    ...just started full resto of a 67 fastback..61 Vette frame off..61 vette frame on and ditching the drag fenders on the 1/4s

    Those early merc are my favorites and your looks really great. Especially love that flat black paint.
    Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

    Merc looks great, love the toothy grille too. I agree the whitewalls and rims fit the look of the car better than the mags, but you say you are changing that anyways.

    Couple of very nice cars you have.
