Paul,

Nice website and your work looks awesome. When I get mine so that it runs well (most of the time) I'll definitely be contacting you.

From the pictures, it looks like the quality of Paul's work is unbelievable, looking forward to having mine done.

Paul,

I born & raised in Kingsville, currently living in Houston.
Are you ever going to consider manufacturing stuff for a 996?

I am actually at this instant wearing full quill Peanut Brittle Ostrich boots that
look alot like the interior shots....very sweet!

Hey Cam,

I have the same pair of boots

I sure would like to do work on a 996. The problem is that I have no cores on hand for that model. You would need to either leave me the car or send me the parts.

I wish I not only had your talent, but the time and proper kind of shop in which to do it! Actually, I'd settle for about 1/2 of your talent! One day, I'll hopefully get to use your services. Truly awesome.

Default How long to do ...

If you got a car and a blank check to redo the entire interior, what is the estimated time table?

If everything goes well and the cores are in good shape, about one month.
The problem is that, in an effort to please everyone, I haven't been able to do just one project at a time. And since I am a perfectionist, and still learning, things take a bit longer.

But I think that's pretty good, all things considered. I heard that one well known firm, took 6 months to cover one steering wheel

Yowzer! Great stuff. I could dig a riser the raises the center console arm rest to make it level with the door arm rests as well as deepens it.

Also some revision to the door arm rest to padden it for my bony elbows.

Hey Gordon,

I am working on a riser for the center armrest right now. I'll post pictures once it's done.

The door armrest pad is something I did for my own car a while back:



I will make kits available in the standard Porsche colors.

Do you do custom cases?
Like a case to hold a set of Work Shop Manuals?
I've been trying to find a nice box to hold mine, but they're european sized notebooks, so hard to find here in the US.

Sure, can you give me some dimensions?
