Mercedes Bent 600/190SL

A lot of attention at SEMA seems to be directed at this very interesting SL Merc, and rightly so. A modern SL600 mated with an oldschool 190SL, meticulously grafted together by Hot Rods & Custom Stuff. A quick Google search of their business name brought me to their website, and like most of the top builders in the US, they have dedicated galleries for each of their projects, so head on down to the bottom of the post to find the link.

  1. the 20 inch wheels were a necessity because of the size of the brakes on the car. it has 16 inch rotors on the front and 20 inch is the smallest wheel that would clear them.

  2. incredible story!!
