The Making of the 356 | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, I searched but couldn't find anything. Anyway, it is a documentary on the building of the 356. It's a five part series with each one being about 8-10 minutes each. I did find a complete one but it was a lower quality video. Pretty cool. Note the lack of any safety gear for the most part.

I believe the Porsche Club of America (PCA) offered this series to it's members on DVD a few years ago. I have the set some where in the attic.

That must be the long version as we all know one can be home assembled in just 40 hours ~
