I agree with you David that the body panels would be easy enough to replicate. From past experience on home made dune buggy bodies a solid frame work with spot welded panels would be easy...but spray on some insulation foam inside the body work ...otherwise the sheet metal becomes like the skin on a drum and booms like crazy...... Heck they never even bothered removing the back panel to the cab.... just built right on to it.

Love the Hummer like back section with the spare on top and the drop down picnic table.......

I would use after market flat lens repro lamps for the headlights and repro Notek lamps are available from the Kubel replicar dealers in the states.... two old German rifles in the holders and you are ready for a cruise.

The canvas top should be easy to replicate as well although driving open would be more fun..... already have a full nos set of 900x16 Michelin square block pattern.....

I would like to keep the 4X4 set up if I can fit a short auto tranny....some models for vans have a very short tailshaft tube..... would favor the Chev 6 for ease of installation in the tight engine compartment.

All you need is the imagination......

........ and with imagination you never grow old.......
