My father bought a W115 1976 Mercedes 300D and picked it up in Stuttgart...after driving it all over Europe...he sent it vack to Canada...he kept it until he died in 2006...I have owned a few W123 Benzes as well...I currently have a 1977 300D that is very close to the one in this video in terms of "clean" although it is hard to match "California clean"....

@theinnovationhandyman 5 ай бұрын
Yes. I used a custom billet aluminum adjustable shifter made for front wheel drive street racing cars and put it in facing to the rear. Then I had custom cables made and welded a bracket to the top of the transmission shift box.

If you don’t mind me asking how come you didn’t sandblast the body and epoxy it before mounting, it would have saved you a lot of prep

Good question. I needed to do a pre painting fitting. Do all my adjustments and welding then sandblast , epoxy primer and painting off the frame then final assembly. Keeps the frame and all the components from getting fouled with sand and paint

ICE guy, how many times did your EV friends vehemently assert something verifiably false about ICE cars? Zero. How many times did ICE guy vehemently assert something verifiably false about EVs? Every time he said anything about EVs. Get some training & expertise, dude. Or at least, know what you don’t know and ask questions and listen instead of asserting falsehoods. I his defense, he did make some progress in changing his opinion based on new information over the course of the day, something most people are too egotistical to do. That was admirable. “It’s easier to fool a man than it is to convince him that he’s been fooled.”-Samuel Clemens (I think?). Fun video, thanks.

I’ve found an FC170 that I’m considering doing the same kind of thing to. I was thinking of the steering and wondering why the steering box out of one of those cab over commercial Isuzu trucks or something like that wouldn’t work. Just curious if you looked into anything like that. That system that you are using I’d worry about that steer clear box getting damaged somehow the way it’s mounted. I think that project is so cool… I love those old FC’s.
@theinnovationhandyman 9 ай бұрын
I think your solution can work. You’d need to match the pump pressure to the steering gear box. You are right the steer clear is exposed on my solution
