Sorry to bump this again....

....but a forum member asked me to post some shots of the subframe crossmembers and the control arm mounts so he could compare with his 380SL. I will let the top view of the subframe I originally posted speak for the upper side, as it is identical to mine.
I'm thinking that this would be in reference to the recall for cracking at the control arm mounts, in another thread here.
So I've started cleaning up the frame and attached A-arms, etc., with the worst part being the springs. These are, for some reason, caked in what I call 'junkyard rust', that layered stuff that is easy to get off, but it's all over every part of both springs. My son helped me dig out the sandblaster and what sand I have, so I'll have at it in a few days. Weatherman is calling for more bloody snow tomorrow!
