Member News.
Pete Peters Progress update
After almost three years, my ’67 1600 roadster
leaves the garage for body work and painting.
Color? Porsche Guards Red, of course. Mister
Firestone helped with attaching the towbar and
hooking up to his truck before heading off to An-
aheim. Mister Anderson graciously stepped in.
His expertise in maneuvering a tow, especially in
reverse, saved me from further embarrassment.
Next steps are some frame modifications, then
strip down for frame and other parts to go to
powder coater.
