The fuel tank on any vintage car can be the source of much aggravation—and in many cases, it can be the cause of many a car's early demise. We theorized that a rusty tank was one of the original reasons our car was laid up in a Montana barn for over a decade.

Marshall Goldman, a high-end exotic car dealer here in the Cleveland area is offering his personal collection of over 60 cars from the 1970s, 80s and 90s. The collection includes 45 Porsches, with highlights like a very low mileage 1979 911 Turbo. This is an amazing grouping of cars that are in immaculate condition.

Our 1969 912 soft window Targa is undergoing some engine and suspension work. While we went through much of the car during its restoration, we left the low-mileage long block alone. Now it's time to go back through it and make sure it's up to snuff. We're also going to be fixing up the suspension with anti-roll bars and a wider (yet stock appearing) wheel and tire package.

If there ever was a bellweather for the 911 restoration business, the hump panel is it. Thanks to rising car values, we are seeing a huge increase in people needing this rather esoteric piece of sheetmetal—to fix rust most often caused by severe salt exposure or a leaking windshield seal on cars previously thought of as "unrestoreable." Folks, everything is restorable!

This weekend's project was sorting out the various lights on our 1973 911T and installing our rear window. We are in the final push to completion on this project and we're excited to get it on the road and sort out any more issues before we offer it for sale next month.
We noticed a few lights out before we tore the car apart for paint, but decided that it didn't make a lot of sense to spend a lot of time trouble shooting. The car is, of course, back together now and we're making sure everything works!

We ran across Jack Bushmeyer at a local autocross recently and as we were taking pictures of his very nice autocross and track-prepared 1970 911T, we struck up a conversation.

We had a new windshield installed in our Sepia 911 project over the weekend. We decided to go with the original manufacturer-Sekurit, with the same light-green tint that matches the rest of our windows and our factory COA documentation.

The 2014 Hershey Swap Meet was a great load of fun. We brought out a bunch of new products, as well as a selection of "scratch and dent" parts that make for great swap-meet-fodder.
