  1. 1) I am sure the owner spent a lot of money to meet his personal like. When he spent this much of money, he should never plan to sale the car. He will never get his money back.
    2) Jay, would you spent money to have the car like this or you rather spent money to restore and keep it as a real 356 porche?

  2. Think they went too far. The owner was an idiot. I think you could have retro's the body without going so crazy and then selling it. It's looks like a cross between a 911 in the back and a 356 in the front. So….not really loving it. Love the original cars each as they were but he didn't have to spend anywhere near that amount to get 1/2 a car right. Nice job by the shop but…..not smart.

  3. Who here feels like little Ryans story doesn't add up? I think the guy backed off because he seen the interior and design and final work and that hump on the rear and backed off. I don't see someone bailing like this for a dream car. I'd give up my wife for my dream car project. I just think this didn't click with him how West Coast Customs did it.

  4. I love the idea behind this build but something is off, I imagine it's that rear end hump which seems disproportionate to the rest of the car. IIRC the 356 isn't as humped.
