    A 911 for Me

    This is my 40th year in the business of auto body repair, specializing in Porsches, and I've never owned a 911. I've always been a 356 owner - 12 in all that I've rebuilt and restored over the years. So, with a little inspiration from a friend, I've decided to build a 911 for me. I'm starting with a 1975 911 Coupe; here are some photos...

    Congratulations John. This build will pay you in a way none of the others ever could. It will be fun to see if you decide to draw inspiration or add details from your many other builds.
