Wish I could send you a perfect rust free straight body from my local wrecking yard to save you from more of your own punishment!
Anyways love your posts, very informative and entertaining ! Keep chugging right along, it would be great to see this car completed! Thanks!

Thanks for the kind thoughts - I understand how most people would feel about it. I understand completely as my wife is one of them! The thing is though - I've always wanted to do this sort of thing. When I'm done with this one I plan to move onto another. I'm considering a W108, W111 may be a SL though they seem a bit on the small side... I do fancy 1950s American tin...
An old Mercedes is ideal for this sort of experience - the spares support is fantastic.
There are a few companies over here who import cars from the dry US states so in principle I could pay about the same amount of money get a rot free shell and take the easy way out. But I don't consider that to be sporting fun...
...the hunt goes on!
