This is still one of the most inspirational KZbin videos I’ve ever seen.

[@lukes5461]

I've been binge watching your Model T and FJ40 series over the last few days. And I know nothing about cars. This is some of the best content I've seen on KZbin. Thank you!

[@haydensansom9115]

Whenever I need project inspiration I always come back to this video. I’m amazed every time.

[@Jerod_Helt]

That’s awesome!

[@jamesenloe2791]

It’s like that scene from “Christine” when Arnie says, “show me.” Great job man!

[@mauricehess537]

One of the few sites I actually learn something,, nice work !

[@ianhardin1148]

That is truly incredible how you did this. I'm sitting here with my jaw dropped.

[@ultra4suzukisamurai679]

It’s so cool that you saved this car!

[@TRyan-op2jo]

Awesome! I love it when a guy who looks like he can’t work on cars actually can work on cars.

[@ATfabNfix64]

I finally put out a video on my Porsche after I had fixed the roof. I used a hand held English wheel. If you like to see it finished. The English wheel really helped smooth out the dents. My roof was bad but not as bad as yours. Thanks for your inspiring video

[@motorv8N]

Just amazing to see that roof coming back into shape - nice work! (Also reminds me just how flimsy these shells were for crash and rollover protection back in the day. Yikes!)

[@mikehollingsworth4118]

You have got to admire your "never say die" attitude! Awesome job Jared.

[@daalvares]

Awesome ! Best DIY ever seen !

[@sirazi11]

Excellent job, I really enjoyed the video.

[@mattwalsh1558]

Inspirational to the point I could get myself in trouble If i see a car like this to buy! Awesome job brother!!!!

[@Jerod_Helt]

Thanks Buddy!

[@krustrepair]

wow this gives me hope for my double cab. Thank you so much for posting. Huge help!

[@DrFrankensteam]

Dude....you are like the Michelangelo of car restoration. Cause what I just saw was art. Seriously!

[@waynemiracle8928]

You did just amazing work with that port a power! I’m simply amazed!

[@romandybala]

Arthur Tussik would be screaming at the screen. You should fly him in to do that job. He'd have it perfect in no time.

[@mementomori4972]

How you don't even have 40k subs is beyond me. Kids these days rather watch some id!ot mutilate a Mclaren, while tricking them into leaving comments and selling them cheap food replacement drinks, than watching someone literally bringing history back to life. This project is unique on the whole platform. Your down to earth approach is really appreciated after all this generic stuff that confirms so nicely to this palatable KZbin mould.

[@jarhead3121usmc]

Looks 100% better already. Awesome job!

[@silversurfer233]

You're doing a fantastic job already buddy!

[@juliocesarnobre3344]

I love 356 Porsche. Congrats for restoration.

[@vin9114]

Your doing a great job. I can't believe how much you've straightened it out already. The car is solid and worth all the work. Looking forward to more videos. 👍👍

[@Synchromesh123]

Extremely impressive stuff. And it warms my heart to see the old road warrior 356 raise back from the ashes! Keep it up!

[@oliverw3646]

Quite remarkable! That must have been incredibly satisfying.

[@milton.campos]

Wow! Great Job. Congrats.

[@dgadver]

Wow!!!! Amazing workmanship!!!!!!!

[@trimaranchuck]

Like hell, I LOVED it!!!

[@ssabet9]

Great video, really enjoyed it...keep it up man!

[@TD-pj8pq]

Great job as usual!!

[@stefanengstfeld8195]

Meinen Respekt, tolle Arbeit.

[@hevog]

Wow, that was a pretty impressive demonstration of how to staighten a roof so badly distorted. There is still some work to do, but as long as the windows and the doors will fit in again nicely and the diagonal measurements are in line, the rest is filling, leveling, sanding, painting and a new head liner. Looking good, did not think this would work out. Great job, thumbs up!

[@toddatstone_city_outlaw8714]

Wow, I am impressed so far.

[@riddledriddler3933]

really like your project, best of luck in the jobs ahead! cant wait for new updates :)

[@fractalrender]

I was just about to say that you need the screen and back window to se how to get back the shape, great tool and great work also check diagonal messurements so you know its aligned it healps!! Great video!!!

[@akihicoharaguci8317]

wow! great work.

[@xaraxen]

It’s like uncrumpling a piece of paper

[@ricardolopes3607]

Nice work.

[@vayabroder729]

Wow! Just wow! First you are up there with Mike Fn in the “cojones department” tackling all this all by yourself. Second; I’m amazed at how effective those jacks and tools you used are.

[@josefprem4535]

Very cool

[@marrocaindemarrakech9138]

bravo t es un pro

[@polloloci21]

Nice!!

