Thank you for having me on!

[@obrucheakise7946]

I love your work. Inspiring

[@renelord4819]

MR Hafner, your passion is an inspiration.. you have a talent to create a work of art…Félicitations du Québec, Canada

[@DavidSmith-ey7hp]

You have a good eye. Beautiful work.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Incredible job buddy, really You've created a piece of art and one of the best looking vehicles I've ever seen

[@igordewit7357]

Oldskool SuperK😁😁L.. ...always!!

[@OnTheRailTV]

This is the definition of a clean look for a classic Porsche. Very simple and classy.

[@ogribiker8535]

The front yes, the back no!. Those lights just look cheap nastie after thoughts.

[@hagestad]

@@ogribiker8535 Aren't those factory items? People don't realize that most of Porsche design was terrible for very long time. The ones that weren't terrible were pretty much stolen from Tatra

[@ajhl9898]

My favourite episode. You can tell that Magnus is extremely impressed.... beautiful car.

[@chrisagnew2923]

Gorgeous car, but what really makes this video is watching two OCD Porsche guys discuss it. Knowing how much skilled work went into it makes it more beautiful.

[@dotpeat1372]

Top-notch! What a guy, skilled, passionate, golden thinking and hands. As an old man, I am pleased to see that there is a generation picking up the romance of petrol head-ness. Thank you for sharing!

[@rizwanrafeek7139]

The first time I ever saw Magnus smiling in a video. It seems like their chemistry syncs well. Such a great build, piece of ART!

[@georgewcamp]

Special Episode Magnus. I am sure this young man has a VERY bright future.

[@Pags222]

This car is everything. What a beautiful vision and an equally stunning execution. ❤

[@jimmypratt6450]

Brilliant work by a young man , there is hope out there for the trade and bringing craftmanship back . 👍👍👍

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

Now that is a man with talent. I hope that local youths get to take in this piece of art and are inspired to put down their phones and get dirty using their hands to make something from nothing.

[@CurtiMado]

Remarkable build. Rod clearly is good at bringing together talented folks as much as he is good at putting together Porches. Love to hear people talk about “family” where they work.

[@Mrjonblakely]

Excellent questions from Magnus to bring out the details of the build. Of course his expertise could see the areas of interest. Great build and informative discussion to make a great episode.

[@photonfab]

Follow this young man, he is headed to amazing things. One of top porsche builds ever.

[@alexdrinks2much]

Absolutely stunning! And that 4 pot sounds AMAZING!!

[@MX304]

WOW! That is a masterpiece for sure.

[@MegaRetr]

This car is everything.

[@chadbailey7038]

Love love love how much Magnus is picking this young guy’s brain. You can tell Magnus is geeked on the build and wants all the inside tea 🍵 😅! Game recognize game 👏🏾

[@ShahSelbe]

The amount of work he put into that car is awe inspiring. what an incredibly special build.

[@carloborromeo5595]

Beautiful design 👌

[@tylerannjohnson]

One of my favorite episodes yet with one of my favorite Porsches. Such a creative undertaking and what a beautiful final result.

[@paulmcdonald9592]

Does my heart warm to see a young fellow so talented and passionate about his craft and devotion. Rod, you are lucky to have him and vice versa. Thank you Magnus for sharing.

[@graemelangford1974]

What an incredible build. Drew has done a fabulous job and created such a unique and beautiful 912. Thank you for sharing this Magnus. Well done Drew :)

[@Holdthegreen]

What it took to make this car look as “simple” as it does required an unbelievable amount of complicated craftsmanship. Beautiful car. I’ve seen an Emory 356 coupe in person. Top quality work all around.

[@henrycarraro5428]

Spectacular in every respect. Love the blended rocker to fender work, the drip rail delete, the front bumper to body mounting and oh the mounting of the beehives. Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship and eye for detail. Good going Drew.

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

Superb episode in every sense. Brilliantly filmed and wow what a wonderful achievement.

[@mattpowe]

Best video involving MW since Urban Outlaw. Great story. Can't get enough of long hood hotrods. Don't mind that Pegasus t-shirt either.

