A man of few words, Piper simply says, “The whole problem was putting a smaller body on a larger car,” and hopes I'll intuit the rest. The bodywork was carefully cut off the C63 from top to bottom to retain as much of the newer car as possible. The remaining chassis was shortened (by about 100mm) and narrowed to fit into a jig that would support a 190 body and fender flares. A surprisingly small amount of cutting had to be done—the two cars shared remarkable similarities and were very close dimensionally, with much of the C63’s additional width in the doors. A giant support frame was tack-welded to the 190E bodywork to keep it rigid as it was cut off. Finally, the two could be merged.
