Dads C63 BS Sedan Conversion

Keith's transformation looks more hardcore and wider at the back and the rear door vents are going to make it look even more bada$$

Honestly, I have considered this option over and over but I love to road race and I'm concerned with the heat build up. When they get a few cars out there on the road circuit and they are doing well I may consider it again. However, I gotta pay to get this crazy project out of the body shop.

MUCH respect on this build, dad! Can't wait to see the finished product!
One question - are you going with the new ram air hood you designed or does the stock C63BS hood fit?

Build looks awesome btw, looking forward to see the final result!
PS: Why are the brakes so tiny in the back??

Guilty, It's a fake amg! he mentioned it before about the brakes.
Good eye,
The last time the car was out we were drag racing. I have to run the stock C300 rear brake rotor and calipers in order to get the smaller wheels on there. Giving away a simple drag racing tip for those paying attention.
The AMG brake package goes back on when we road race which is next.

It will have the new ram air hood.
Thats actually the hold up. IT would have been complete by now but they delivered the new hood yesterday and can get it done within a couple of days. The two rear doors required some minor tweaks so they are painting them when the hood is ready. All coming together this weekend or first of next week!!

I need your advise PLEASE. I ordered these new wheels gunmetal because I thought it would be something different and look good. However, thats not the case because the trim on the bumpers and side panels is gloss black as you can see. Do I have the wheels redone in satin black or gloss black? Which do you think will look better for car shows and pictures? I have other sets that are used for road racing and drag racing so these only get used for shows etc....
What do you recommend? GLOSS OR SATIN BLACK??

I would recommend Satin Black. Gloss would take away from the aggressiveness.
Do you think it will be done for the next Cars & Cafe' at the end of the month? Haven't seen you in a while.
Everything looks great!

^^ I agree with Gloss.
But in my opinion, if ur looking for a set of wheels for show, I would get smthin different than ur Forgestar F14, not enough bling. Lol ! I dunno, maybe something bigger with a deep dish in the rear.. Like all show, no go type of look.
