    Wow! That's so cool. There are some early SWB heater tubes, which are sitting below the rocker panels. I was searching for these, but had to reproduce them finally.

Pulled out of a barn in California..... I've got a LOT of work to do to catalog it and figure out exactly what I've found, but it's essentially all pieces that you can't get anymore and that nobody is reproducing. Mostly internal pieces that up till now probably haven't been needed, but with the restorations that are starting to happen as the value prices inch up I think these will be invaluable to cars that are basket cases needing full resto's.

    Awesome!

    If you have no plans of reproducing, at least they can be scanned and be available for future reproduction (3D printing? ).

    What I would like to know is if you have all the sheet metal to assemble a car or that the missing NOS pieces are available elsewhere so that every piece of sheet metal could be reproduced correct if needed.

    BTW what is the large Porsche sign on the right? A flag, a shield?

    Sweet! The mother load of sheet metal. Seems to me your reasoning is spot on about increasing value driving full blown restos into the future, especially the SWB cars. Congrats, I look forward to seeing this pile unraveled.

    Wow - I'll bet the story behind this would make a great book. When you catalog, please keep me in mind for an early latch panel; I'm getting desperate.
    BTW, if values are currently "inching up", what does the market look like when they explode?
