I suppose we all search for perfection in our lives, but few of us ever reach that point of perfection do we?? :?
I'm very happy with the outcome of my projects so far and have to thank several people for being prepared to spend lots of thier valuable and very expensive time.
I have found that very often dealing with big suppliers can have its problems 😶
By this I mean that sometimes the bigger guys cannot fully understand the little demands for a thing to be ' this way' or 'that way'...
The smaller companies still retain the personal and ' hands on' approach to manufacture and production that sems to suit my objectives of both volume and quality.
I know this doesn't always hold true, but it's what I've experienced over the years.
The underside of the lid is nearly finalized and will either have the moulded contours of the original or a custom built aluminium mounting for the hinge area.
As I've said previously, my objective is to make a car 'in the syle of' a Hebmuller and not to fully replicate.
Having said that, I would expect that those who want a ' Full on ' Replica will easily be able to satisfy thier requirements with most of my parts.
I've already been asked to build 3 seperate Hebmuller ' style' roadsters for people and think that initially this will be my usage for the parts I've reproduced.
I've quoted my first recipient £6,000 to create the roadster on his existing 1960 Beetle. He seems more than happy with the price and it satisfies my needs also. 😎
Moe pics to follow soon I hope.
