Yes he does.  I watched a video on a different youtube channel
interviewing this guy.  Since hoovie came along, the wizard shop is
really just a video production show first, who happens to also work on
cars.  He talks about they basically fit cars in here and there between
making the videos, but the videos is their primary business.

Yes he does.  I watched a video on a different youtube channel

really just a video production show first, who happens to also work on

Re: [MBZ] Lathes?

2021-12-21 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes

It is the way to go if you want a huge old industrial lathe or milling 
machine.
You might also want to look at shapers. They were sort of the 
predecessor of the milling machine and are not considered to be 
financially viable anymore because they are slower than a milling 
machine but they should work fine for a hobbyist.

Re: [MBZ] Trio of haulers

2021-12-21 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes

I have no interest in a hearse but a Cadillac sedan might be OK. My wife 
and I attended the funeral of a friend and there was insufficient 
parking near the building so we were directed to park in the cemetery 
across the road from the building. The funeral home folks were ferrying 
people to and from their cars to the building. They picked us up in a 
very nice black Cadillac 4 door sedan. Black leather interior etc. We 
did not go very far or very fast but it struck me as a very quiet and 
smooth vehicle and pretty classy to boot. I could live with one of 
those. I don't recall what year but old enough that they don't make them 
any more.

Not half bad.  Uncracked dash is a big plus; seat bottom replacement is an

Re: [MBZ] Single family owned Basket case

$4700 might not be unrealistic, the car looks fairly unmolested but 
obviously is showing its age.


This guy's comment kinda says it all, fix what needs to be fixed to turn 
it into a runner and to deal with the obvious really ratty aspects, 
throw a few $k at it and have some fun.  I see a coupla cars of about 
this vintage running around here, they look similar to that one, and the 
owners just drive and enjoy them

Speaking from a few years experience in body shops, I don’t think there 
are any huge challenges to making this into a driveable decent-looking 
vehicle. Understand, I am NOT talking about “restoration,” which in my 
opinion is often a name for vacuuming all the cash out of your wallet 
and savings account. In other words, my preference would be to find any 
actually rusted-through floor holes, and weld patches on, rather than 
finding an expensive pristine floor section and replacing the whole 
thing. And so forth. Same with the paint job. I myself would not 
completely strip this car, where there is fairly sound paint I would 
just sand, prime, seal, paint. More work where the paint has gotten so 
thin there is surface rust, of course. BTW, I think that floor rust is 
from years of the top leaking maybe while it was still being driven, 
possibly never garaged when it was being driven. Doesn’t take a very big 
leak, the floor mats will hold even a small amount of rain water a long 
time and rust that floor.


But first questions first: I have not found in any of the comments or in 
the description whether this car is, right now, in running and driving 
condition. There are lists of things that have been replaced, like 
radiator, power steering pump, etc. etc. but does that mean this car is 
currently capable of starting and driving down the street, stopping, 
turning a corner, returning to where you started? If so, great! Someone 
needs to buy this and make a nice looking car out of it. Patina? Naw. 
Not me. I want shiny new paint and a sparkling white top and a nice 
interior.


But of course, Buyer gets to make all those decisions as THEY prefer. 
GLWTA!!

[MBZ] 450SL C with potential

Has the usual issues of peeling paint on the 2 rear louvers and cracked
console wood, but the interior is clean and not much rust.  Could be a
manageable restoration and potential flip in a couple years if selling
price is $9k or less.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-mercedes-benz-450slc-15/

I did a complete resto on my '78 SL C (same color combo).  Took a couple
years to de-rust/paint and restore the interior to near concours
condition.  It gradually deteriorated until my son totaled it.

> Were you cruising at speed, or slogging slow speed in snow?

Cruising in traffic knot behind plows at first.  As we approached the
exit the dash lights got even dimmer and lots more warnings started
showing up, dimly, on the dash display.  I was 'coasting' as far as
I could towards that last exit, hoping we could make it off the freeway.
It went much farther than I thought it should on 'no power', and when
I put it in neutral I felt it jerk and stop pushing, so I quickly pulled it back
into gear again. I had thought the engine had died, but it hadn't, quite.  
We off-idled the rest of the way, at walking speed, blew through the stop
sign at the end of the ramp and rolled into a parking place at the $50,000
silver dollar bar there at the exit.  Pissed off quite a few truckers etc. as
we rolling road-blocked our way to safety.

Really, quite _quite_ lucky, all things considered.

Were you cruising at speed, or slogging slow speed in snow?

One morning my 2003 ML350 seemed to crank slower than normal (battery

10 miles later I notice the wipers are going slow and turn the 
headlights off. Another ten miles or so and the dash lights up like a 
Christmas tree. I'm now in a very bad place to pull over on the 
shoulder. Then a mile or two later it slowed down, then again to 40 in a 
mile. By the time I got to a ramp it was doing exactly 20 and I pulled 
over mid-ramp figuring it wouldn't let me go to a parking lot. After I 
stopped it wouldn't let me take it out of park, we had to jump it to 
roll it on the flatbed.


A year later, the tensioner pulley exploded ten miles from home. I drove 
it five miles to the tow truck depot with no belt, lights were a little 
dim and the temp went up a little. Could have driven it home but didn't 
want to chance it. That pulley felt fine less than 1000 miles earlier 
when I replaced the alternator.

> 50 miles with no headlights maybe.

It was closer to 5.  Puking engine at the end was pushing it barely faster
than we would have been able to, on dry pavement.  Which it wasn't.
The plows were out and the snow was coming down...

Heat had stopped.  We're on our way soon to retrieve the car... if we can!

I bid $875 on a clean title a few years back, had to bring 1220 or so in 
money orders to claim it. They don't take cash for debts over $400, and 
charge through the nose for credit cards. Tax and title was less than 
$100 of the total. In addition to the buyer paying the commission, 
there's a $29 bidding fee, a $59 fee for picking it up...

You have a business account?

Would need to look underneath to see what kind of rust it has. Seems high but 
does look nice. “Bullet proof”!
