  9. Ol Deuce,

    You likely have some updated shots, but these are the "old" ones I have with the hood open.

    Beauty! Thanks!
     
  12. Your right Bob , in this shot it totally looks the fastback style,in the earlier chop pics it looked like he was going to keep that little lip right under the window,its hard to tell until we see a straight on side view wichever the case may be,this merc is lookin damn good.

    Thanks so much for those front shots! Awesome car...awesome work-
     
  17. MercMan,

    You're welcome.

    I know the owner/builder has been lurking and watching this post, now I and Ol Deuce have to talk him into finding the time to join and post his other progress pics himself (he's one of those that would rather be in the shop cutting something up)

  26. Those are old pics, I believe its since been dropped a few inches all the way around.

    I'll see if I can talk him into getting it drug out for an updated set of pics.

  27. Great to see more pics of this project. Based on the hood mods, and the other front end mods, is the car inspired by the Hirohata?
