The current issue of Excellence has a feature article on long time member Mike Gagen and his 69 911T and it's extensive evolution to an RSR. Congrats to Mike and the incredible build quality along the entire journey.

Thanks guys and thanks to PCA for providing all the driver improvement programs.
Randy Wells did the article and it was an opportunity to watch him work.
Here is a link to his photo site, a longtime photographer and aspiring writer.
