Great job mate. Throughout the GT40 job I thought to myself you really need to be applying your level of detail from a day 1 build not fixing others issues. Really excited to see your take on the gullwing. I hope to see you channel continue to grow and help financially on your project. Enjoy !!
Hi! Looking forward to your build! I would love to do one of these, but I need to finish a couple other builds!!! (Countach, Lotus S3 Turbo Esprit, and a very special F-car). I don’t have a channel yet
Did the previous owner of the SLK know you were embarking on cutting up the car to make your project. I ask because I built a Lomax in the 1990s which is based on a 2CV. The lady I purchased the 2CV donor from was delighted to know I was going to look after her car.
Erm no! I got caught a few years ago when I admitted to a seller I was planning to chop up some very rare parts for an old project car, he then refused to sell them to me! haha. I now keep my mouth shut! LOL
Fantastic progress Andrew. Cannot wait to see the body in the garage. How do you know exactly where to cut on the SLK and what to remove and what to keep? Does the manufacturer of the body give you a manual or guide?
No I did, and I get that there are helpful hints from other builders, but was just wondering because I see so many different manufacturers of bodies, and was wondering, as I am sure they are not all 100% the same. I watched the series from Notjustcampers and it seemed as if they just had to make up structure and cut away blindly as they went along. I guess the interior structure for the body is then also just a measure, cut and weld until you get it right kind of deal without any reference from the manufacturer. Looking forward to this build though 👍🏼
@@GSAPilot Oh fair play I apologize :-) it really is just that, chop abit, chop abit more until the body sits correctly, I've just managed to get a head start in following what others have done before me as their are no instructions. In a couple videos time all being well I'll be starting the inner structure for the body to start to marry the SLK and body together
You can always pick up some side cash working in a chop shop. You seem a natural. Almost seems a shame to cut up such a clean car but that definitely the best to start with. Really looking forward to the progress. Nice new logo too!
Looks like a fun project. Can’t wait to see more!
Lovin' this 😃
Great progress Andrew. Looking forward to seeing the body for the first time.
came for the gt40, staying for your fabrication journy

Haha, you clearly didn't watch to the end of the video! ;-)

Have you looked at a 68 mustang fuel tank. Easy to integrate into a boot floor
Great video, but those numberplates up the stairs are really distracting!
