You might run into a vacuum there. Bill, or whatever his name is, can't even answer the phone. Pay your money and wait.
It would be interesting to follow this iconoclast around for one day. He has got to have a LOT invested in tooling and inventory but he runs that business like a hot dog stand at the beach. If it rains, he doesn't open up. |

Milt pretty much nailed it on the head. From what I have seen and heard he turns out quality work, but on his own schedule.

The parts I have bought from him include a front wall of the front trunk, a front half of the trunk floor including the front torsion bar mounts and the vertical pieces that space out the fenders near the door hinge mount.. .
All of the parts were great, and if anything even heavier that the factory parts. The best way to contact him is via old fashioned mail. He is a one man shop and when busy building parts during the day works his mail at night. He does not have someone to answer the phone, and the more orders he has the less likely you are to get ahold of him. The best time is about 6pm Eastern Time. He does great work and I would recommend him. Just have a boat load of patience. But you must have that already if you are into working on old p-cars...... Just my 2c worth....

Craig, I think we should just pool what's left of our 401k's and buy his company out!

Sounds like an ill-conceived, futile plan to me, let's do it!

Pay the extra bucks from another supplier, he would have to improve to "just suck" at customer service.
I see the same beyotch on five other Porsche model websites on this guy. He gets around to it on his own time.

Phone him....just after 8am or just before 5pm. He can't hear the phone when the machines are running.
