I would like to introduce my 57 356A. I was lucky enough to buy this car from Don Connor who owned it for over 20 years. He kept is safe and dry in his garage the entire time. Prior to that it lived in a barn in GA for 10 years. I am very lucky that it is almost rust free. I am not claiming there is no rust, that would be a joke. But for as old as these cars are and from the many I have seen over the years, this thing is just about rust free to me. The minimal amount of rust repair that will be required is very good news to me. I have just finished major rust repairs on a 68 912 and a 66 Toyota Land Cruiser, so I am very happy to not have to do any serious repairs to this car. This is a cross post of sorts as I have been keeping a record on the 356 registry. link below. My car has a 69 912 engine so it is already an Outlaw. This was done over 30 years ago, so it was an Outlaw way before the name became cool. This is exactly what I wanted bc I am not into the concours Qtip thing. I have sand blasted the front inner fenders, shoot them with epoxy and will be painting them black soon. Then the entire front will go back together. I will be notching the beam to allow for lowering of the front end. Pics soon. Thanks for looking.
