They were good inspiration

That's awesome, the original molds are definitely a score! Glad they didn't disappear and someone like you and your mates got hold of it.
It needs a lot of work and skills to make something like this from basically nothing.
Still trying to get some "normal" Type 4 with type one exhausts done in the "spare" time. A challenge in this current environment over here.

Re: www.apfelbeck.nl
For those without facebook, here the latest updates: I had the manifolds cnc machined from billet as a casting seemed too much time consuming and costly. Not that these were cheap, but they sure are pretty and fitted like a glove!

Were the rocker covers cast and machined or did they come from a solid block?

Billet. For a few small parts, its a little less expensive to do so and less of an issue to change the design a bit if need be lateron

Re: www.apfelbeck.nl
Small update for those without facebook:
Two major progresses: I have a set of newly made camshafts and all valveguides and seats are in all 4 heads now!
Next up is to digitalize the piston dome for the desired compression ratio (about 11:1) and send that off to JE.
