just trying to help.

there is a lot of continuity in the benz line. the more things you have to fab the more trouble you will have making repairs later, and the less sellable the car will be.

i have kicked around a lot of swaps in my day but been pretty conservative in actual practice. and when tired of them were able to sell them along without much loss.

thanks for the apology. i was feeling dissed.
