  I visited a restoration shop last weekend, and this Saturday we're going to check out a place that specializes in Porsche 356s. What's the general consensus on shop tours: cool or not?

  Its extremely cool, provided you don't piss off the owner by taking up his time. Some do not mind.
  

  I met some guys years ago in the middle of nowhere SC who did restorations on a wide range of cars. Their skills were incredible. Most of it was done with hand tools, a gas torch and a welder. They finally got an English wheel. Right after Katrina, I stopped by and only one guy was there. I was extremely shocked when he told me his brother and father had passed away a few years earlier. The stories I could tell about these guys!
