Hello Kent and welcome to the forum.

Hi Mark,

(but done Outlaw style as I've done too many nuts&bolts restorations in my own lifetime)

I have heard that a lot from restorers. They say when they restore a vehicle it's for someone else's enjoyment. When the build a vehicle it's for them to enjoy.

I always thought that the one in the PROTOTYP museum was an original previously owned by Otto Mathé, but I might be wrong and have never seen it in person.
The Porsche museum is displaying a replica, built by Karosseriebau Drescher:

When the body is lent to some other location, the buck is displayed instead, though that's also something I haven't seen yet.

I'm really looking forward to your build, please keep us updated with lots of photos.

In your research you probably have run across this next build set of pics, so just in case you haven't, but also for others who might be interested:
