Re: WCSTA -25- 10164Three pieces
Thanks Ryan. Yes having the car on the rotisserie I made has been invaluable in getting to the underside of the car and to be in a comfortable position for fitting panels and welding in.
A bit of a delay on the updates as I’ve opened up my own 356 metal werkshop and am taking on customer 356’s. However, I have made progress. Here are some pics.

Re: WCSTA -25- 10164Three pieces
Where I’m at currently. Fitting the passenger door, front fender, rocker, door threshold and aligning the door. Super time consuming. Successes here are measured in millimeters and sometimes fractions of.
Thanks for checking out the progress!

Looks good, keep the glass far away from welding and grinding. Hot metal will pit the glass instantly.

Re: WCSTA -25- 10164Three pieces
Making more progress on the passenger side - almost done re-constructing and welding in these panels. Since I started off with basically a shell and a few parts I’ve never considered this a restoration to 100% stock appearances, however I don’t want a wild modified “thing” that looks dated right after it’s built. Therefore, I’m pulling parts from the proverbial Porsche parts bin and one of the changes I’m making is I’m changing the flat A/B/C rocker for the earlier curved/rolled Pre A rocker. I love the look of the car being lower but still having the drivability. I don’t know if most people would even notice, but I think Porsche got it right the first time and should’ve continued with the curved/rolled rocker. Modifications to make a Pre A rocker on my A are below. Additionally, instead of doing an overlap weld as the factory did to attach the rocker panel, I’m using a butt weld. Any questions please ask.
