I thought I might post something about what is going on with my "Hebster" the Hebmuller 14-00001 replica.

Here is a picture of it last I had it outside last year.

My first attempt at making my own custom Aufbau tag for the Hebster.
The print quality wasn't ok as I used an slightly unconvetional method to transfere the print to the aluminium plate. Tomorrow I will make an other attempt the traditional way.:wink:

Hehe. :lol: Nice one Carsten.
I first was thinking several options for that text too but couldn't make anything look grafically as good as the original so I decided on just changing the Hebmuller to Hebster.

Good to see this is still going. Folding roof mechanisms always look like a nightmare!

Yesterday I drew up the inner panel where the hinge mounts will bolt to.

Today I will hopefully get some of the parts welded! 😃

nice progress Kristian... Looing forward to meet you and your hebster in Hessisch .....( I will not write the year for obvious reason, as I know it is hard to get a date fixed)

Some more progress today. Handformed bodysupports and fitted the parts to a square tube that will grow into a jig of some sort... 🙂
