    What an Excellent Adventure
    Kevan your workmanship is fabulous. I just spent a couple hrs reading this tread. My friend has a 40 that his dad bought new. He restored it about 6 yrs ago. If I showed him all the Merc's your making look right, he'd have a coronary.

    Kevan, after reading this tread last night a product came back to my memory that you might want to try on your Caddy Sombreros.This stuff is PERMANENT. Non structural steel, alum, FRP panels. it takes a special mixing gun.

    This car is nothing short of perfect! Awesome build Kevan!
    Reno I´m happy you´re finally getting the car of your dreams! When we first met in 2003 or so, you were talking about your chopped Merc you´ll have once, here you are, hahaha, you really deserve it!
    Take care , my friend!
