thanks, I'll check it out, any idea what year they used it??

The code is 92T/X1 or 92U/X1 The color goes back to 1998 and is in my 2003 color books . Looks to be nice Silver..

thanks, I'll check it out, any idea how to get the bow out of an aftermarket hood? I've got it close but it still sticks up about 1/8- almost a 1/4 inch next to the fenders-Chris

Did you try to adjust the hinges to lower the hood?? If you did this and it still to high we use a block of wood usually a 12 inch 2x4. If you lay the 2x4 along the "EDGE" and use a heavy mallet you should be able to take the bow out .. You should'nt have to hit the 2x4 hard just a few lite blows should do it .. The key is to keep the 2x4 along the edge you won't do any damage to the hood as long as its on the edge.

sweet, I'll give it a try, I adjusted the hinges down till the rear corners were too low..I knew a 2x4 would be involved somewhere, I just didn't know the right technique- Thanks- chris

Lines look great Chris. I tossed back and forth, black silver black silver. I think silver is a great choice. I've always liked Mercedes Benz Iridium Silver. I've also really liked this build and color by Travis B. The cars on this site are a great inspiration.

Thanks Lenie, can't wait to see your car!! Yes I love the Mercedes silvers and that's kind of the direction I've been going. did you get the car home yet?

Looks good Chris.

Very Nice
