I'm developing a body buck to replicate a Porsche Berlin-Rome Coupe (T64 or 60K10) and have written several articles about the car in the Porsche 356 Registry Magazine. The original cars were built on prototype VW chassis using a modified 24 hp VW motor. I have a VW chassis and 36 hp motor that I will modify and mount the body on. I have taken numerous pictures of the surviving Otto Mathe car (of 3 built) and the replication by PROTOTYP museum using the remaining parts from the 2 missing cars.
I learn a lot by seeing the posts and work of other serious metal men. Therefore, I expect to gain from membership in this site and contribute information that may benefit other members.
