What you guys don't realize is that is how the real ones are actually built Surplus of old SECs laying around gave MB the cost cutting idea
 The above is an excerpt from the best selling book Band of Boozers, a heroic tale of ordinary alcoholics thrown together in an extraordinary time. Experience this harrowing Wino War II tale as only those that drank it can slurr.

I have to admit that is simply amazing. I would like to meet the guy that could panel beat that fender. With all the weird curves and angles that takes incredible skill. I would love to be that good. I am ok at the occasional door ding but that is incredible.I have only one problem with it. The engine bay.
Sheesh with all the money and effort put into it you would think they would spruce it up. My '65 mustang's engine bay is cleaner and i only have at most 10% invested in my car compared to what he has invested.