[@avmelidor]

Magnus definitely enjoyed this one. 🎉

[@flyoverstateresident2890]

Magnus did a wonderful job of getting this young man to tell a wonderful and interesting story.

[@MindDezign]

I'm glad and very happy, Magnus,stopped going off the beaten path and came back to where he will always thrive in the Automotive world. Vintage/ Classic Porsche. You think you have done and seen everything done with these cars. And suddenly as you turn and come back around, there is Freshness on a very old by now, formula. This is a restomod Porsche video, epically " EDITED" . Complete and thorough ,interview, and a newly discovered talent. I've seen him and this car on another channel. But Magnus doing the shake down of all the mods, the well done epic Edit, and the new talent. Most enjoyable video. Right up there with the 917 vid.....congratulations opp team!

[@owenoconnor2700]

Beautiful work, thanks for asking all the great questions, probing and letting Drew show us his genius

[@alpeena]

Been aware of this build for a while now...thnx 4 the share here.......this young man will soon be very well known......what he did here was waaaaay beyond. His dad , his childhood, his working at Rods...its a perfect storm...... in this current world of 500 and 600k restomods, 1 mil singers....2 mil gunthers....this car is easily a 200k build right now.............folks would line up to buy it......I wonder how long he stays at Rods...sooooo amazing....all his choices....wow

[@stephencoupland4764]

Seen this car before - it is complete perfection in my eyes

[@danb.4571]

Of all the OPP offerings (and I’ve drooled over many) I’m surprised that this is my favorite. Under 200hp, and the most thoughtful and beautifully structured build I’ve seen, maybe ever. I don’t believe that this young man could have executed the construction of this car any better in any way. Absolutely stunning. Outstanding car, @drewhafner !

[@jongib6096]

So simple but so much detail / No goofy stickers, wheels & vents

[@kevmagill5163]

This car is a true work of passion and art....no exaggeration. It's beautiful from every angle, and it's beauty is more than skin deep. Great video.

[@naturalsr405]

Such a cool and detailed build. Also love that shop setup with pretty bare walls and huge photos. Perfection

[@christophernoto]

A great job of interviewing, Magnus, as well as your reflections around the drive and the closing. Well done, sir!

[@troyallen5806]

My kind of Porsche. Excellent work man.

[@jonathankenny4443]

Craftsman. So good to see a young generation with exceptional skills. What a classic he has built .. top class work

[@samsham8218]

Gosh.. THAT is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! WOW..

[@berponteberponte3231]

Thanks for the show! The Kid has a bright future!!

[@peterslater7791]

what a fascinating story... not only the car, but drew's journey to california and the emory family. i love it. great job drew, great job magnus. i love car stories that have the person's journey intertwined... because the car would not exist without that person and that journey.

[@gregzoller9003]

This car is really special! I love 356s yet realize a 912 may be the only old Porsche I’ll ever have a hope of affording. Maybe one day I can adapt one or two ideas from this piece of rolling art.

[@jimlong527]

You shared and built the dream car we all love. At the end of the day it’s a Porsche.

[@troyroberts79]

Of all the amazing cars that have been featured on OPP, this ‘68 might be one of my faves.. SUCH a great build! Super clean..!

[@rocketman0515]

The best OPP show yet! @drewhafner your work and vision on this car is exceptional. Well done sir!

[@jeremy7818]

Best OPP to date IMHO

[@drezdax]

Машина просто класс!!! У парня золотые руки!

[@timothyhill4630]

A real Porsche, no cup holders. Great build. Congrats!

[@wildwilliesadventures]

One of the most interesting stories.

[@andrewperez3849]

When he said “driving to church with my wife” I knew his parents did a great job and this kid deserves whatever he got. I’m sorry call me whatever you want but this shows he is humble and knows why he was given this opportunity to be so fortunate. Not saying he doesn’t have flaws. Sounds like he’s got a great head on his shoulders.

