Hi Mike
You're welcome!
Awesome!
Can you send me an email Mike? tom.perazzo@verizon.net
Hello Tom
Will shoot you a mail!
Beyond factory. Setting a benchmark.
Thank you Rennch
I seeing some pretty nice work over there
Great job!
@@MikesRestorations Thanks man. Have a fun project just beginning!
Looks great Mike, great camera work in that small space, I can almost smell the glue and carpet
Hello Mark
Thanks..I think the up close video is really important to understand the detail
Its starting to take on new car smells=)
@@MikesRestorations It looks beautiful the way the interior is coming together, been a long journey with the end in sight. God Speed
Hi Mike, super job on the carpeting. I've seen similar but lighter material used to line van/camper conversions. It's 4-way stretch and seems quite forgiving but also does a good job. Coming together really well. Stay safe and keep up the god work.
Hello Pedro
Thank you..yes when working with inside/outside radiuses a little stretch in the material will
really produce a nice tight installation
Looks fantastic Mike!
Thanks Gary
Fantastic Mike, looks great.
Thanks Andrew
“Plenty of puff” haha that’s a new one on me Mike 😂 Nothing short of perfection and that roller looked very therapeutic ... I trust it smelt as good as it looked 🤪
Hello Mark
Haha.. I love a little puff here and there..
She's is definitely taking on some new car smells for sure
Yes that roller has many fine uses! including rolling out overdone muscles=)
Good to here from you
Cheers mate!
Love the videos. Would be great if once in a while you provide wider angle shots of the vehicle. Provides some context and shows how it's all coming together. Keep it up.
Hello Pedro
Great suggestion! I will indeed include to broader video going forward
Nice work Mike, I would like to do it in the same quality in my Classic Alfa.Thanks for video. :)
Thanks Rafa
Alfa is a great classic!
Good luck with your restoration!!
Hey Mike, I’m installing carpet on my 67 912 and wondering if you don’t contact cement the floor panels? If not do they just secure by the seats? Or should they be tacked lightly to stay put? Awesome video. Been playing it over and over again while doing our work!
Hello Lynwoodward
Im glad the video is helpful.
Generally the floor mats are removable in the event of moisture and trapping things under side...etc.
Kind of a serviceable area of the carpet works..
Lets us know how you did! I would love to see some pictures on the final install
Cheers!
Lookin GOOD!
Thanks Calvin!
Beautiful job! I wondered about your overall approach to restoring the car as I watched these last two videos...you have been very meticulous in maintaining an exact match to the original in other areas, but here you are adding padding and insulation (not a bad idea) where there were none originally. What is your thought process? : )
Hello John
Thanks=) Thats a great question!
Yes there is a definate build plan for this car.
I try to keep to Porsche originality as much as possible..however if there is an area that could be improved with modern materials without changing appearance or mechanical soundness I will use the modern alternative.
The end result Im shooting for is as factory looking build but a much shinier and more detailed in show & shine
than the original.
Original underlayment materials & undercoatings used in these early cars were awful ..Horse hair..smells really bad and feels crunchy with minimal quality sound absorption.
These were production cars back in the day and even though they were masterfully put together on an assembly line they still had to be done quickly and cost effectively.
Today we have the ability with modern paints, custom chrome plating, Interior fabrication materials etc.. to build art gallery grade restorations if that's the goal
However not all restorations would be classified under the same category in my opinion.
I would classify modern restorations under a few different category's.
*Restored and ruined
*Restored and very well done but not correct in many ways..incorrect parts , many donor parts or new replacement parts, body panels, engines, incorrect trim etc.
*Restored to original spec in every detail (Museum Quality) mostly an illusion..
*Restored to art gallery grade ( via show & shine, and detailed to the smallest degree)..SEMA/Pebble beach level
My end goal is an original as possible looking car, more than 90% original & authentic parts it came with from the factory..but much smoother, sounder & shinier than the original.
Im not sure what we will end up with when she's finished but will try my best for Porsche and the guys how built it
Hi Mike, nice work....as usual! Thank you letting us in on the build, I look forward to your videos! Quick question, where did you source the gray foam that you used on that small panel, I’d like to use it on the underside of my hood (non Porsche hood). Or do you recommend another product? Thanks!!
Hello Marc Thanks
With the exception of the dynaliner foam and dynamat
All my interior materials are supplied to me by autos international inc.
Im not sure that particular foam would be suitable for hood insulation
it not very dense and would need to be applied with contact cement.
1/4 dynaliner might work better in that situation. a peal and stick and you might try acetone to remove the logos..or maybe hood insulation which
is usually a mesh/fiberglass type material.
Here is a link to Autos Inc www.porschetopsandinteriors.net
Good Luck!
Great work! Who makes that carpet kit? Looking to replace mine. Thanks!
Hello Coult
The carpet kit was made to order from Autos International Inc. They are located in Escondido California.
Ask for Dorian and he will make you the correct set for your car. Very affordable, great service and perfect fit!
Good Luck!!
Greetings from LA...Awesome job. Is the engine work comming soon? Thanks for the great videos. Andy
Hello Andy
Engine will be last in the build..my guess is springtime next year to begin tear down
Great attention to detail. Bit ironic that you wore Nitril gloves for so long to protect the car from you, but you don’t protect yourself from the glues that you’re using
Hello Brian
You are very observant! Yes there is a fine line when and where to use gloves or go bare handed
Grease & paint usually are usually my deal breakers=)
