1965 Mercedes styling meets brutal AMG performance. The 230SL hyperbuild is taking shape, and the fabrication required to mate this hand-fabricated chassis with an AMG 55 drivetrain is next level.
The latest push was all about packaging and tight clearances. Our Fabrication Specialist Erick has been fabricating and fitting the upper firewall, which includes a recess for the hood hinges. After shifting the engine's final resting place slightly to optimize what little space is available, Erick test-fitted parts of the exhaust and the necessary cooling equipment to ensure everything still fits. The puzzle pieces are slowly but surely coming together.
