Mercedes 108 custom
The Concept
    This page is constructed to show the progress on the mercedes I am customizing.  The car is a 1968 250S that has seen it's better days.  I aquired the car from a family in Martinsville, IN who dragged the car from the woods.  They had always planned on working on it but never got around to it so they sold it to me.
      Since then, It's been completely gutted and she's a much happier car now that the bodywork has commenced. 
    
                          
           Drivetrain   
     I plan to do a completely custom mercedes.  The car will have an american V8.  Probably a small block Chevy.  The transmission will also most likely be a manual chevy.

                             
Chopped and Sectioned
    My most drastic customizing comes in the bodywork.  I plan a 2 inch sectioning of the body and a 3 inch chopped top.  This will lower the car's profile overall but also eliminate the body line where the side trim goes changing the car's appearance dramatically. 
     The bumpers will also be shortened along the length of the car.  the backglass will also be filled with steel and painted and the "fins" on the trunk will get a slight exagerated look.
