It´s not a "fake" - it´s an original - not a copy of anything. |

the roof line on your coupe looks much nicer than the orginal. have you made your side windows ? |
The front door glass is same size n profile as Genuine Heb.
The rear quarter glass is still to be made but looking at making a slide on/out type of set up
I like the look of the one above looks like a hard top vert
Would be great if it was removable |

So, is it a fake coachbuilt? Or not a real Hebmueller, ( wich it never pretended to be)? Does Dr D sell all the panels needed to make a coupe, or just a poorly fitting decklid? Sorry, not trying to be a smart ass, just trying to fuel a discussion on when the timeline border is for coachbuilt vs repro.... |

Its not a Heb but its not trying to be, I guess
Dr D makes repro Heb panels, bloody good ones from what Ive read only though.
He makes every piece you could possibly need to recreate a Heb
Do a search mate plenty of info on here
The roof has obviously been fabbed, very well too

No, the round tubing was just a guide for me while shaping the skin , I removed that after finishing the top, and added some sheetmetal reinforcements to the inner structure later.
I will check for some pics.
