old race car rebuild
hello fellow pelicans,
 some of you know us and have been to our shop. we have had some postings here and there, but now it is time to introduce ourselfs. we thought it would be the best to invite you on a typical restoration at KUNDENSPORT. a 69T that was converted for hill climb events in southern France, where it resided up to 1976. the car was rough, parts missing, but solid. i am still trying to make sense of its history and filling in the blanks. here the start of the project; i hope you will enjoy Ed Palmer + Hans Lapine

Wow, nice fiberglass. Do you fabricate those pieces, too? The metalwork is first-rate. I always enjoy seeing what is going on in your shop (especially the 917). I am so glad you are only 15 minutes away from my front door.
