Is There An End To This Rust?
    

    The winning car from our "We Can Save Them All" contest was a really big project and not for the faint of heart. We knew that from the start, yet it's always a little surprising when even more rust is found—despite the fact that the car was a sandblasted-bare shell.

A very nice host hotel has been chosen with accommodations for a large group, but be sure to register early. More information and registration will be available soon

Take A Tour of Stoddard
    

    Let's take a look at how your Porsche parts get on their way to you, from the online or phone order process all the way through until they leave our warehouse via the parcel truck.  

    While we've had a mild winter here in Ohio, today happens to be a bit cold and snowy here in Highland Heights, Ohio. Our facility is at 190 Alpha Park Drive and the plows have already come through. We are open for business!

We Can Save Them All— Project Progress

    We've been getting updates from Trevor Gates, the winner of our We Can Save Them All contest. While the prize will certainly help Trevor get his 356A back on the road, he's still got a long way to go to get there.

Vintage Correct Bolts and Nuts
    

   The standardization of bolt sizes and threads isn't quite as old as you might think. It wasn't until 1947 that standard metric sizing was created by the new ISO (International Standards Organization).  The specs changed somewhat in the 1960s as 8mm bolts changed from having 14mm hex heads to 13mm. These older bolts and nuts with the larger hex are hard—if not impossible—to find.  We've got a stock of a variety of 8mm bolts and nuts that will help you properly restore your 356. They're made in Germany and have a black oxide finish.

Winter Wheel Deal
    

    Here's a great winter time project—wheel replacement. There's plenty of time to take your bent and rusted original wheels off the car and bolt on a set of factory-fresh new ones. Our disc brake wheels are built using modern production techniques for corrosion resistance, strength and trueness.
