😭

So by not removing, one still can get it into the right shape. Ok!

Ditto!

Can't one just remove the "backing" and use the chrome grille to put the surround back to shape? Just wondering...

The difference between OEM and both models or between both models? My statement was that there is no (noticeable) difference in shape between the amt anual and the Moebius kit. So both differ from the OEM,which is IIRC, that the drip rail goes down to soon, should be aft the imaginary B-pillar. Is it a biggie? You decide, I just wanted to say that sometimes those anuals are not the gold standard, no more no less. Cheers from this side of the puddle. Luc

Much too early, I know Tim, but someday I would love to read your memoirs, not only model- but also car industry wise. Cheers!

Bob, I remember that when the Moebius '65 was released, comments about the position of the C-pillar, yet the Amt 64 an anual which means the "gold standard" for some, had the exact same shape 😉 Cheers, from across the puddle.

Is that good or bad? 😉

Thanks Walid, but got a few of those already. Cheers! Luc

What Mark says. I've done my share of disassembling for future rebuilds and frankly regret it. Cuz you're erasing something unique, a time capsule. My 2 cents.

You're selling a dream, so yes people want the souped up version, and if there's room for the builders personal touch other than paint color, even better. When one want to buy a real car the reality of life (financial, practicality) prevents that. Cheers!

A pitty that besides the obligatory Mini, beetle, 2cv. Golf and now the upcomming 205, European model car manufacturers are gun shy to do the bread and butter cars for the masses, European Ford's and GM's Opel and Vauxhall models....US model car builders in that respect are blessed. Oh well.

The business model of HLJ (and the like) is going to take a hit with this. In Europe we are used to this, we always had to pay duties on commercial packages comming in from outside the EU.
