Operation Dirty Penny - '75 Merc 240D

[CubbyChowder]

Now you're starting a wheel company?

[TeckniX]

so that's 3 more side-projects, when is SoWo again? :P

[dineno]

Finally started the wiring today. If I finish the trailer before I leave for SoWo I might just bring the Merc to cruise around in. Got around to breaking down the wheels as well. Still have 2 lips left to sell. I don't think I'll actually be running them anymore cause the first set for my wheel company goes into production next month. Teasers to follow.

Also picked up a VR6 to fab up a table for our booth down there.

So here's the way the supports for the seats ended up. Went with a much different design than OEM

So much character here keep up the outstanding work man!

Now I just need to get the damn thing finished so I can enjoy it!

Hey Chris- What's going on with our sale? I paid you for the 2 Hayashi lips & barrels on 3/26/15 and I haven't received anything to date. Now you're ducking my phone calls / emails yet I see update your thread daily.

WHAT'S THE DEAL MAN?

Hey, been waiting for my buddy to come dismount the tires. I'll just bring them to the local tire place and have them do cause it has been quite a while now that I think of it. Did you still want the other two barrels while I'm at it?

Welded some C channel to the bottom of the seats to mount to the sliders. Supports for the sliders are already welded into the car so I'll have to grab some pics of those tonight too

i imagine the rat royce pulling the streamliner and then dirty penny roles out at a show

and when you leave rat royce goes in and penny pulls it all

Copperized streamliner? I'll kill myself of excitement

EPICNESS OVERLOAD

[FowlerE30]

If you unloaded this Merc from a homemade airstream trailer there would be no end to fanboy's flooding in at shows. Thats sick.

[danielsahhhn]

pictures of your workshop brings me joy

[dineno]

Cover the trailer in riveted-on sheet aluminum and copper plate it. Go big or go home.










Actually, doing something like that to an Airstream trailer would be super badass...

I like the way you think, I've always wanted an airstream trailer too
