porsche tractor

One of our customers recently bought this Porsche tractor.
Now this looks like fun!


It will be leaving soon to go to the farm.
I think more for joy rides than to actually work.

Today Kevin is doing some work on this customer's 962 nose.

shoot the duct

For all you skate fans....here's Kevin shooting the ducts.

Bruce and Fran just came for their afternoon visit.
Fran is still a little shy and wouldn't pose for a photo.
Bruce is so relaxed, he's lost control of his tongue.


ahhhhh....Bruce and Kevin are both getting a break!

a little brush work...

a little cutting...

pause for inspection...

fran

Fran runs with Bruce, but it has taken her a little longer to accept the food that Kevin puts out for her. She is still a scared-e-cat, but she is getting a little more friendly each day.

She is such a pretty cat.

back to the old grind

One more poser shot that a friend just emailed us.
Kevin & Floyd with the "Jig-A-Loo" lubricant girls.

A little repair work needed here.

Back to the old grind.

Making more fiberglass dust.

Something about this photo tells me
that what Kevin is doing is dangerous!
Grinding in the direction of his other fingers doesn't look too safe.

Now that our Sebring deadline is over,
Kevin can get back to doing a little of this.

Audi is being inducted into the Sebring Hall of fame this weekend,
so Kevin bought a 1958 Auto Union DKW Van,
fixed it up like this & now we're taking it to the Sebring 12 Hours to help celebrate!


Here is Kevin's tribute to Audi

Look at that cute face!

Loading her up!

1973 Porsche Carrera RS

We are restoring a 1973 Porsche Carrera RS. It's suppose to be finished by tomorrow to go to Amelia Island, so the boys are working overtime.

Here's the car in the early stages of restoration.

It's getting there...but there are still a lot of little parts to put on.
Good luck boys!!

steering wheel hub conversion

Do you have that one pair of pants that is the same size as all the others, but for some reason, it's bigger or smaller than the rest? Well, early this morning, Kevin grabbed the pair that's bigger than the rest & forgot his belt, so before I got to the shop he held his pants up with this tie wrap. That's his Jethro look.

Here he is converting a steering wheel hub for a 904.

a little work on the lathe

showing off his handy work

Here's the underside of the finished steering wheel.

It's ready for action now.
