Hi Kev, Good to see you making progress on the car, I have happy memories of our drive to Bad Camberg in the rain Another option is to just get it blasted and then put some etch primer on it. Rob |

Rob That was a very wet weekend Rob. The worst rain I have ever seen. Kev- did you think about getting it media blasted instead by Blast Cleaning in Billingshurst? They have the floorpan and beam off my '59 at the moment and really know what they are doing with body panels. |

Thanks guys, yes I thought about blasting but the inside of the door panel has been sprayed with some sort of protective coating, its a bit like spray on concrete in texture Because of this I was worried about blasting warping the panel, but I guess I could take it down to show them and get their opinion.

Wow, Peter that's nuts  I assume there are more pictures in the rest of the magazine ? I wonder what happened to the resto project on it ? Many thanks for digging that out and posting

Kev, No problem. That was the only pict from the mag with the color on it and the striping. The others are from the resto and the finished car....I will fix that for you tomorow. I have all the mags with Hebs in it on a stack...I remembered the pict like it was yesterday as this heb was my model since the moment I got this mag. I even have bought a second copy as the first one was worn out. Did you buy the door from Claus Missing? He sure have more picts then. cheers |

Thanks Peter for the pics, thats some pretty serious surgery there ! Turned out really nice though by the looks of it I'm not sure if I've seen the car in the flesh or not, thats a German plate right ?
Cheers Kev

Kev,i think that car is pictured in the Bob Shaill/Keith Seume coachbuilt book. Probably a clearer picture in there if you want one.
