Nice looking setup, Chris. And ditto on what Steve said.

 

Thanks for the kind words ... while your opinion means more than most, I imagine you'd tell me it looks great under any circumstances cuz that's the kind of buddy you is

Now, in your case, the scatter-shield design would be much simpler. Essentially, it would be a lock for your wallet to shield you from scattering your money all over in a futile attempt to make your porch faster than Grip's CL65 !!!

 

I finally got the finished Scatter-shields this afternoon ... and I picked up the newly machined hardware from the plating shop yesterday. So it is just about shipping time. I was hoping the cost of the new hardware would be low enough so I could "eat it" and not be forced to raise the price AND ... it looks like that will be the case. So for those on the "List" the price will still be the original price I indicated ($85) and for those who want one later, the price will be $95. I will keep the list open until Monday, and then it will be closed (and the price goes to 95)

I still want to (and will) inspect and test fit them (every one) this weekend and I expect I will begin shipping on Monday.


Installation is a breeze, but my good friend Grip suggested I make a quick video of the install, so I will try to do that as well this weekend.




I will be contacting those on the list this weekend to confirm desire and make shipping arrangements, etc

Cheers,
Chris

 

can't wait

 

Calling or PM'ing? I can pm my address and paypal when ready.... YOU and I have to meet... That statement on "turn 4" is my exact attitude....lol Only when racin'.....well.... we will leave it there.... I love the new proposed shield for Steve's wallet.....as you would be doing him a huge favor.... There's Ebola and the dreaded Porschola disease... I don't know which is worse... both make you puke yellow.... OH, that was bad I know.... Sorry Steve.... I have my moments and I know you will get even....bump for the thread....

 

I will be mostly emailing (and Pm'ing for those whom I have no email for) ... Of, course, you have my number Doc, so you can call if you have any questions.

Let's try to go easy on Steve ... you know it's his chronic bad fortune that makes the rest of us feel so lucky

 

he and I are now just ole' truck drivers....we just don't know any better... What the hell else would we spend our money on.... I will call later this evening, as we are going out the door to dinner in a few..... bump for the rest of you....and I think you are two hours behind us.... My son is working in Irvine for the next few weeks... I don't know where you are, but if close....let me know...although packing something like this might get him inspected....lol

 

i have always been faster than grips cl65 just not faster than grip! wallet exploded on the last build. saving up the needed funds for the next phase, 800 rwhp and full standalone with the proefi. hope for a june trip to my builder in long island early July

doc if you ever stop trucking and go racing you could meet chris at our half mile events. (deep down he wants to convert from a cali guy to a redneck and move south!!)

 

+1 on Steve's porch being faster. That beast is trapping with AMX's crazy V8 XF. My lazy CL is only trapping 124 on its best days.

 

In any case, it sure is a beautiful car .... and it sounds like a million bucks (even though you don't even have half that much into it ... yet ) I am definitely gonna have to take that beast for a short spin next time I'm out there !

Cheers Buddy !

Chris

 

its yours anytime you want it. since anthony wrecked his ankle sat (cause he is askeerd of racing me next weekend!) ill just drive his car!

 

I was working on my SRT this weekend, I left it apart so I can install mine when it comes in. They look great Chris!

 

I just finished inspecting and test-fitting all of the scatter-shields and they are ready to go.

I uploaded an install video on U-tube that illustrates the simplicity of the install while clarifying some install details. if anyone has trouble viewing this, please let me know.

cheers,
Chris

 

Nice work as usual. Nothing like working on an AMG with another AMG in the background. Baller!

 

nice video chris. as an add on if you pull the rad fan out ( one plug 2 clips) it will make getting to the small bolts and the tensioner much easier

 

That is a good point Steve. however, since I have an IC reservoir mounted to my fan shroud (on both of the SLK32s), it doesn't make sense for me to pull the shroud.... But for others it may make it easier.

In any case, the whole install takes less than 5 minutes ...

 

The day ended sooner than I thought, so I will be contacting those on the list tomorrow.

Cheers,
Chris

 

Paid for me and Adam. Added the florida address. Looking mighty fine there Chris! Nicely done!
Short Q, what is the number for on your right manifold?

 

Thanks Philip,

2 scatter-shields are on their way to you. I just sent you the tracking number for your free 2-day USPS priority shipping.


Those numbers on the [left] plenum are the miles and date of the last time I changed the oil and filter ... having a few different vehicles that I drive regularly, I find that an easier way to keep track of when and how much mobil 1 to buy : )

 

Chris, I just sent $ via paypal and pm'd you with shipping address.

thanks, Steve
