POSTMODERN PORSCHE: American resto-modding meets Porsche purism

摘要

IN A JUNKYARDS-AND-SMOKESTACKS part of L.A., forty-six-year-old Rob Dickinson, leader of the 1990s rock band Catherine Wheel, lies belly-down in a cluttered workshop under a 1991 Porsche 911 that costs more than twice as much as a brand-new 911 Turbo. Dickinson's resto-mod service for early 1990s, 911s - called Singer Vehicle Design, after his former career - began when music-industry types looked at his banana-yellow tasked, "Can you make me one?" In 2008 he decided that he could, then set about it with a "level of scrupulousness" that would daunt Chip Foose.
