Bodywork

Automotive Design Craft – Enduring Value

With our expertise in steel and aluminium processing, and the fabrication and fitting of custom-made sheet-metal parts, we create precision in perfection when it comes to panel gaps and surfaces – faithful to the original down to the smallest detail. With maximum original substance and a flawlessly crafted body, we create exclusive masterpieces rarely found on the market. One thing is clear: only a perfect body provides the foundation on which further investments pay off and sustainable value appreciation can be achieved.

For the past 25 years, Mr Willibald Seidel has worked exclusively on sports and racing cars from the 1950s and 1960s. In the field of aluminium craftsmanship, he is a recognised authority. Mr Seidel heads the bodywork department.

Sheet-Metal Work

Shrinking with the hand former, stretching on the English wheel

The production of body panels requires craftsmanship, creativity and experience.

Fitting

The trained eye makes the difference

The ability to change angles and heights can be learned. A trained eye, however, is the result of years of experience.

Welding

Mastery of original techniques

Gas welding for period-correct joints carried out at the highest level of craftsmanship.

Riveting

Original connections from the era

In classic aircraft and racing-car construction, components are typically forge-riveted — a standard that only few experts can still reproduce true to the original.
