Hi, not sure if it is allowed here but want to share my long time project.
Due to the lack of an affordble Hebmuller type 14a, I set my mind on a home built Hebmuller tribute page. The goal from the beginning was to make one, as good as possible, correct as possible. Started in 1987 with the idea, a donor and a handfull picts. The finish line was reached june 2017 while entering the main square of Hessich Oldendorf under own power.
It is all made in metal, the roof is 100% copy on an original roof frame. Each part is made like it was made in 1949-1950. Enjoy.
First attempt... with almost no Info.
Roof frame in Black is original from 49; other one is made in 2013.
rear view on the first attempt
Jig saw puzzle
Pict taken on a blue monday...
Mai 2017... almost there. HO , here we come.

Amazing work, Peter!
Too bad I missed this one at HO- otherwise I would have thought. "Oh just another Hebmüller... boring!" |

Great job! Do you have more info and photos of the build process? I really like to build a heb replica from a speedster beetle in the future. From what car did you started the build?
Cheers from Spain

Hi Alberto, I started with a butchered 55 oval.. .roof was full of dents from kids playing on it.... not that bad. Changed some details to split like dash and inspection panel in the back above gearbox and some small things. I have lot's of picts. All is documented but to post them here is a long process. But some of them are on my FB page. If you have FB, send me a privat message so I can hook you up. It is a non public one. _________________ Zelensis, glassfibre body made in Belgium , disigned and built on a VW platform About 25 body's built.

Yes I know Randy.. The rosenstiel roadster is in Belgium. A friend bought it due to my contact with Randy. THe 5 window is in a collection and I guess the 3 window will end also there. _________________ Zelensis, glassfibre body made in Belgium , disigned and built on a VW platform About 25 body's built.
