Why Cut Off a Porsche 911 ROOF?

[@danlc95]

Frank is a true craftsman!! Wow!!

[@stevejanka361]

Excellent metal repair. This guy has seen it all. He knows how to make parts work that were never intended to be on the same car. You are lucky to find someone like him. Thanks for a great video.

[@Nick210]

Gotta love an old school metal worker

[@Botshapa]

I’m in this trade and hearing you talk about it like it’s really fascinating makes me happy. A lot of people look at the finished product, being shiny paint, it’s good to see appreciation on the work it takes to get it to that stage. Great video

[@deandretate7392]

i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I love any help you can give me

[@joziahkamdyn2229]

@Deandre Tate instablaster =)

[@andysgaragetherapy]

How did this 12~ min video seem to pass by in 2-3 minutes? Absolutely fascinating stuff. Thank you Larry for allowing us to come along on this restoration journey. Unbelievably interesting.

[@Neur0bit]

Stunning. What an absolute work of art. Glad to see craftsmen are still around, taking pride in their trade and hopefully passing along skills to new generations.

[@largol33t1]

9:10 - Larry, for Frank to be able to match the original shape with a mere panel hammer is insane. I have no words to describe such skills. The only guy I know who could do this works at a repair shop in Oklahoma. My dad went to him for ANYTHING: bent doors, dents in the hood. The guy could work miracles with any car even something like a 1990 Jeep Cherokee. He had AMAZING eyes. We once took my Jeep to him for an inspection. It was 8:45 at night and a light drizzle was constantly annoying me. We stepped out of the car and the first words out of his mouth: "Um, you here because of the dent on the fender?" My dad was shocked. We were visiting because of a dent on the OTHER side of the car. I had to borrow a Maglite and shine it directly on the fender. Yep, there was a small dent there but I had to stand and look at it with my face pressed against the side of the door panel to see it! And he saw it without the flashlight! The guy was probably from another planet! I think he's retired by now.

[@sean6506]

This is one of the best KZbin channels out there. Larry and Make Rain Prod. create some of the most entertaining and thorough videos on this site. If engine building was part of this channel, it'd be damn near perfect.

[@wthutch7882]

This project is so amazing to watch unfold!

[@SuperSport01]

You certainly chose the best shop and craftsmen for the work on your Porsche. These guys are on the next level of greatness.

[@Slamdoxicalz]

respect for Frank

[@Dmocification]

It's hard to find a car channel that's Fun, but also Professional. Great job! Maybe the next detailing video should be on cleaning the headliner of the car. kind of goes with this video haha

[@S123-d6t]

Dmocification Mightycarmods

[@M.asa.]

Dmocification czeromedia he is not professional but he knows what's hes doing

[@matthewkaai]

Dmocification Salt city euros, Not really professional but they know what their doin

[@nath_tayl0rr]

I know you probably considered it but whilst you had the roof off I'd had a rollcage fabricated and tied into the a/ b/ c pillars and welded to the floor for rigidity

[@BourbonInhibitions]

It's rare you come across videos on KZbin that you wish were longer. This one I didn't want to end. You don't get this level of a behind-the-scenes look at this kind of work anywhere, and on a classic Porsche no less. Brilliant work Larry thank you for bringing us all along.

[@SteffsGarage]

This is beautiful to watch. A clean work environment, hard working individuals, passion, and care for the customer. It wouldn't bother to be sanding on a car if I worked with these guys.

[@supersquid166]

larry, you are (for me) the This Old House for cars. Your penchant for craftsmanship and taste, coupled with your ability to explain things makes your videos a joy to watch. I hope to have a 964 soon. Would love to get it over to you for a detailing.

[@964Luftballoon]

Amazing craftsmanship!! I hope his apprentices take very good notes and learn everything this man knows so his skill can be carried on.

[@adamfreeman1219]

wow! I shudder to think the amount of money all this phenomenal skill is costing you Larry. Credit to you and these guys with their amazing work.

[@DavidJackson-zg5my]

I was happy to see this video. My ‘74 had rust issues and needed replacement. Me being me, I have to do this myself lol. Now this happened about 10 years ago, but I used the same exact method used here. The tool I created looked almost identical to the one he made to be able unroll the top of the drip rail from the roof panel. It sure felt good to see a professional doing it the same way I did!

[@shadyjosh5]

David I need to do the same job - how did you make the tool needed to uncrimp the rain guard? Any chance you'd sell it, I'm in the UK

[@digitalbaka7722]

Incredible craftsmanship! It is truly awe-inspiring to watch someone who has worked nearly their entire life with their hands. All these car restoration TV shows try to cram a multi-month build into 30 or 60 minutes. While I'm sure some of those folks have skills that approach this level you almost never get to see it. Thank you for sharing this process!

[@JonnyD3ath]

All I can say is WOW WOW WOW, this series is amazing! Your passion combined with these guys master craftmanship is just bliss to watch, need more!

