100% agreed Joris!
Enjoy the Sky blue (6403) Coupe. The pics don't really do it justice though, the color just pops in person.
Sneak preview of coming attractions 55 Speedster. Son of the 2nd owner has had it parked in the garage for at least 25+ years. Jack and Kerry are going to get it up and going.
In the current Registry mag there's some coverage of the SoCal 356 Club Swapmeet over the LitMeet weekend in March. Bruce Sweetman was nice enough to send me this pic and allow me to post it here. To me it's classic Jack.

Hope everyone has a relaxing Memorial day weekend, enjoy the pics from this Friday.
View looking back at the shop, with two more 356's in the shop.
A locking gas cap that Craig brought by the shop to show us. Pretty cool!
Here's a 63 Coupe that has been off the road since 1996. Another one that Jack and Kerry are going to get it up and going. I want to share an interesting comment the owner made, he said he's not going to restore it because then he'd be tempted to sell it, instead he just wants it mechanically sound so he can enjoy driving it.

Trevor, thanks for sharing the pictures, I always enjoy them even though I've never been to Jack's shop or met him. I have a lot of respect for all the vendors and appreciate all the help and advice I have gotten getting my Speedster back on the road after having it is storage since 1975. Living in central Oregon the closest 356 to me is 90 miles away and not any Porsche repair shop near me so all are support from venders and the registry has been a live saver for me. Thanks to Jack and all the venders along with member here on the registry.

Thanks to Jack and Kerry our own coupe now runs better than ever. Thanks Jack for reducing the temptation to sell it - even when your own customer made an unsolicited offer. And thanks for the pix Trevor
Looks familiar - I took this last March on one of the first runs in my car going to the open houses in Costa Mesa
Notice the break-neck speed on the 405
I'll have to make the trek to Jack's one of these Fridays - good excuse not to go to work...
