I love your write ups on this car, what a fun thread to look through! Your radiator guy seems like a jerk, and as you said, I guess some people just don't have any sense of aesthetics. Good job on those hubcaps though. I'm going to have a few of mine done soon on my '84 as you can see someone tried to paint one of them to match before, and its about a 20 footer job. I guess you really do need the Mercedes template in order to do a good job. Keep the posts coming. Hopefully soon I'll start a thread like yours with my '84, it looks like fun. Take care