[@JonathanAdams-z8r]

Magnus…this is one of my favorite of your OPP vids! Love the car Drew has built and your presentation and questions about the build and his background were spot on and engaging. Loved that you geeked out on the build and asked about design cues and details that we the viewers can’t really see. This is one of my favorite restomods and I’ve seen an other vid about it, however it didn’t have the detail that you brought out. Because you queried Drew about the wheels/tires, I went on the Group4 website and actually ordered a set similar to Drew’s (16x6 and 7’s, silver w/“diamond cut” rims) for my build. I’m doing a Subie powered restomod of a ‘72 VW SB w/a vintage 911/356 theme, hence the retro 911 wheels. J.

[@joshuaturner6882]

Best video you've made in a while. Thanks!

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

I’m building my first 911 hot rod. I’m enjoying the passion of the design. Thanks for sharing this amazing young man and his beautiful Porsche. -Spanky

[@buckybacker]

So many amazing cars have been on OPP. This might be the best!

[@where-we-roam]

Such a beautiful car. Never would have thought Woody Harrelson was that skilled with his hands.😉 Seriously though, truly amazing build. Hats off to Drew.

[@GivenMoila]

this has to be one of my favourite episodes. Love the details and the amount of work done. Amazing.

[@pamdunn8454]

i see hope for the future of young metal artist - hats off drew

[@anthonyfunderburk7871]

Awesome video 📹 skills on a different level 💯😎😎😎

[@MegaHomie4life]

This is absolutely amazing. This is why we watch the OPP!

[@jeffsloane8628]

Wow! What a build. Thank you Magnus for asking the questions to help us understand all the detailed work that went into making this build special, through and understated.

[@aircooled.obsession]

I've thoroughly enjoyed every episode of OPP, but this was next level, truly infectious. Having the opportunity to share in Magnus & Drew geeking out on the minutiae of every detail was a privilege. Thanks Guys & well done Drew what a fantastic car!

[@bobnevala5218]

I'm not saying this car needs to be driven everyday, but 3 times a week when possible until the day that you die. GREAT WORK!!!

[@shadopadla3671]

Stunning workmanship

[@DougSlmon]

❤😮😊 that’s a very sweet 68 Porsche I like it keep up the good work with the other Porsches you do a Mangus can you do a wonderful job keep it up bro peace. Have a good week.

[@stevespacek8893]

Absolutely stunning!! And revs out to 10rpm!! This is one of the best looking Porsches I've ever seen. The colour and how clean it looks. Not forgetting the stance, which to my eye is spot on. I was watching Chris Harris hooning around with Richard Tuthill in that amazing Tuthill 911 with the 12rpm redline! I thought that was my dream Porker! Now though not so sure.. Maybe a combo of the two- somehow! Probably sacrilege but who cares when there is so much love, care and emotion put into these machines. The purists can keep their thoroughbreds and give me this stuff every time. Thanx for the share fellas!!

[@kp2855]

Good job bro an awesome build for a classic Porsche. Magnus Walker brought out all the details in the video. Really nice paint and rear deck lid with a clean design inside and out. Just one critique I'm sure you'll fix later. The front trunk lid gap is a little uneven on the passenger side, couldn't help but noticed. Anyway it's an amazing car build bro, congrats 😊👍🏼

[@jahseantenn4574]

Awesome video Magnus. Great interview, you asked all the questions we didn’t know we wanted to ask. Amazing build, all those special touches, which you kindly pointed, were impressive. I was just in awe. Truly unique. The 356 touches were so beautifully adapted to 911. Truly special. Rod must be so proud of his son in law.

[@RolanTHUNDER]

His work is impressive.

[@salvissmudo4496]

Cool car and crazy amount of hours invested in to this build and the result is outstanding. Never thought that those engines after modifications can rev up to 10k rpm! However, front hood needs slight adjustment :)

[@donkeyshot8472]

yep, I noticed that, too. however, I have doubts about hood adjustment being possible; it almost looks like this is the best that could be done.

