Welcome to the PORSCHE page!
As you
already know, Porsche automobiles are classic beauties that have captured the hearts and
souls of many automotive enthusiasts around the world. Whether you are in need of
some minor cosmetic repairs, a complete "factory" refinish, or a full blown
"concours" restoration..... We would be delighted to apply our skills to
YOUR project. We at PROGRESSIVE AUTO ART love to work on PORSCHE automobiles
as much as you love to drive, collect and show them off! Here are some pictures of
vehicles that have been Restored, Repaired &/or Refinished by Progressive Auto Art or
by Jack (one of the partners) before we opened up for business.
RESTORATION DETAILS:
We are experts at floor pan, rocker panel & hinge
rebuilding for your Porsche. We also fully understand and are capable of attaining
the magical and consistent 3mm gap on all body panels. We have even come up
with an almost exact reproduction to the "factory" undercoating. We also
understand the need to use "correct" fasteners where and how they were
originally used from the factory on your Porsche.
For those of you needing rust repair on the lower door skin on your
356, Jack has perfected the task of cutting off the lower edge of the door skin,
fabricating a new piece and welding it up using a special jig he constructed. It
exactly matches the compound curves to hold panels in alignment so a proper butt joint can
be achieved with a minimum of sheetmetal warpage. The result is a seam that is
practically undetectable inside (or out). Of course, the rust on the inside is
treated and the metal is sealed using an Epoxy Primer so it won't return. To finish
off the process, a proper hem flange is rebuilt then the door is painted after the
bodywork has been completed leaving a rebuilt and new looking door for your 356
restoration project.
When it comes to bodywork and paint, we are capable of producing award winning
finishes on your Porsche. If it is "Concours" quality that you are
after, we will make sure that all areas on your Porsche will be meticulously and
painstakingly brought up as close to the 100 point standard as possible. For
example, the back side of your bumpers will look every bit as good as the
outside! No detail will be overlooked. Vehicles that undergo this amount
of work will go out into the show circuit and stand proud next the other examples brought
forth. This "concours" level work is reserved for the discerning
enthusiast who understands the complexities and costs of such a huge and tedious
undertaking.
REFINISHING & COLLISION REPAIR DETAILS:
If you are involved in an accident and need minor to major
body repairs or simply just want to give your Porsche a new paint job, we can take care of
you. We work well with all major Insurance companys. We can lovingly
repair your Porsche so that there will be absolutely NO indication of any prior
misfortune. We are experts at color matching and blending. Little dings or
major panel reconstruction &/or replacement... Handled! Glass replacement...
Handled! Door gasket and glass seal replacement... Handled!
If you would like to give your Porsche a new facelift, exterior refinishing is
what you need and we can take care of you. We will remove all trim pieces, bumpers
etc and properly make any needed repairs, then prepare the exterior of your Porsche before
giving it a fresh paint job. This type of work is relatively inexpensive and you
will love the way your old Porsche looks with new paint! If you would like to
change the color of your Porsche (perhaps back to a factory color?), we can also handle
that. Keep in mind that now we will have to prepare and paint the door jambs, under
the hood and engine cover etc so the cost is slightly higher compared to a simple exterior
refinish.
