The vans decorated: art in motion

The paneled versions of the Transporter have been used by many traders and professionals. The advertising graphics painted on the sides of these vans in the 1950s and 1960s, nowadays great classics of advertising art, arouse passion.

Volkswagen: brand history (1)

Volkswagen is considered, at present, as one of the leading car manufacturers, but its beginnings were much more difficult than it might seem. With a factory in ruins and at an extremely difficult economic time, the Wolfsburg brand was reborn from its ashes to become a world reference.

Happy Christmas everybody....

The other T1 Camper

In addition to Westphalia, other manufacturers also offered their own conversions of the T1 for lovers of camping. The popularization of camping in the United States made the demand for this type of vehicles soar and offered a good business opportunity to a large number of entrepreneurs.

Evolution of T1 (1959-1962)

The Transporter entered the new decade maintaining the basic characteristics that had made it a success during its first ten years of life. To them, Volkswagen added a large number of technical improvements that ensured the commercial validity of the T1 for several years, in a process of continuous improvement, a method comparable to what was already being applied in the Bug

I have been enjoying your progress on this model.

I hope this is not rude but is this an issue with the manufacturing of this part?

Can it be heated up a little, maybe with a hair dryer, and flattened?

Thanks Everett, so far, this is the only major issue that I´ve found, seems I will have to cut the excess of material so it can fit properly, hope you´re enjoying the progress as much as I do.

It looks to me like it is hitting the base of the grab bar on the left, causing the piece to bow. Depending on what the material the seat is made of would determine how to flatten. Just heating would not work unless heating it shrinks the material allowing it to lay flat. I think Dann Tellez is on the right track in trimming it to fit better.
At the cost of this model I would hope the company has seen this problem (in there QC department) and a replacement part will be sent out.
What a great project. I can't wait to see more.
