over the last 20 years i have seen some ridiculous restorations and this is up there with the craziest. very nice work and a great save.

your work with the X pressings is very interesting. i have seen (in photographs) a number of ways of replicating pressings but have never seen anyone carve a die from steel, if you haven't already been asked, i'm sure there are others who would be interested in buying pressings made from your dies. hydroforming might be an option with your existing die.

once you have finished documenting the kettenkrad could we please get a photo essay on your schwimwagen? vw's have been an addiction for 20 years and a schwimwagen is 2nd only to a type 64 in my all time dream vehicles.
