That 356 is a 1953 Pre A coupe. Totally stripped waiting for us to restore it. Or if you're interested in it PM me.

Ethan and I will be there early AM, but we can't stay very long as the lad has to work at 3pm.
I'll have to see if your seat fits in the old bug. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Dang it, my son has his conference meet for cross country on the 27th. If he wasn't running I would make the drive North. Please take lots of pictures.

Me and the lad were there, word's getting out, this years showing was at least 3X's the size as last years. Real cool stuff like looking at a die for a full 356 nose clip.
The Lad now has every RD panel needed for his car.

RD has new machines, more presses on line, their product line has exploded in size.
I bet in a few more years they'll out grow their present large shop.
This family owned endeavour is world class and obviously looking to be is the best in the Porsche repair panel manufacturing and supply biz.

Thanks for the plug Mark. It was good seeing you and thanks for the deal on the seat.

We are running out of room fast, it seems as if we have to reorganize every 3 months.

I think everyone had a pretty good time. At least I hope they did. It was a pretty good turn out.

That is my little girl, Marion. Shes quite a handful, and yes, everyday she is saying something new. Growing so fast!

Dammit. First I've heard of this.

Maybe more warning next time?

Didn't make the open house, but happened to be in Ontario on business last week and had to swing by. Many thanks to Peter for taking time out of his day to give me a tour and for some car talk. I have to say that we are blessed to have a company like RD and people like Peter feeding into our interest in these old cars. My professional life is in metal stamping / welding for the automotive industry, so I understand the substantial amount of capital and behind the scenes work it takes for this type of tooling and equipment. Thanks again Peter, for the tour and everything RD does for us!
