Stunning, Absolutely Stunning! Beautiful work! Can't wait to see it all finished! Any chance there will be a video of it driving down the road?

Interesting. Was that air filter made specifically for that car do you know? It looks like a Heb air filter, but with only one bend in the neck.

The car looks great, an amazing restoration.

B-pillar reminds me of Porsche / Zuendapp Type 12 prototype.

You stock guys have no sense of humor.

I do admire your anal retentive persuit of perfection though. Believe it or not, that was a compliment.

Actually I look at it as more of an obsession with what was on the car when it left the factory. I think that "perfection" can be applied to customs and <gulp> "lowered" cars as well. We have seen a few examples of that in recent years as well. Just not my cup of tea...

I Photoshop a Kohlruss, I will put it on a Unimog chassis with red tinted windows and a mermaid bust on the hood like those old sailing ships. Not only does that show a sense of humor, it exudes non conformance. Wink
