I can't decide which one is more drool worthy!

The 300ce looks absolutely flawless Ed. It is quite something to bring your dream to reality in such an exacting fashion. Absolutely stunning.

Can we please get some videos of it? I can't wait to see it roll or hear it in action!

Gorgeous pair

I think the best part is that it doesn't look aftermarket, the design is so good it looks like it came from the factory like that.

"Project" redefined! And a very matching plate number. Would be keen to know how it drives.

"Drives" like it just rolled out of AMG in 1988...
No tire rubbing, zero wheel to chassis interference, flat cornering with the H&R Sports/Bilstein HD's/front and rear strut-shock tower braces...and the twin turbos seem even better then before. Start spooling under 2K RPM and push you back in the seat...

I did a great deal of planning and design and along with impeccable execution by the bodyman/painter assured a great final result.

It was built to be a reliable, practical "driver"...owned it since new in May of 1988, only 68K miles and intend to keep it until I take the final dirt nap !!!

Perfect! Congrats on realizing your vision; so many of us never do.

Now, back to your grey s600 grill you asked me to remind you about. Ever find it in your parts bin?

Ed,

Congratulations - the wide body looks fantastic.

I know what it's like to go through such a lengthy WB build & I hope you are able to enjoy it more than I have mine!

I've been meaning to PM you to ask if all is OK 'post Sandy' as I saw Rehoboth was on her path... I guess this thread confirms all is well.

Enjoy in good health Ed.

Very lucky with Sandy...it hit the N.J. coast about 40 miles North East of here...had about ten inches of rain, no real wind and the tide change pulled all the water back where it came from !!!

Are you driving your car or concentrating on the Porsche ?