[@billgraham5609]

Wow I would have never believed it. 👍🏻

[@phila3884]

Hey Jared, all that in 17 min and 29 sec? Haha That's amazing!

[@trimaranchuck]

The roof was begging for this!!!!!!

[@cybersurfer2010]

Not a bad idea to take this route... interested to see how this works out!

[@davidcousineau6605]

Wow! Never thought you could get that roof remotely back into shape but huge improvement. So about a 17 minute video but how long in real time? Great work Jerod!!

[@Jerod_Helt]

It was filmed over a few days, not sure how many hours 👍

[@jonathansmythe6273]

sweet

[@williamottersberg6684]

Incredible! You are truly talented. Where is Walter?!

[@jedschleisner8960]

Oh yeah! Like a good chiropractic adjustment, crack!

[@conceptalfa]

👍 👍 👍!!!

[@petrj7679]

This Porsche 356 is quite a wreck! How many silent episodes will he have to shoot before being in a moving state - Probably? Otherwise a lot of success with the repair!

[@nanuq1977]

Incredible work Jared ! Did you know it was going to come out as nice as it looks?

[@Jerod_Helt]

I was pretty sure the top would come ok, I’m still very concerned about how the finder will come out

[@ronpackwood8772]

👍👍✌️

[@jimh3362]

What is your training/expertise in doing this kind of work? Amazing stuff!! You are very talented and even more energetic.

[@Jerod_Helt]

No training, my background is in Architecture. I’ve just always liked taking things apart to see how they work. 👍

[@tomaskelly7272]

Amazing work .. I'm restoring a vw karmann ghia at the moment ( some similar DNA ) but yours is a different level of craftsmanship altogether .. what are those "jack's" called .. are they air driven ? You know how to eat an elephant .. one bite at a time !! Keep it up

[@Jerod_Helt]

Thanks buddy! It's called a Porto-Power. Its hydraulic👍

[@nathanratchford9996]

Wow. Awesome work. When you pry diagonally on the inside like that, does the floor get bent or dented?

[@Jerod_Helt]

No, I used wood blocks when possible 👍

[@marcelomaciel6756]

Very impressing! How many hours you spent so far in the roof? 👏

[@Jerod_Helt]

Not sure. I just do a little at a time. It will continue to get better👍

[@leslietardif4687]

Just bought a wreck 356 about a month ago and the roof is teak also but not as bad as yours . Its just a rusty wreak. How did you make the windows to fit correctly? Was it by eye or trying to fit the windows and adjusting as needed. I thinking on making jigs so I don’t need to hassle with the glass and rubber. I wish I knew how much bigger to make the jig to compensate the rubber . The cars windows are missing and I didn’t want to use new windows to mess with it taking the chance on breaking them or scratching them. Do you have a idea how much bigger to make it or do you think just buy the glass and rubber and deal with it

[@Jerod_Helt]

I used the glass and seals to figure out what needed to be tweaked. The windshield on my car still doesn’t fit perfectly but it seals

[@leslietardif4687]

@@Jerod_Helt I’ve been watching your videos over and over and I’m impressed that you had the gusts to try. I can’t afford a nice one so I bought a wreaked one with the right front fender tore off which tweaked the roof at the rear passenger side lifting it up. I think if I pull the front back in shape it will help the roof to go back in it’s original place. I’ve been trying to find used windows but it seems I will have to buy new. Do you know anyone locally that has windows. I’m in Diamond bar ca right by Pomona Thanks for your input

[@Jerod_Helt]

@@leslietardif4687 I found the used rear side glass on eBay and bought the new glass from sierra Madre

[@joeodonnell2594]

Is the 356 for sale

[@Jerod_Helt]

No sorry

[@joesixpack7551]

Wow, great work bringing her back to the general shape! You might reach out to some collision resources, like frame machine manufacturers, craftsman, etc. to see if a 'collision repair dimension diagram' is available for this car. Not sure if you are a member yet here but looks like there may be something in here? porsche356registry.org/ Guessing your next move is to fit the doors and make sure no A post twists, etc. The transformation is awesome so far, but ...FJFJFJ!!!

[@tonyparadiso8046]

what happened to this car

[@Jerod_Helt]

I wish I knew

[@N911GT2]

Although I admire your work, I wouldn't want to be in this car...

[@Jerod_Helt]

I've owned a few speedster replicas, I did not feel very safe driving them. I will feel slightly safer in this car, but it's definitely not good as new. Thanks for watching👍

[@N911GT2]

@@Jerod_Helt I understand! Keep it up! I do love your work so a sub from me!
