Heck, I get snide comments for my rather modest modifications from folks who tell me how dare I modify something as perfect as a OEM 911. Oh well.
All the parts for the build get shipped to the site. He then flys out and spends a day or whatever working and smoking while lots of people watch and film. He'll then do a ride along with the owner. It's performance art the ends with an art car. That's my understanding of how it works.

Not fundamentally different than a singer and he's been doing it longer. I think he's stagnant and not evolving in his art but I'm not close enough to know for sure.

Any owner is free to do what they want with their car.

RWB’s are great cars! A guy here locally with 2 GT2 RS’s and a Turbo S and several exotics has an RWB and it’s insane.

Gunther Werks is probably my favorite of these restoration projects.

It's a shame there aren't more porsche restomod companies that don't charge small fortunes for a restore. I get parts can be hard to find and labor is expensive but surely it can be done for fractions of the cost of these companies. I mean if I can buy brand new state of the art cars today for way way less, why can't a restore be in-line with that given the cars are often much cheaper to start with? Would be great to see it done at larger scale to lower costs given so many people love the porsche brand and would buy NA cars over the newer turbo and over electronified cars.
