The rod bender is the 350SDL not the 300SDL correct? As for the situation dillemma between the W140 and W126, I personally love the W126's, I have just seen some really nice W140's but you guys are right in the ways of repair cost being catastrophic.. I think they are more than my 500E's. If I can find my ideal Black on black,gray, or palomino 420SEL with no rust then I will take it.. I just love the look of some W140's in the all black monochrome scheme and that slab sidedness always commanded a presense back in the day and still do just not wearing 20-22" chrome wheels.. Yes the W126's are and always will be the ***** (good thing) in my book. If you guys know of one and preferably an east coaster.. PM me..

Thanks guys,
