Outstanding as usual Mr. G., that's one fantastic piece of metalwork, bravo!, very impressive! |
Let's hold applause until someone installs one and we see if the actually fit  . Not saying they won't, but the pretty pictures are just that at this point. |

Are you going to make a full 72 dogleg, only real difference from that one I think is the flare on the wheel well. Also wondering on the 72 rear corners thats the odd one.

I'm going to need a lower nose section pretty soon. Is there a panel/replacement for the inner nose? Mine is pretty well shot. Actually, inner dog legs, entire front floor, inner lower nose and outer lower nose will all need replaced. Any ideas?

I wonder how the hinge and latch holes line up?, early or late style?
What's wrong with this one from the classifieds? http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1038864

Where is the rear wheel well / inner arch panel available from? I can't seem to find it anywhere, but I did find this pic, so it must exist! (I really only need the outer part where it meets the quarter panel flare/lip area.)

Is there any chance of complete Early Baywindow Noses being reproduced without a raised emblem area?

Any thoughts on what the best way to contact Gerson is? I've PM'ed him on here recently and like a year back, and both times got no response.

they have early bay noses, i'd just have to hammer the emblem area down I guess..
I'm just hoping Gerson makes a green one that doesn't have patches on it or a raised emblem area.

no, they don't. look closely at the vent, and lower panel. you can clearly see where they welded the parts on to a late nose
