1961 Mercedes 4X4 Build. K5 Blazer FRAME SWAP! Perfect Fit!??

[@Unc_Talks]

Vintage Benz owner approved. This is gonna live online forever in the Benz community, please take some good pics when its done. LOL

[@MrStacy1974]

I'm putting a manual 300ce together right now ,it's lowered with 500sl brakes and a turbo in it's future.

[@jojomorgan8556]

i love how this grates on the people who want to restore the car to 'concourse' level.... my brain says " !the car is too far gone for anything close to tbat! you'd spend 100 grand or more and still have something the concourse guys call 'A Junk Car' and it would be worth less than half of that fortune you spent. " but Puddin's " MUDcedes " will live on in both Mercedes Snob AND redneck mudding community lore forever. [ the f8rst group turning their noses up and calling it a ' travesty " and the rednecks calling it " the only mudding vehicle fit for a King and Queen" lmao ( ironically both groups are technically saying it belongs in the other group.)

I'm 72 years old , living on a pension but you brighten my life. I started working on my own vesicles at around 16. I wish I could work with someone like you as Bill does. Not to make money but to have fun in life. I wish I had the money to buy your merch and help support you and your sweet family. I do subscribe and watch every episode . Thank you for giving me and others something to look forward to watching and God bless you for your military service. P.S. Hot Rod reminds me of my granddaughter that I don't get to see. I understand you adopted her? You and your wife are what all people should aspire to be. Thank you and God Bless. Love Rev. Jeff.

I’m not the type of person to write a lot of comments, but this lifted Mercedes is awesome. I approved 100%.

[@brianyoung5262]

Build a winch cradle under the front to cover some of that up

From one Brian to another, this is the perfect idea! Pott county off road recovery!

Love how all of us grew up watching the power block on TV. Awesome build

Indeed!!!❤😂

Totally! That was the best part of Sunday!

[@outdoorhubbmx8741]

Is it just me or is the classical music with Puddin tearing down stuff super soothing and the most elegant thing in the world? I love it and it's super relaxing 😂

[@richarddean2414]

Skid plate going from edge to edge and down under the frame on the front would look sick. It's almost a mad max machine! Awesome build puddin

Mercedes owner here, This build is one of your best by far !! Keep on doing what you love, We will watch and enjoy.

[@bigbgarage]

Stop being concerned about what other people say about your greatness if they want something else to do, tell them to buy their own and do what they want to do with it. I’d never 4 wheel a car, but you totally nailed it. ❤

[@timvandermeulen7265]

My suggestion for the front is place a winch plate up there. The winch can fill in the space between the frame horns. Then some triangle tubes from bottom of frame horns up to the existing bumper. Very fun cool build!

[@johnnymack8442]

Who needs a frame rack. When you have a towrola!!

[@rogerpeter6859]

And a tree.

[@Memry-dq7ug]

I like to see you stay on this thing and complete it,or at least get it farther along. I’d also like to see you start on that van.

I’ve always thought these things looked good slammed, and I had hopes, but the “Monster Merc” is so much more fun. Run with that thing!

[@tanquerayandchronic5308]

I love it! Also, you need a drill press. I used to think that when you were in the old shop. I still think it would pay for itself by extending the life of the drill bits. Love the Mercedes! I need one!

Absolutely finish it! I'll be really interested to see how you hook everything up.

You’ve just made my inner child giggle with glee, this is why I keep coming back, every week. Thanks puddin

[@Coker-Time]

Lifted Benz Approved 💯❤️. Maybe just a simple front plate that attached to the two rails to hide underneath at the front. No need to extend the number or hide the wheels. Need to add covering panels in the back wheel arches for a nice clean look. Its the best uses of a truck bed behind Demo Matt’s Cuda Build. get it finished and go do a meet up at Desperado Ranch.

[@Jeepguy75]

Yessir. ! That’s all kinda of awesome! Skids and a bumper up front with some rock rails on the sides. Just too cool. Very Mad Max

[@solomonlynn7456]

Hello from the PNW! I'm only 52 years of age but I've found it much easier to square up a square body frame, damaged in the front, by slicing the top and bottom of the c-channel. This leaves only the vertical portion to be moved by BFH and welded. Its amazing how far a frame rail moves over distance.

[@Ottothegreat7]

I’m diggin’ that thing! I’ve been getting kinda bored with all the square body and get it running content.
