Hello all, I introduced myself on this site on the 23rd and posted a link to a build thread I started on the samba. I purchased a fiberglass body and shortened pan to build a replica 1943 Schwimmwagen. I have been working on it on and off the last year or so and am making good progress. If anyone is interested in following the build you can check out the following

And yes I plan on trying to make it amphibious as was the original.

You either have to be too cheap to hire a pro or determined to do it yourself, but it helps to be both!
