MB750's MKIV Roadster build thread

Merry Christmas to me!





Doing inventory now. It's going...... interestingly. So far, no tail lights and twice the door latch equipment than I need and I'm only on box 6. Is this normal?

My back is going to be killing me tonight though. Bent over slightly going thru all these boxes is taking its toll.

Door latches are the last remaining item on my POL list. Send me your spare set! LOL

Completely normal.

I hate dead space, especially since I've got a lot of stuff to store, so I rigged up this "shelf" inside the body to hold the doors, hood, trunk, and all the aluminum I take off the chassis:





Tomorrow I'll work on the aluminum. Enough for one day:

I'm pretty familiar with these bodies and would like to make a suggestion...or warning. The way you have your straps they are flexing the body inward across the wheel openings. Your shelf (which is clever!) is exacerbating that with it's additional weight pulling on the straps. I'd feel a lot better if you ran a 2x4 across the wheel openings and then hooked the straps on the ends of those. You could suspend the "shelf" from these. If done this way the body would just be held up in a relaxed state without any pressure flexing it inward.

Good luck,
Jeff
