Completed Projects
Mercedes Benz 300SL ‘Gullwing’
A selective restoration performed on a recent, willing candidate.
Show time
The car made it to the launch just in time. What a beautiful example.
Delivery
After re-assembly, the car is loaded onto the trailer to deliver it to the ‘unveiling’.
Ready for paint
Here is the 300SL going through the paint process.
Fabrication
Delicate parts, such as the metal trim pieces, require custom fabricated jigs to restore their factory dimensions.
Bright work
During the process many pieces were polished or plated to their original finish. Here are the door latches.
Interior
The interior was removed and selectively restored to preserve it’s integrity. Original gages were rebuilt with original parts, refurbished on site. (the dash clock is shown)
Disassembly
All relevant parts were removed and assessed for refinishing. The whole car, including the doors, were stripped to bare metal.
Aquisition
The 300SL arrived in a great shade of silver that, while not original to this particular car, certainly looked good from 50 feet. Next steps will be assessment, dis-assembly, re-finishing, and re-assembly.
