Welcome also from Nor Cal, where are you based? Merc looks real different. As for the headlamps...Early Mercedes 200 series?
Cmon man. We're not new at this. I remember Frank DeRaosa using SL headlights 20 years ago at least . Aside from that welcome from another Nor Cal native.
i knew the masters would know, was only joking....very little hasnt been done already. atleast i was riding and driving cool cars 25yrs ago ..im not worthy
Thats a wicked chop on the Merc. Whats the measurements on the chop. From the rear it looks like the rear window is laid out but from the side the side windows look pretty tall like it wasnt more than a few inch's. What gives?
Welcome from New York. I stashed away a 50 Buick grill for my Merc years ago. The shop that the car was at got closed up cause the guy didn't pay his rent. Took over a year to get my car back. Never found the grill, but somehow I now have 3 sets of fender skirts. Oh well. Lol
ya saw the buick grill and had to have it .looks cool in the caddy ends i think..swapped out grill to back..as for the chop its 4" front to back no slant wanted headroom for my homies...its a 50 window ..nothing insane done just done well there is a pic of the cuts in my album if ya wanna see the cut lines...i have more also...thanks again....its almost done...rainy here so i got a cple months..front and rear window in no side at all yet or interior...thinkin early caddy benches or lowered stockers...
