven’t had the opportunity to meet face to face, yet.
