Are the drums there for when you get tired of wrenching or do you bring live music in?

I see her is the smoky distance.

I didn`t see the Drums, but I can hear the drum roll.

I was scoping in the comfy chair in the hot Rod.


Nice shop, I was pricing one, 30 x 60ft. With the concrete work and the shop, was around $34K. Iam taking all and any donations.

Yep. This is part of my motorcycle shop in the heart of Baltimore, Maryland for my business Monstercraftsman.com. Personal shops only look like this if you are single and have no dependents. I usually come in early about 3:30 a.m. and jam for an hour to get inspiration for the day..

p.s. Full size car paint booth behind the camera. Hehe

I would LOVE a shop like that. All I need is a cot in the corner. Not sure how the wife would like that, however ...

Red Dragon + Baltimore= Chad's former wagon. At least that's the way I looked at it.

That's a nifty tank right there. I wonder how much of a market you'd have selling a similar one for a sedan -- there's many more sedans than wagons.

Does anything know any awesome body kits for these things? The car is going to be murdered out completely with better wheels. Would love to do it right since it is getting painted. This is NOT a restoration..

Here's what one guy did:

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/vintage-mercedes/351996-panzzer-ss-aero-package-installation.html

He's banned again right now, but I think you can reach him via e-mail on the forum if you want to.

If you do end up reading through the thread, I would just like to clarify that I have paid for my 'Benzes with my own money .
