Honestly, that is one of the most amazing things I've seen in a while. I mean MB had a whole team working on the Vision SLR, this is just one dude!!

Anyone know what frame he started with? Looked like an older MB.

I agree that car looks pretty good, it does have some big body gap around the hood. But it looks like it has no heart under the hood, just a plasitic cover.

oh well

He probably did a better job than they're currently doing at the M-B plants.

Somewhere in the reading that a 560 SEC was used. Why can't you wait for the new SLK to come out and swap out the rims from the current SL? It's almost the same as the SLR

This guy deserves a lot of credit though
