Don, the way I see it hot rodding is like everything else. Eventually every thing old is new again!! A friend of mine was picking on me at coffee the other day about why I never "flame" any cars. I told him I did flames when they were in vogue the first time, and I don't have to do them again !! Also put an electric sun roof in a '37 chebbie. Think it was from a Saab. One switch ran the metal cover back, the other switch opened the glass part. Thought it was kind of cool at the time. Anyway I'm sure all of the trends will be back in style eventually.
When I start back with the MB teardown, I'm gonna remove the entire roof section, it has a power moon roof in it ( no glass window ), and the motor and E crank ( operated with stock tire iron for times when motor failes ) the motor and crank is mounted in the trunk.
