Death Valley

Here's a picture of my car outside of Death Valley on my way to Las Vegas.

THanks.. I love that car..it's been alot of work but I love it..

I'm currently working on a 3D model of it.. you may have seen the wheel that I did months ago. I have this idea for a vintage mercedes commercial that I want to do for fun and my reel. I might try to get into the right hands of somebody at Mercedes. I don't suppose anybody here knows who handles their advertising.

Looks great, what an accomplishment after all the work you have done.

But what's with the hood gap? There are adjusters at the front corners.

The fender is messed up.. I hope to replace it at some point and then get a new paint job. Th ephotgraph hides much of the minor stuff.

The front end still sem to be a little high although not as obvious in this picture. Another contributing factor I thought of of is that I removed the air compressor for the AC which I thought may actually lower the front a bit due to it's weight?

Your front looks fine, it's your rear that looks low! And the weight of an AC compressor wouldnt matter THAT much!
