New-Old Bimmer Moves Forward

(Real 507 nose.)
I mentioned that the fabrication shop, Vescio’s Customizing and Restorations, is building my friend Bill a “tribute” BMW 507, arguably the company’s most beautiful car. The base vehicle is an MGA, but its front and rear ends will be modified to closely resemble the wonderful late-’50s German roadster.
I love good fabrication! The MG has been completely stripped and now, with lots of photos for reference, Bo Vescio, Ryan Ladda and Mike Jenson are working their magic, cutting, bending, shaping and welding sheet steel to transform an English design into a German one.
This is a fun car and a great project. I’ll keep ya posted.
