this response is to the person in above frame who made a comment about the white xxxxx thing. thank you for your comments and your vehicles look lovely.
To each his own. I modified my SL tastefully, in my opinion; but I know for certain that concours purists would throw up in it. The "rollbars" above look to be well-crafted; I've never seen that done before. IF they had webbing, I'll bet it might make a good windscreen.
Certainly, there are differences between cultures and age groups on what consitutes "tasteful". Example: I thought that big 50-series meats and an L-88 hood scoop and a big fat stripe were tasteful, at the time (30 years ago) on my 1968 Camaro (when it held a mighty 230c.i. engine topped with a chrome air cleaner). BLECH! Now I find myself snickering at Honds Civics that put out about as much HP as my lawnmower with 4" diameter stainless steel fart cans on the back.

to strife2, 4 frames up commments, well said, and in short I think you are saying, "we agree to disagree" and thats what being able to access this web site is all about "CHOICE"! I still realize that a few people still have to be spoon-fed this concept , but hey, I got two comments and I just posted last week. I love it ( keep'em coming)
to cllis805,yes it is a free country, isn't that great,"O" by the way the pic of my mercedes rim showing on my preview page is just super imposed so don't let it confuse you in to thinking that it is a 42 inch rim, its just a 20 inch. technology is remarkable now a days ha. thanx for the comment
