Southern California’s air-cooled Porsche culture is undoubtedly home to faithful enthusiasts who believe Porsche’s legendary sports car, the 911, is the ultimate canvas to build the “perfect” sports car.

That answer for most 911 hot-rod owners is No, and this year’s ünStock (pronounced ooooon-stock), now in its second year, is proof.
