I am totally blown away they had the confidence to cut up a modern luxury car with all the wiring and subsystems etc. and mate it up like this. Heck just integrating those headlights sounds extremely difficult and requiring some very specialized knowledge of MB systems.
Its one thing to build a custom frame and drop a body onto it, that's been done many times, heck I've done it 3 times in my carport. But I'm really amazed when builders drop a body onto an existing unibody. Every time I"ve seen it done it looks incredibly difficult. There's a good youtube channel called Melomotive that is putting a Porsche 356 onto a 718 unibody and it looks soooo hard ! Kudos to these builders.
And for the record I'm digging the green Mercedes. Love the color love the execution but count me in as one who could do without the cheesy tacked on out of place wing.
