The article you are wanting to read about porsche 356 kit, can be found here:The Porsche 356 has been used in many movies over the years. But was it the Porsche 356 kit replica or the real deal? The 356 buffs and those that are typically attuned to detail may be able to spot kits from factory cars. The 356 was used in many movies some fleeting scenes while others very prominent. Movies like Harper, Bullitt, King of the Mountain, 48 Hours, Another 48 Hours, The Kid, Possession, and Anything Else all featured the 356 and there were many other movies where the scenes were brief. You can almost guarantee that in scenes where a crash or explosion was about to occur a 356 kit was used rather than a factory car. But the question remains if it looks like a Speedster is it really a Speedster? One thing is for certain there both factory and replica are fun and distinguishing the two can be very difficult without close examination. A 356 Speedster guarantees you superior performance and a whole lot of fun! The 354 was introduced in 1954 with a light weight model that was relatively bare bones. In no time it became an American race icon winning SCCA races and many others. And 50 years later in 2004 the Thunder Ranch 356 is introduced which is terrific reproduction of the original 1954 model. The new Thunder Ranch kit is based on a powder coated full tubular frame designed to insure the chassis has proper strength and the weight is reduced to provide the maximum durability. It features many functions that aren't found in any other Speedsters and one must admit these are truly outstanding features. The hand laid fiberglass is interwoven with composite materials to provide the optimum body. It has a sealed trunk and engine compartment as well as behind seat storage just like the original. You can choose from a host of custom body and accessory options as well as the twin grill engine cover, GT headrest, and the hardtop option. Plenty of choices here. And the comparison between the original 356 and the Thunder Ranch 356 is pretty impressive. Both had a 48 inch height with the top down. The Thunder Ranch had 6 inches of ground clearance and 1535 pound dry weight whereas the 356 had 7 inches of clearance and 1800 pound dry weight.
