you have managed to put one of merc’s master piece engines in one of its timeless work of art
what’s more is you did it in style making it look like it was factory work.
We demand a photo thread, plz |
Thanks Jay
How does it feel to drive it?
Well the fastest car I ever drove was a BMW 750. That car weighed about 500Lb more and had 89HP less. But that was also 20 years ago and I was 20 years dumber. Now 52 years old and having just got out of the hospital for heart trouble I suffered last week I will take it easy with this. I have had very few momentary full throttle burst.
As far as driving it. At this time I have not observed any weird handling characteristics but I haven't brought it to the limits of adhesion either so its too early to tell. I'm sure there will be massive playing around with bars and springs once I get my wheels straight.
Driving it is smooth as glass and really fun. I'm kind of taking it easy for the moment because I want to take it to Buffalo next month and I don't want anything to happen to it.
Pictures are posted in the attached link. I had asked Adam to lock up the thread since the build was essentially complete. If it was left open it would become a chit chat thread with no more build action. We can start other thread for chit chat like this one.
