car porn shop
Looks like Pete Sorensen's shop, PBR Restorations. Nice early car guy. Been around for a long while working on Porsches.
Delivered many sets of wheels there .....You can tell he is a trusted mechanic by the 6 pipe car in the photo:)

I've got to go there this morning and pick up my Ratrod. I'll try and take some better pictures with a better camera .
Pete has been working on and restoring early Porsches since 1976 when he bought his first Porsche, a 67 911S. He has been in his shop in Crockett, Ca since 1979.Quote:

OK... That Pete... Heard about the shop in Crockett for years... never been there or met him........ looks like the right place to be
It's a great shop, and the building he's in is VERY cool. Had the pleasure of having Pete up here for a visit, turned out he knew one of my dad's old army buddies, very small world!
Very cool shop indeed. The first time I walked into the place I couldn't believe my eyes. Have worked with Peter for years. He's a superb mechanic and all around great guy.

The panel truck and trailer make a nice looking pair. Is that a late Bowlus or early Airstream?
