After looking close at the aftermarket door skin option we have decided to source OG split/oval era OG skins.

I'm a little shocked at the stress cracking, didn't Volkswagen know that people would still be driving these cars 70 years later? Sheesh!

Just out of curiosity Jason, will all the mounting hardware be new? Or restored original ones? Only reason why I’m asking is it would be a waste to put all that good work to waste with using unoriginal bits.

Sorry. I don’t have a answer for that. At this time my roll in the restoration is focused on the metal reconstruction. I believe the thread will continue to be update as the project moves on to the different stages and individuals involved in building it back up. Stay tuned. 👊
Thanks following along👍

It is no secret that we love the product Zero Rust for all the blind and dead cavities that can and will not get attention during the body and paint process

I was having so much fun that I laid it on the entire inner structure, It really isn’t designed to be a base coat.
Once I started I could not stop Laughing

Thanks for explaining what the blue coating is, I was going to ask. You have a lot of metal skills and are doing excellent work.

Thanks for following along.

Zero-Rust is a DTM direct to metal , phenolic modified alkyd rust and corrosion control coating , which puts down an impermeable barrier at the steel level It’s adhesion to steel and dielectric ability is extraordinary. Steel is isolated from the electrolysis process that converts steel to rust.

(Those are the kind words of the manufacturer)
I do know it is well know and respected in the automotive finish industry. I was even told is was around long before the infamous POR 15
