  1. Posting pictures, can be a hassle, after working on your project all night. Thanks for sharing your Mad Fabrication skills. Inspiration for the rest of us, to keep us going. Looks killer!!

    Pretty damn nice! The four doors may have just gone up in value.

    Ah... I see a BIG problem ahead!'
    No way in the world that you will be able to convince anybody that it was once a four door!!
    I highly recommend keeping pictures of the transformation in the glove box... else they will call you a liar.
    I would, too!
    Seriously, great job!
    Keep workin'

    This thread is exactly what I needed!!! So awesome that you posted this. Good work.
    I will likely be doing this to mine, except I have a set of coup doors.

    This thing is amazing. I really want to make my merc a 2 door. I already have a set of coupé doors, I think I am going to find another two door roof before I try to coupe it and chop it.

  25. Absolutely beautiful work.
    The way the body flows is the showcase of this Merc. Simplicity is key to this build, anything like a crazy grill or like wise would be a distraction. Dark and sinister is my point.
