Your work is inspirational. So much so I've dived into a rotisserie restoration of a Aug 59 Vert. After watching you through this thread you have prooved that doing things right is the way to go.

At the moment my Karmann is turning to peices as I chase rust. The wife is wondering if it is a resoration or a destruction taking place :-)

I'm going to try to follow your techniques, patching and rebuilding from OG metal where possible.

If you don't mind sharing some more secrets I have a small request. How the hell did you manage to bend the seal strip so perfectly! Bending rolls or by hand with a keen eye?


I have have the seal strips but they are so stiff and I am afraid that I will end up just kinking them...

Your willing student

Scott
