Congratulations Josh! I'm a Porsche gal who enjoys following your yalls channel even though I know NGSC first love is Ferrari. I love your 356 "replica". Just bought a 1965 356 Coupe myself and absolutely can't wipe the smile off my face when I drive it. Enjoy!

My brother mechanically restored one for a customer 2 years ago and got it done before the owner died. He got to drive before he passed.

​@@normalguysupercarLooks like his grandfather's is a '58 normal cab in Ivory with the red interior and the optional headrest. Pretty car! He is going to love the replica. I worked on a 550 replica and it was a lot of fun! So nice not having to worry about it at the level of an original. It can be an A2B car. Congrats! I hope all is well :) F

Oh nice!

Bought an original 356A USA import to the UK when I was 24 - Guy had imported it, passed away and I bought it off his son.. No floor, seized engine, rough paint.. Fully restored it myself! Did a few resto-mods - lowered suspension fat tyres on original rims on the back and skinny Citroen 2CV tyres on the front, no bumpers! Sold it a couple of years later for $18k equivalent!.. Really wished I'd kept it!

Very cool car. I grew up on a farm. We always had a VW bug as the second car. It was great for running around the fields instead of riding a horse. So I drove one from age 7 until I graduated high school. They are a great way to learn to enjoy driving. It would be cool to put it up on a lift and show us how the replica is built. Is it a fiber glass tub or a tube chassis with fiber glass body bolted on. Old VW suspension?
