Typical, Mixed mechanical work with body work which is a pet hate of mine.

Mech first THEN body unless you do a full strip and assembly.

And 4 doors always look like 4 doors no matter what you do unless its cut and shut.

I usually stay away from other people's projects, unless it's a straight forward situation.

This one has too many tangents

 

[WiSeGuYY]

i do agree with you guys it is a sad to see the car in this stage , personally i don't feel like it will turn to be a nice one mixing german body tech with older 40& 50 american style , who knows i might be lacking of imaginations.

REGARDS

TAREK

I hate it when someone destroys something that was already good and then doesn't complete it.

Granted, it might be cool looking if/when finished, but it would be THAT persons personal style, not my own. I don't know what this person was going for? Custom hot rod, I guess......whatever....not the direction I would take it.

I have said I would take any Mercedes if someone gave it to me.....this one is kinda questionable......I agree with Tony66_au that it needs to be "cut & shut" to look correct. Perhaps this?:

....probably in everyone else's eyes as well - not a pretty sight, and simply too much for anyone wanting to take it on. Regards Styria

That's what I call individuality AND nice

 

[300SDude]

Thank God that "individual" does not live next door to me and I have to see the poor thing sit in the weather and be tortured all year long, lol.

Hehehe...
I'm somehow sure this baby gets garaged AND pampered all year long!

Well I need to admit that I like it and regard it as a cracking good styling exercise. It combines some nice, and well moulded features, of a couple of models, and if the home in the background is any guide, this is a well executed project in more ways than one. I am sure no one has anything like it. Regards Styria

 

[300SDude]

LOL, I thought you were talking about the craigslist car and didn't see the link you were referring to until this morning.

I actually have several pictures of the one that is old/new combined together.

Hi Dude, I would really like to see those pictures - as long as it is not too much trouble for you to post them on our site. Regards Styria

N.B. You don't mind me addressing you as 'Dude' ? It's just that much more convenient.

It doesn't bother me what you address me as. Dude seems to work just fine.

LOL, I already had the pictures uploaded on photobucket, so no, it's no problem to add them.

See THATS not a bad job, just the right amount of new and old and the body is in proportion obviously.

 

[Oversize]

We'll probably never see another like this; after all, who could afford to cut up a Grosser AND a late model SL???
