Undertaking a new project today. We'll call it project Wicked Wagon.

Sneak peek pics.

No kidding, sneak peek pics, they're TINY!! Haha I am excited to see the work you guys do!

Eliot

As pointed out you might want to double check your images.

Bigpete123

and how 'bout you tell us some of your plans?!? I'm excited because when these wagons are done right, they are so unique!

Willkommen to ze klub.

Do post your idears. I know you love those mb v8's, tell me you are going m119

Chappy

Ha ha....guys that's my new wagon in for a little 'treatment'. We're just getting started, and the necessary safety items will be checked and r/r as necessary. When those are sorted, we'll move on with some mods.

Still debating on whether to keep on switch out the chrome 8-holers lol....

EDIT: No V8 in this guy....plus, I have no plans to try to make an AMG clone. My CLK55 handles the performance duties in our house.

mbenzman

Nice pics, no mistake - they ARE sneak peeks.(clicky=nothing)

Now that the boss is on board, here's the real ones.

Chappy

Like my homemade sign?

mbenzman

I like your wheels betta!Surprised? I luv to play.

mbenzman

Apparently, the low mileage is due to the car sitting in spider habitat.
Officials from the state of Florida called and said they're coming to take your car back down there because of a rare spider living in the r/r wheel well last night. They have to return the car and hence the spider back to it's natural habitat.

So I stepped on it and told them it already had passed away due to the extreme pressure of stuffing 245's into those wheel wells. Your welcome.

BTW the price is right on those wheels!

Chappy

Do the wheels rub at all?

ZedStyle

that parking lot looks so familiar...

mbenzman

It's the hang out for a number of mean benz's, yours too. Here's Rooney's, and I checked No Rooney in the trunk, just Keystone Light.

ZorroAMG

LOL...Mbenzman seems to be taking care of alll the ATL people! Nice work..the mono II's look good....a little SUV'ish at the moment but that will probably change, right?

Chappy

Abso-freakin'-lutely! It needs a drop and is 'on the list', after all the other safety checks and repairs are done. It has been well-maintained, but needs some things to be an excellent driver for me, as I anticipated for a car with over 100K miles. Fluid changes, brake pads, new harnesses, and a list of other cosmetic fixes will be addressed prior to it being sent to the tint shop.

EDIT: Did I mention I was picky?

When the keys get handed back to me, I'll be ready to roll for a good while.

rooney2006

oh yeah, lol. i forgot that last guy. keystone = my cheap beer of choice.

Chappy

More pics please.

mbenzman

Sorry, I don't have any more of Rooney's car right now.

I'll have to post some pics of yours instead. OK?

myfirstbenz

hmmm, all black perhaps?

Chappy

No plans for paint work at the moment (during Round 1).

myfirstbenz

All black would be sick, we could continue the Star Wars theme too Shadow has the storm trooper and you could have the Darth Vader Kombi

P.S. No, I am not a Star Wars geek

Chappy

lol....I've decided to give mbenzman some artistic license with the car and he convinced me to let him spray/tint the yellow and reverse portions of the tail lights. He's also working on some other ideas....

Tint shop will have the car tomorrow or Friday.

Chappy

Oh, and 500E brakes!

mbenzman

Better watch out, the artistic police issued a warrant for my arrest and are trying to revoke my artistic license.

They almost caught with this weapon.



Next pic, applying some artistic pressure on the fenders to convince them that they will like these AMG wheels and 245's .

ZorroAMG

I have the Darth Sedan, Chappy NEEEEEDS to do a Darth Kombi!!

mbenzman, are you rolling the lip or are you also pulling out the fenders a bit?

I'm excited to see this!!
