Mercedes Benz 560SL convertible

[frizzen]

I ran across this Mercedes Benz 560SL and kinda liked it enough to bring it home, but i wasn't *really* feeling it at first.





Gold rims & grille aren't my style. Same with pastels, convertibles, and non-racecar product placement stickers. (Canada Dry hood logo?)

Then a couple random videos made me rethink things a little. It's got a good base with room to grow, and i think i see what the car wants to become.

Plus i've seen plenty of high-risers with candy company stickering. So it WILL be getting weird. But i think you'll like where it's actually going...

Then tearing into it, i found out this has the strangest RC chassis i've ever run across! It's originally Differential thrust Front-wheel drive, with a spring for steering centering? We can fix it.

Got some parts from far overseas

Could i get a title edit? "560SL" to "560 SEC"
This is a W126 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC instead of a Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, because i don't understand cars with "robot names" no matter who makes them.
