Post Updates on the Chop Top 250SE project

Hey guys, thought I would keep you posted on the progress of my project.

Finally the car is at the body shop. Hollywood Hot Rods finally finished fabricating and trimming the chrome trims around the windows and fabricating a new front bumper that will have recessed foglights inside. Now it is time for paint. It will be painted Mercedes-Benz Almandinschwarz Metallic , Color Code: 182 See the pic of the S class attached. The shop will close all the door and trunk handle holes for door poppers to be installed afterwards. After the paint it will go back to Hollywood Hotrods for door popper and air ride installation. Then it will go to MBZ motors in Woodland Hills, CA (my mechanic, one of the best in the country) for engine and transmission recondition and dress up. Then the whole car will be assambled and ready for interior....
