Also if made from steel were they welded to the bodywork or riveted?
If I recall the SEC's had a kit with an AMG part number that was made of fiberglass.

However depending on the AMG licensee's capabilities, some shops such as Westmont USA did sheet metal fabrication.

Most of the 124 kits were sheet metal.
