Hebmuller replica????
Does anyone know where to get the hebmuller kits? I used to see the fiberglass body panels and now metal panel. Can anyone help on getting either? Thank's

http://www.bgwspectre.com/ or wizard (form UK though) sells the closest thing to a Heb.
If you want a true Heb replica, the only company that I knew of was in Australia and just recently stopped making them. They were good looking too, all metal based on modified early bodies for cheap, like $6k. So the only other way now is to make one yourself.
Checkout fellos STF gearhead's project:

I'd be very interested in an update about Bug ^^^ oops Spectre. Apparently the shop has been in business for a very long time, but they don't do 'walk-ins'. Parts are made through a cottage industry kind of thing, which can be very good if your builders are solid.
Okay, so I screwed up the name.

It's BGW Spectre: http://www.bgwspectre.com/
I have their old catalog, prob around '94 or so but I don't think theor product lineup has changed much.
From what I hear they sell solid kits and parts. They're helpful from when I called them up a couple years ago on prices. I heard they allow walk ins with an appointment.

Here is some info about the Australian Hebmuller:
http://www.blueglue.com/archives/vintag ... 00681.html
It´s about what you can find about them for now. I´ve also learned that they´ve probably gone out of business.
Sad but true?!
P.S. This is my own project made from scratch: http://www.pre67vw.co.uk/readers_cars/d ... 4&keyword=

The Rosentiel (one and only) is a masterpiece. I've seen another article on it and would love to see it in person. I have known one person in my life who can shape metal like that, and his work is priceless. If y'all run across someone who does that kind of work in steel, let me know.

John, do you mean locally (the U.S.)? Gearhead's project (the "Splitster" shown above in Nick's 2nd and 3rd pics) is not a kit, and is totally built from scratch. He's always willing to answer anyone's questions reguarding the build-up. He (Thomas) and his brother Mark have been slaving away on it over in Denmark.

I finally found the pictures I saved a couple years ago from the Aussie site before they dissapeared.
They did a very nice job.
These were the links: (not working anymore) http://msnhomepages.talkcity.com/Corpot ... /Hebmuller

Well, I will watch for the Rosentiel homebuilt at the Classic again this year, and maybe we will have time to shoot some good pictures....
