  I am glad there are people that keep these old parts and stock them. In 2014 I bought a bone stock 4,002 mile 1989 Yamaha FZR1000. I didn't like any of the new exhausts out. Found a shop in New York that had a Vance&Hines  slip on from 1989. I called to make sure it wasn't a typo. The guy said he would have to call me back cause it was in a older warehouse. Called me back the next day and said he had it but it had a small dent. I said I'll take it and he took $100 off the price. About four days later I get the yellowed box with the exhaust in it. Dent was tiny. Tapped it out with a hammer. My FZR looks like it fell right out of 1989.

  How many times did Larry say "Cool" and "Amazing".... I think that Simo Veharanta is one of those Guys that stays under the RADAR but has incredible knowledge and Porsches and Engineering but he also seems to like to learn other things from other people. Clever Guy!

  We bought a 996 Turbo from SV Auto, nothing crazy like these builds but cool to have something that came from such an amazing shop! Also it’s insured through Hagerty 😎

  This is insane, just insane. have to give this guy credit to follow his own dream and just do it. Its what makes America great....if you are willing to work hard and do it the right way, you can do anything... and this guy is one of a kind.

  Perry&apos;s Custom Automotive sheet metal in Upland rebuilt some of the unavailable sheet metal components for the 959. The picture at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4augwAS79ow&amp;t=947">15:47</a> was taken in his shop. <br><br>Semo and his team do incredible work!!!! But also, so does Perry!!!