[@perjanuschas8050]

@@donkeyshot8472I doubt that from how he has fixed everything else. If you can custom make the entire rear end, remove the raingutters, you can get the alignement perfect too. My guess is that he had a mishap, and hasn't had the time to repair it. These guys are anal retentive, and Rod wouldn't let that pass...

[@stevenparker6415]

Best one yet!

[@Wizards_Sleeve]

Fantastic stuff, so nice to see a young guy with such brilliant metalworking skills, you should be very proud of yourself young man 😎👍🏻 And your attention to detail is awesome too 👍🏻

[@whogivesacrap84]

Love this car

[@johnmatthews1095]

absolutely superb. I love my 912 built by Andy Prill in the UK. I owned a 1972 2.4S Oelkappe before that but love the delicacy, the balance, handling and steering feel of a sorted 912

[@campervanbug7658]

Beautifully done custom

[@tomcarlton854]

Thank you! Lovely videos....😊

[@Bigmikenorthern]

What a great video and awesome build. Passion, family and cars. Pure!

[@3r4nd0]

Beautiful Car, there is nothing like a classic car that runs well and there is nothing like a Porsche, apart from the bonnet being a little bit wonky it is perfect, I want that car and I want it now!!!!!

[@draincctv8659]

One of Magnus's best interviews. The workmanship is just out of this world & Drew appears to be a truly fantastic guy.

[@jonathansage8082]

Goes without saying, awesome build, humbled to have played a small part.

[@mccc4498]

Wow,,, The Kid Has Skills….love listening to two well educated men discuss their passion. Thanks for taking us along for the ride…

[@AutoAndChill]

Father and son, re-united at last! xD

[@Facts-on-wheels]

Absolutely stunning work and final result..every detail is so full of Love and sweat...good job Boy!!!

[@billirby2541]

Great channel, production values, intelligent thought, host, builder and car.

[@shaunelliott5408]

Piece of art.

[@gregzoller9003]

It's like critiquing the Mona Lisa, since this is such outstanding workmanship... The design is so perfect this one (IMO) shortcoming stands out: the dash. Clearly inspired, as he said, by the Sportster, it seems unfinished and bare. The 356 Speedster had a rounded gauge cluster and more importantly a padded dash cap. Those little details would have really tied the interior fully into the amazing vision he had to integrate 356 and 912.

[@garyseaton4619]

Magnus, you've found a jewel in the automotive world. This young man is amazing. Thank you...

[@nige_breaks_bikes9782]

Stunningly beautiful and such superb skill in the build … if I win the lottery this would be the build I’d love but with wipers for the UK … great film Magnus , and an ace fabricator ❤

[@Boterberg]

Genious. What a tracktoy. Now imagine seeing this car in 30 years, with the character it deserves. Driven, hard.

[@johnnyboy1586]

Your interviewing skills have grown so muchs magnus 😊 asking all the right questions and bringing out the best answers from this young artisan! Amazing car too!!

[@totoiza17581]

Amazing car . AND even amazing job . Even from far seeing it's all love . AND determination of a Man love it

[@J0nnyFavourite]

this 68-912 porsche is absulut amazing!

[@DirtDawg]

Hell of a machine and passion. Great episode!

[@depfknr9211]

Love old cooled VW what a Work of art, hope one day have the time to rebuild one and enjoy it. Nice work 🤌🏼

[@KevinFlory993]

What a great episode. Defiantly my favorite thus far.

[@blaw11b]

This car is proof that it's not about how fast you go, but what you're going fast in.

[@garyseaton4619]

This is a young man with some serious skills. He's going to be a star in the future... This is a fabulous car...

[@thomasforinger3488]

Passion .. Still... what an Inspiration for all the E- " Sport" , all day long mobile device Kids.... go on... would love to having someone like him for my SWB 912 1968 , at least 120 HP too 🎉

[@georgehintenbergerpa4363]

Simple but beautiful, looks so good in that silver 🤩

[@dean5565]

Wow. so young to be able to tastefully refresh the look of this old 912. My favourite detail has to be those rocker panels integrated with the underbody. Pure class. Inspiring.