[@minireza]

Can't wait for the next installment Larry - this series puts the major tv networks to shame. We really appreciate all the effort that goes into making these videos

[@TonyHyppolite]

This has to be one of the more exciting series on KZbin that I have watched in a long time. Great work Larry.... oh and yea... Frank is not human!!!! Wow.

[@danielcox2809]

Can't believe how easy your videos are to watch! could sit here for hours watching them! Well, I've sort of done that already, lol. keep up the good work!

[@208miuwu]

That is incredible and a unbelievable amount of hours for prep and execution. Frank is a dying talent in today's world he has a gift to restore what man and mother nature destroys. I`m sure you have spent a good amount of money for your passion much as people do for GUNS, DOLLS, PAINTINGS EXT. Enjoy your car sir and beat the brakes off it you deserve it.

[@tfr6]

His talent isn't dying at all. you have no idea what your talking about. In a age where it pays a lot of money for this kind of work theres plenty of people with his level of skill. The car community is bigger now than ever.

[@TommyTombstone]

Can confirm the gun community loves this stuff. Gun guys, watch guys, and car guys all have the same love of learning how things work, why they work, and how to fix them, and spending exorbitant amounts of money to make things they love look and run perfect.

[@CarAndMechanical]

This is one of the best video's I've seen showing major panel replacement on a car - inspiring stuff.

[@matthewhenley783]

These men are craftsmen and artists. It is a joy to see their quality work!

[@BusyDadsWorkshop]

Larry, thanks for sharing this process! I am really enjoying these particular videos. It shows true craftsman at work. They are a dying breed.

[@tpausma1981]

Amazing video with talented people, and of course your good humor n attention to detail. Most enjoyable video I've watched in awhile, thanks!

[@MasterDetailPortugal]

Really a Master-piece work. Great to see a real Craftsman at work.

[@StevieDeez]

This is insane! The amount of work and attention to detail that goes into this stuff is just mind boggling

[@flat4-]

Just watched both video's, Mr Frank is a truly craftsmen, my hat off to his work and perfection !

[@chuckculotta8362]

Watching the craftsmanship, tools, and application is pretty amazing

[@torks2339]

OK Larry. You gotta start uploading more of this! You can't keep us in suspense for weeks!!!!! Next episode PLEASE!!!!!!!

[@TheBigBazzy]

No schooling or course could teach you that level of craftsmanship. Only dedication and experience can get a person to that degree of expertise.

[@Kraals]

I owned a 1990, Porsche 964. While I spent most of my time under the car I had no idea the body was so complex. I shouldn't be overly surprised, the German approach to engineering is amazing. WOW!

[@nobustrive1405]

it's blackbird legendary in Japanese comic wangan midnight.. nice 964 original condition!! 👍

[@ScottPC]

People saying he could of spend all this money on a better car, That's not the point! He loves that car and when you love somthing you'll do anything to keep it going!

[@AMMO-NYC]

ThatGuyNamedScott. C u get it

[@DanielA-cw6lc]

Yo Larry whens the new update coming in?? Cant wait

[@ChuckUnderFire]

I'm digging this series!

[@dekebell3307]

May be my favorite video you've made. Thanks for showing Frank the respect he's due, real craftsmen are rare!

[@chh7681]

please make the next few videos regarding paint LONGER

[@joshuayork4693]

What a treat! One of your best yet Larry! Thank you!! Guys amazing.

[@bear7826]

A lot of details must have been done before this took place. Lucky man. That guy in the video is the man

[@sshayka3139]

Wow, just amazing. I wish the vid was double the length.

[@Dorout]

KZbin channels should seriously consider making a long version and short one because there is a demand for more details

[@JJpoint34]

Congratulations on surpassing 400,000 subscribers! Onward to a million.

[@vampirekiller16]

this is the craziest thing i have ever seen. any other car i would be like bro let it go. but this level of commitment, the passion, the love, the years of knowledge being baked into the car. ppl blow 100k at vegas or on golf trips and memberships. he's going to enjoy this everyday and the best part is that larry is crazy af and he's gonna track the hell out of this thing. raw and sick. everyone has a car sitting in the backyard that they wish they could do this to. but instead we all just get new dds. how easy would it have been for him to go out and buy a new 911. he could have got a pretty nice one too for what he's spending here. but who goes thru this instead and gives a car another 30 years? hard years at that? larry good job man.

[@obiverse]

I didn't notice the video ended untill it really ended, great content, really appreciate your efforts

[@lucaswolgast1520]

Loved this video. In my opinion everything was explained quite well. I work as a body shop mechanic at Volkswagen and we use like 99% of the same equipment, which was kinda funny

[@GrindhousePerformance]

Absolutely mind boggling to watch. Loved every second.

[@NvTwist]

Much respect for Franks work, I had no idea 💡 jeez

[@jetstreampropulsor]

Well done! This is like an automotive renaissance. The craft must live on....

[@pryderacing8056]

Dope. Glad you got to the point in the beginning. Quality work as always

[@TheEscape2012]

Finding a shop on this level would be very hard even in Germany. They even use Würth products. I did not expect to even find German weld-trough-primer in NY. They really know what they are doing its a pleasure to watch!

