    Thanks for the compliments guys.

    Tom I welded 5/16" flatstock vertically on the original mounts that bolt to the frame. I think they were 2" wide. Drilled matching holes in the flat stock and bolted them on....really pretty easy.

    Hope you and your Merc are doing well;)

    Love that car Jim, always have, always will! You NEED to post a video with sound up though, I have always wondered what that little bugger sounds like.

    Thanks UnIOnVilleHaunt that's on my list but the weather is not good at this time. According to the Intuit.com people it can be added to the website. Need to put my grandson in the passenger seat and take a ride.

    Building the site was easy but transferring the domain name was a bitch; took a week to transfer from GoDaddy.com.

    Nice Clean Merc,
    Ditto on the video more pics too!
    How about making it so the pics open up bigger in another window.

    One more thing Jim...do you see a chance to take a front and rear shot of your Merc,both dead-on,so I can compare these pics with some pics of a stocker to find out what difference the lowered bumpers visually make ? Would be GREATLY appreciated !

    Tom the weather here is pretty nasty. If we get a nice day I'll back her out of the shop and take some photos and e-mal to you. For now the only pic's I have are on the second page of the website (front view of grille and trunk)

    Thanks much Jim ! I already checked out the other pics on your site but they don't exactly show what I'd like to see.I also could take some pics of my Merc and photoshop the bumpers but problem is the whole front section is disassembled.So I pray for better weather in West Union ! And sorry for hijacking your post,hope you and the others don't mind.Thanks again Jim !

    Just messing with you,hahaha! I'll check it out and give you my "critique"....

    That's really cool!!!! Great pic's. How about some better pic's of the interior? Love to see the dash and doorpanels. Car is VERY well put together. HUGE thumbs up buddy...

    You're a very trusting fellow, listing your address and phone number...on a webiste that's available to millions of people, including that unsavory element in your home town...you should really give them a road map as well...

    Just my 13 cents worth even tho you didn't ask for it...!!!!

    PS...nice Merc...

    Great job on the site and the car but I was just about to click reply and comment on removing your personal info when I saw the other posts on the subject. As someone who has done a little web design, I strongly suggest that you get that info off there.
