It is truly appreciated by so many.

Hey Sharks !
I finally got around to zipping these 37 images down and they came out as follows:
The 72 dpi images zip down to 3.2MB
The 300 dpi zips down to 644 MB
The 600 dpi zips down to 674 MB
Get after me again if you haven't heard from me yet about a set. I can send out the 72dpi easily via email, but obviously the others are a bit much and will have to go via Pony Express. Make sure I know your addresses and the size(s) you would like.
The 72dpi scans are dimensionally 12 inches wide.
The 300dpi scans are also 12 inches wide.
The 600dpi scans are 12 inches as well.
(It gives you some cropping as the scans have some of the frames on them.)
If you're domestic (USA) help off set my expenses by remitting $5 including postage. If overseas we'll work out the actual costs.

Lastly, the factory today. Werk I, in brick, much as it appeared in the 1950s. The overhead carries completed steel bodies from the welding shop to the paint area within Werk II and then on to assembly.

Can probably sell quite a few.

928's. Great to work on when it's in pieces on the workbench before the pieces parts reach the assembly line. Or do they make sure the fasteners are facing firewalls and fenders and inaccessible after assembly.

How true.
Great stuff
Best factory pictures I have ever seen and answers so many questions. We all owe you.

If you're a member of the Porsche Club of America check out my article on European Deliver in the February 2008 issue of Porsche Panorama. The factory tour I make reference to in the article is the 928 line.

Dan,
Great write up in PANO. Have you thought about submiting your photo's to Excellence magazine along with a write up of your trip? A few months back they did a article of someones personal shots of the IROC 911's. Your shots are great, I am drooling over the parts bins. Thank you!
