Die ersten Modelle in Gmünd entstanden in Handarbeit. Dieses Foto dokumentiert gut den Entstehungsprozess, im Hintergrund Konstruktionsskizzen, Blechteile. Komenda und Otto Husslein vor der Holzkarosserie. Spezialisten klopften die Aluminium Teile wurden über der Holzblock-Karosse in Form, auch Komenda beherrschte das Handwerk des Metallklopfens und legte manchmal selbst Hand an, wenn es ums Korrigieren ging.

Diese Szene inspirierte den amerikanischen Künstler und Porsche Fan, Michael Jekot. "Das War Der Anfang". Sein Acrylbild  zeigt die Rolle die Erwin Komenda im Design und der Technik des Porsche Design spielt. Es beschreibt den frühen Beginn einer Designidee auf Papier, die übersetzt auf ausgeschnittene Muster aus Aluminium über einem Holzblock in Form gehämmert,  zum Beginn und Berührungspunkt für Designer wird - Porsche DNA.
