If you need anything that is no longer in one of the pictures below make me an offer. Stock hood is also going. Local pick up in Santa Ana, CA for small stuff...willing to ship if its worth it. A/C and other non essentials avaiable as well as the half cage, door panels, etc.
I'd like to see the finished product. where are you planning to run the car?
Primarily within the SoCal circuit but would like to check out all the tracks in the US eventually...except Laguna Seca....car is way too loud for that track....lol.

Just curious...you joking about the noise level thing? I've been there plenty of time and have heard plenty of ear deafening cars.
Couldn't you have done this to a far cheaper car...?
Like say a c300 and swapped an engine and everything else from a wrecked one? Yes the overall cost may be near the same, but you took a C63 off the streets just to race it. lol (unless of course this was a wrecked C63 before your build, in which case, great repurposing efforts!)
Kinda like those who sky dive. Never could understood jumping out of a perfectly good plane........
At any rate, this is a really interesting build. Good luck to you man and be safe.
I gotta admit, my heart dropped when I saw your C63 pictures with the car Frankensteined. But, you obviously have the coin, a plan, and a serious scratch to itch in a racing hobby.

...Because race car....
Hahahah what's going on brother, I thought I'd find you on here eventually. This is Charles from SCCA. I keep saying it, but I really can't wait to see the finished product, especially the roof.
By the way, did you watch as they removed the dash? I've been looking for help removing the instrument cluster bezel and surrounding black plastic. Need to get to a bug that crawled in my speedometer and died. Any idea how to get in there?
awesome work, really cool to see one of these turned into a track car. Im sure if you try hard enough you can probably drop close to 1klbs.
It's not like c63's are the rarest of amg's. Nothing wrong with re-purposing and making it live it's life full throttle all the time. I added you on ig to watch the progress too.

Half joking. I would love to run the track but there is a section where you can't be above certain noise decibels that I know I am way north of. I guess you can ease up in that section but who the hell wants to do that especially in a competitive event.
Pretty sure Wiestec got blacked flagged for noise at an event recently....

LOL First of all I was very close to finishing my AFF Certification as in Accelerated Free Fall i.e. Skydiving back in the day....lol.
Sorry man but this was a brand new C63 Coupe with the developmental package and a great foundation for a race car. My daily is a 700WHP/830WTQ 2012 CLS.... I like doing things that shouldn't be done...its as simple as that.
Thank you for the well wishes...

Amen but I think 1000 may be a little aggressive but damn 2800lbs would be amazing. I think that's where the V8 Superstars car sits and the whole body is CF. I'll take 3000-3200 thought.
