I noticed that my Mercedes sits a little lower after it had about 3-4 foot of snow sitting on it with an inch of ice under that and the head and everything in the trunk ( bout 100 lbs togther ), but I had fun with that this summer too, when I had the '51 at my grandparents and I coulden't go down, I took the mercedes interior apart and put it back togther for fun ( still ain't put the glovebox back in yet though ), I also rotated all the tires for the heck of it and then I put some 15" 5 lug ford rims on the rear ( the mercedes lug nuts screw into the hub ( no studs ) so even though the bolt pattern was a little diffrent, they did fit cause of the lug setup, the car still sits like that with the wider 15" in the rear. I also had to dismantle the power antenne cause my dad wanted it for an auto pilot for our boat ( he's building 1 ) and he needed the motor and it was broken ne way, all the bands were shot and there were no arms cause they broke off. I'm still gonna put a American V6 in it in a year or 2 cause it's too nice to junk and 2 nice to let sit, I'm gonna finish the '51 first though.