[@spacepodstudio]

Can't wait to see the prep and paint. great job as always.

[@tjones5626]

This vid is new to me.so just wanted to say this video/content is great..Keeping the car you love and knowing everything about it inside out is a great feeling.watching these vids makes me want to create just like these artist's..salute'

[@jesseparris6507]

Big job. When I had my AB shop I replaced the collapsed roof on a Honda Accord sedan. Insurance wrote it off but the owner wanted it repaired. Lots of details, and to add insult to injury, it was that Honda "champagne" color, very hard to match. I still have the photos of the repair somewhere. I feel your pain.

[@ChewyToeNails]

@8:55 the references to both bands (A Perfect Circle) and (Tool) in one swipe? Clever analogy!

[@user-ln8rr3dl1p]

Such craftsmanship is amazing

[@ShakaLakaMTB]

This is absolutely incredible. These guys are so skilled!

[@davidpoto9856]

in grade school i once drew a perfect light bulb by hand. never could duplicate it ever. love watching artisans

[@marquisbois990]

Really enjoyed watching that. Roll on #3

[@TheEpyonz]

Incredible! You're very lucky to have this craftsman work on your restoration!

[@Wirenfeldt1990]

This fab work and craftsmanship level is approaching wizardry

[@TurddyChoppa]

This man it's a true artist!

[@Edgar_89]

My complete respect to that 964 and that man, is a true craftsman working with high quality, i really enjoy this video 🥇

[@KantstandlamGarage]

Amazing work and video again. Look forward to the next video Larry.

[@bullet1gts]

Frank is a Legend! Amazing work.

[@paulavory1837]

Wow fascinating film. The attention to detail and craftmanship is superb. You can't rush years of experience, it has to be earned to gain the 'eye'. Can't wait for the bodywork. Hours of wet sanding later... People need to forget about cost. Its not cheap, the end. If its your passion and pride and joy, it will be well worth it in years to come. Just like roadtrips spent with your car, it helps to strengthen the bond and love. Still regret selling my Lotus that i rebuilt.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Those guys are artists, pretty amazing! I can only imagine how many years of trial and error it took to become that good!

[@Quawnn]

by far your most interesting video to date. Great job man.

[@bondy284]

Larry does it again. 👍 Great attention to detail.

[@fdu5454]

Larry I love this documentary on your 911! Thank you and keep the episodes coming.

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

Good work right there!

[@zclee]

Holy crap. Mad props to you, Larry.

[@EricLightbody]

That was absolutely fascinating and inspiring. Thank you for spending the time to share!

[@fantasticone66]

amazing work

[@Magnacier]

This is truly fascinating and a real form of art, excellent video!

[@Beneluxsupercars]

i love that oldschool metal work ! its just like making art ! great job and a great video !

[@iloverx7fc]

It is very interesting to see a roof replacement video. I recently had to fix a huge dent on my car roof at a body shop. Luckily the dent was repairable or else they said it would've taken 17 hours of labors to replace the roof...

[@finnnation]

Great Vid mate! Love watching true craftsmen at work.

[@dvlop0018]

Had to watch it again. Priceless video.

[@stephensfriends]

I would watch all the raw footage of this project if I could. This is truly fascinating, masterful work

[@kvcsoliver]

This man is amazing! I was wondering whether it would have been a good idea to build a hidden rollcage. When the roof is off, it's probably easier to fabricate one.

[@spyrothedragon3431]

Shame this video isn't about 4 hours longer!! Amazing video, looking forward to the next one!

[@muhammadhamizan9895]

Even if your video is long i can watch it all day.... Very informative

[@crashdrumschool1]

Amazing! What a journey. It's fantastic you are fortunate and able to do this, these cars will one day soon become untouchable, as they become rarer, along with the skills to repair in this way. A hyper classic!! I doff my hat sir.

[@lucasgusi]

Geez. Thanks for doing this restoration the right way and sharing with us. Maybe my Maverick will be restored someday.Congrats on the video and the project!

[@powershiftautomotive9120]

Amazing build. Been following for a long time. Keep it up Larry!

[@podium804]

Thank you so much for documenting this Larry.

[@kermittfrog480]

Damn, you definitely found the right shop to have this done!

[@Misterfairweather]

Sometimes you get a car that you like and it isn't really about what it's worth. Really cool seeing how all of this is done. I might also have been scared off from 964s...

[@NicholasG28]

Frank is the man

[@j232613j]

Amazing thank you thank you. Can't wait for the paint videos

[@teamsleepnine]

that roof job is nuts!!!!!!

[@luisjonassk8]

Really respect for this kind of work!

[@biro24]

Absolutely love this series 👏👏👏😎 the master work involved is brilliant to watch, I look forward to many many more updates 👍

[@enlightendbel]

Best description of a Porsche ever "better more expensive tin can".

[@icebreakertech]

Amazing series, always great to learn something new :)

[@witchcraftauto]

This is utterly amazing.

[@MechRider89]

panel fabrication and body work in general is no joke, very handy to know.

[@WickedMachineWorks]

Good video man!
