the body work is astounding! so many long, straight sections and they look pretty smooth and even to me!

Yep; 200 + hours according to the body shop owner...

he probably did not appreciate the volume of fabrication that was going to be needed...

sills, rocker panels, trunk floor, interior floor, work on the front fenders and the leading edges of the roof on both sides...

I believe we got more than we paid for!

I have a strong memory of riding in the backseat of one of these Merc's as a youth to/from little league game or practice with another kid from our town. When his Dad put down the back glass and the breeze whipped through, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Enjoy the car - Dad and Son!

Looks great, glad to see it didn't get stuck in bodyshop jail.
