I have not yet had the privilege of visiting the Grundmann Museum....... maybe one day [-o<

Looks like another top drawer restoration. Keep up the good work and updating us with the progress. I look forward to seeing it in 2011! :D

They must have doubled the collection since I was there. My favorite VW photograph continues to be me sitting in the back of their Rometsch Taxi. They were super nice people!

Vehicle looks like streemlined speed is around, but the "engine" tells the truth. Must have been disappointment, even then...

Very nice!

The above photo is scary to me. I can see myself getting in the car to work on it and kicking or stepping on the dash pod.

Happy New year to all of you.
Stunning car...High level of a resto, like always from Hessisch. 8)

I swear I hear that English wheel in the corner of the shop saying: I helped to make that roof....decades ago in that shop in Berlin, Pff and it was not easy.
:lol:

How much heavier is its body than a standard Beetle's?

When this picture popped up I thought that was an I-pod in the dash. 8)

Christian... it looks really good with the Copper bumpers actually! Maybe you should copperplate all the trim and the tailpipes instead of chrome!... and polish it all. It would be awesome! a standout!

It would be in the true spirit of specialty coachbuilding... like the crazy Art Deco Bugattis and Talbot Lago's

Here is the only other car I have ever seen with copper plated trim.
