Bodybuilder Michael Völkner shows how he reshapes the trunk lid of a Mercedes 300 SL roadster from the 1960s from the original model and installs it in the classic car. He works on the English wheel, a machine with which he can achieve a double curvature from a flat aluminum sheet. This is craftsmanship and requires skill, concentration and a sense of proportion.
