Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

“Lost” Alloy Gullwing Restoration Time-Lapse

Posted July 03, 2012 9:00 AM by dstrohl

Whenever another barn find pops up, inevitably so does the question of whether to restore it. Rudi Koniczek's business is restoring gullwings, so it's no surprise that when he came across the so-called "last unaccounted for" alloy-bodied Mercedes-Benz 300 SL in its resting place for the last 40 years, he'd end up restoring it. Fortunately, he's having the process documented and displayed for us all to see, via time-lapse photography. So far he's posted videos showing the entire teardown process, leaving us in anticipation of the gullwing's forthcoming resurrection.
