- This is the longest video I've ever made, Full build start to finish. Kit fabrication, custom front lip, adapting the rear spoiler, exhaust, wheels and tires, suspension, interior, paint, livery, test driving, and even the trip to show it to my uncle who inspired this build. I hope this video entertains and motivates you to build what's in your head. This car came out awesome and is a blast to drive. When posting this the car is for sale to benefit Team Gleason which is a charity that I talk about in the video. The link is below this text. ENJOY!

This was amazing! This video hit close to home on many levels. I'm a big SL500 fan, and I'm doing a rolling restoration on one now. You put a lot of work into that car making it completely one of a kind. And the fact that you're auctioning it off and donating the proceeds to a great cause is a very selfless act. I lost my mother to ALS and it's one of the most horrible diseases out there. Much love to you and your family, as well as your uncle's.
I love everything about that car you BUILT (OFFICIAL)!
perfect timing bro i got 3 hours left on my upload and now i can enjoy tf outta the next 2 ... peace n love fam keep it rad stay safe and build on my brotha..... l8z
Wait. Woah. James from donut!? Dude. Amazing
Dude you are a scholar and a gentleman 👏
Congratulations for the work !! Very good restoration ...I like ...
Hey Man Mad Respect to you thank you for donating your time and Car its a awesome thing to do
Bro, silver with black accents would've looked amazing rather than that yellow stripe down the middle. Great low-budget build, all in all.
Man the fitment of this kit came out pretty rough.. I like the livery tho.. Looks good from a distance.
That after exhaust was 🔥 money!!!
I am gonna hate on this
First, I admire the dedication for you bringing awareness to your cause, it takes a real man to pull this off
The SL is the most perfect car. It just need some AMG rims and call it good.
You figured out a way to turn a SL into a Nissan 240 sx held together with zip ties and painted by a guy that owes you money.
You should focus your energy on building cars the people actually aspire to own. I am talking Bucket list type of cars. Ask your self, Will your creations hold the test of times or will it be traded again for another project and that SL will find itself in the junkyard and a few years? If that’s the case, than you are destroying and not creating.
Awesome work!
Great! And so a lot of new stuff to learn. Always wanted to try doing wide body and bumpers for some rides but it never went further than just a design. Maybe gonna find me some customer this summer.
much love brother
Goodman well done u come long way the car really nice looks good don't be knocking ur self ur doing really well and video s are top class
Cool video!!👏
Great work bro awesome video I picked up lots of tips and tricks thanks for explaining all the little details 👌
Keep doing exactly this.
Great video, great build!

Man you have come a long way dude keep it up...
O U T S T A N D I N G
Gon just outoplay your channel to get you some views, glad you're back and hope you and your beautiful family is well mate. Stay strong.
let me sleep on your barn couch
Oh BTW there is that same self cuting tape by that brand that is called a bridge tape or somehow like that. Base material is wider so you put it along the gap and when your vinyl is on you don't need a scalpel.
Its only bad to cut springs that change in size. If its the same width all the way down its fine. Back in the day I had friends who rode on cut springs for YEARS and never had an issue.
except a sore back as the ride is like a truck .
I csnt believe the person who made this video is considering quitting forever. We cant let that happen
Nevermind he posted twice already since lol
Bro, seeing James before Donut lol
Bro its the guy from Donut Media, No way!!
we pretty much use the exact same techniques. Id be interested to see how it holds up specifically the widebody to see if there's any cracks that form over time. Great job showing the whole process and detailed explanations.
Где то в душе йокнул Безумный Макс
Anybody knows where Kaleb is??
For the algorithm 👍
Idk why but I like the stock sound better but that's just imo
whew saw a silver arrow in the thumbnail like noooooo 😂
Me and Louis Steverson from Decatur created HAMMERED & CAMBERED. We'd like to do a build profile on you for our Facebook page. Let us know. You kill it.
Sorry if I missed it but what were the fenders from
Woah. I though James looked familiar when he started popping up in Donut vids. This movie of a video finally helped me place it.
Justin ( James’ twin brother) is actually the one on Donut.
@@justinbeigh75 mind blown… I didn’t even catch the different first name thing. Their voices are so similar.
@@cameronemmart7215 I have met James in person and it still blows me away how similar they are!! Lol
Haha yeah I'm James. Justin my twin is on donut media
Was wondering do you guys do work for customer?
Link for purchase?
Reverse car onto trailer no more double tire blowout crap
Needs the handles and BENZ emblems black ⚫️ 😎
Is it Saturday?!
Poor Benz. Looks like a piece of selfmade crap.
More Fatsun

Es lo más mersa que he visto en mi vida/// It's the worst taste I've ever seen in my life.
I don't now wat you don't let it one color
Bama 256
That's why I hate Mcpherson. One of the reasons. So much pain in that story with the hood and the fender edge
I was waiting for him to go on track or something with it, I didn’t see nun of that
Why accidentally blow up something that you are trying to raise money for a good cause with?
😂So Bad
This whole video is filled with nothing but bad information 2in spacers cutting Springs. if you're broke just leave your car stock
Again, just massively lacking attention to detail.
Good effort as always, but it’s so disappointing to see the amount of corners cut to just throw it together rather than just taking the extra time to make things fit properly.
How embarrassing is this engineering... A wide body care with only a 265/45/18 wheel...
Wide body should have 345/30/19 Nitto Invo Tires!!! Just saying...
Wow your work is simple but very good, I also want to make fenders for my 1988 mercedes clk320 hard top, I will do what you did with your car 👏👏👏👏👏
it was bad you made it worst
That's one way to utterly ruin a car 😢
This car is laughable, every corner but possible and probably won’t make the journey to who ever buys this burden
bidding for the car has gotten up to 20k on eBay i guess people want the burden 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
@@danger-dan04 let’s see how this comment ages lol, give it a month before the ducktape body kit ends up on the side of a highway, I mean vinyl and drywall screws is literally holding the car together.
@@PK519 we'll see my friend. comments like yours don't really last the test of time. I saw a bunch of comments like these for the widebody audi wagon build he gave away a few years ago. that car is still running strong and the kit is still on it the current owner posts about it on facebook groups.
@@danger-dan04 it doesn’t change the fact they every corner possible was cut of all of them, my comment will for sure outlast the car hands down. There’s no debating that
@@PK519 you’re right it will last as a testament of how wrong you are! There is no (duct tape) on this car and if you paid close enough attention to the series of videos you would have heard him say and seen him take the screws out as he bonded the kit to the car!!! Also from what @dangerdan04 said the Audi is still going with the same body kit that was made. The Mr2 and Datsun wagon are still out there as well!! Plus it would be interesting to see you make your own kit and see how it turns out!
Poor car! I feel sorry for it!
