Thanks!

Perhaps not exactly the same car: 1938 Steyr 220
(As seen at the 2013 Keeneland, Kentucky Concours d'Elegance)

One more photo of the Steyr from my collection:



An absolutely beautiful restoration! Pre-to early WWII car-art at its finest.

Fantastic looking car, looks like something from one of Tintin's earlier adventures.

Review goes along with experience of a Hunor truck I made, one or two moulding blemishes, but accuracy of fit absolutely spot on.

Good luck, Andras, with getting a nice shiny finish on those beautiful curved body panels... I've come to realise painting cars is very different to painting AFVs.

Dear Michael,
I could not decide exactly which type this is- the differences are small and not necessarily visible (engine upgrade, etc.)
Nevertheless, these versions look close enough not to matter.

I really appreciate the reference photos; they are gorgeous.

I think I know what I'll spend my lotto winnings on.



Dear Matt,
Thank you for the kind words I'll be posting photos of the finished car somewhere -I guess carmorama (:D), or my blog... but yeah, getting a smooth, shiny finish that does not look artificial is going to be a problem. I guess polishing will be part of the process.
