Removed hardtop for summer and improved storage system, now just drive vehicle in garage, unlatch top, run straps under stop, and lift. One person can easily do entire process.
Last year had installed winch and pulley to lift top snugly up to rafters. This year got new straps and ran them front to rear instead of side to side, this keeps weight off painted surfaces, provides better balance, and allows removal and installation of top by one person. Also this year built wood cross beam to keep straps spread the correct distance from each other, and transfer the load to the winch hook.
I'm the most blessed man on the planet.
First drive of spring with top down.
The battleship is too big I can't fit it all in the picture.
Rough patch...Looks like you are turning your life around and hope you continue to get the help/support you need here.
What happened to the fender scratch by the fuel filler?
Garage door trolley thing broke and the arm fell onto the side of the Cayenne. It's been a TODO item to address for like 6 months but it's my wife's car and it's constantly dirty so wasn't a high priority. When she was out of town the other week I did a paint correction on it, which became immediately clear I should have paid someone. The hood alone took me as long as it'd take to do my entire 911.
Griot's synthetic clay bar for the DA was a lifesaver though. Worked really well and only took half an hour or so for the land yacht.

To answer you and cwbrown, I had it done at Fine Lines Wrap & Tint. Any wrap company should be able to do it in about 30 minutes. Cost was $50. I couldn't stand the blue/green tint imbedded in the top of the windshield.
Satin black vinyl banner with gloss black letters.
This last weekend I hung something my wife ordered for my home office.
Cool wooden Porsche crest from Etsy to accompany my carbon fiber/wood Nürburgring track she also bought for me a few years ago.
It's huge!
28" (715mm) tall.

Beautiful family, and car! What's the name of the battleship?
Thanks for the compliment, and it's the battleship Iowa in San Pedro CA. Looks like it is still closed to the public so we were able to pull up right next to it. When I was in the Navy the Iowa was in Norfolk Virginia, and I was assigned to go on it and pick up some radar equipment. It was a hell of a warship all kinds of guns and missiles and thick armor.

Very nice! I just bought a CNC machine and may try to make one of those, but a bit smaller. My machine can handle about 15" by 15", more if you do it in stages. Here's my first few attempts with acrylic.

That looks great!
