i love how this grates on the people who want to restore the car to 'concourse' level.... my brain says " !the car is too far gone for anything close to tbat! you'd spend 100 grand or more and still have something the concourse guys call 'A Junk Car' and it would be worth less than half of that fortune you spent. " but Puddin's " MUDcedes " will live on in both Mercedes Snob AND redneck mudding community lore forever.

I'm 72 years old , living on a pension but you brighten my life. I started working on my own vesicles at around 16. I wish I could work with someone like you as Bill does. Not to make money but to have fun in life. I wish I had the money to buy your merch and help support you and your sweet family. I do subscribe and watch every episode . Thank you for giving me and others something to look forward to watching and God bless you for your military service. P.S. Hot Rod reminds me of my granddaughter that I don't get to see. I understand you adopted her? You and your wife are what all people should aspire to be. Thank you and God Bless. Love Rev. Jeff.
Is it just me or is the classical music with Puddin tearing down stuff super soothing and the most elegant thing in the world? I love it and it's super relaxing 😂
Been on vacation for 2.5 weeks, nothing like coming back to PUDDINI!!!!!!! RIP to the fastest lady in the world, Jesse, we miss you. Man Theo, what a great dog, can't say it enough!!! That thing looks freakin AWESOME, I can't wait to see how it comes out. So awesome
Stop being concerned about what other people say about your greatness if they want something else to do, tell them to buy their own and do what they want to do with it. I’d never 4 wheel a car, but you totally nailed it. ❤
Lifted Benz Approved 💯❤️. Maybe just a simple front plate that attached to the two rails to hide underneath at the front. No need to extend the number or hide the wheels. Need to add covering panels in the back wheel arches for a nice clean look. Its the best uses of a truck bed behind Demo Matt’s Cuda Build. get it finished and go do a meet up at Desperado Ranch.
I love it! Also, you need a drill press. I used to think that when you were in the old shop. I still think it would pay for itself by extending the life of the drill bits. Love the Mercedes! I need one!
👍🏼 “MADMAX” of Pott County! (Theodor riding the hood in Spike Collar. Jacob wearing a Hockey Mask, Slick 50 sporting a mohawk slinging boomerangs) Bill won’t sleep for months.
Extreme 4x4 was where i became a fan of jessie combs following her through shows like all girl garage as well truly talented she showed women have a place in the automotive industry and her passion kept me wanting more she will be in my heart forevermore rip❤.
Oh gosh I didn't see this vision and it's the best thing ever! Stuck in a mud hole with fancy cheese and crackers with grey poupon! Love all this. Mini box trucks and classy mud luxury monsters!
Thank you for something not dropped on steelies. This is what I wanted to see on the Datsun wagon if you didn’t sell it. A little something different is always nice. Looks good 👍🏻
My suggestion for the front is place a winch plate up there. The winch can fill in the space between the frame horns. Then some triangle tubes from bottom of frame horns up to the existing bumper. Very fun cool build!
Being born and raised in Alaska as a 38yr old man that works on cars for a living I love it. Can’t wait to see the future for it. I plan to body swap my 57 gmc dually over to a new 6.2L gmc frame and running gear over the winter. Much love
"DAMN AWESOME!" is right. I was one of the ones who wasn't excited but I am now. Get yourself a nice K5 and do it up! Can't wait to see that flying through the mud out back!
Hidden winch bumper in the front... relocate the gas tank/fuel cell to the trunk & drop that rear bumper as you mentioned and that'd be an awesome start appearance wise. Thanks Jacob for all you go through to entertain us! I know it's "your job" and you do have some fun with it but, I know it's not always easy so just know that what you give us is greatly, TRULY, appreciated! God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
Horizon should sponsor this build under their ARRMA brand and afterwards, release an ARRMA Puddins Fab Shop resto-mod 3S monster truck. This thing looks fun and ready for mud! Well done Theo and Puddin'. Hope to see more of this one:) All the best.
Aside from the classic pink ranger, Jesse was my first love growing up. RIP!….I didn’t see this build coming but I’m freakin excited! I’m here for it 😂
Hello from the PNW! I'm only 52 years of age but I've found it much easier to square up a square body frame, damaged in the front, by slicing the top and bottom of the c-channel. This leaves only the vertical portion to be moved by BFH and welded. Its amazing how far a frame rail moves over distance.
Can’t wait to see you go the whole way & build the Mercedes and get it roadworthy. Front bumper-just build a bumper big and bulky enough to stand on it so u can work on the engine if needed.
Now this is some great content! I'm in a stage in my life where I set aside the race cars and old muscle cars and exotics and I've been building overland rigs. So this is just the best! Seeing them 37s go on that vehicle is dessert 🍨
Puts up 12 foot ladder, climbs up, slaps the roof. RUPERT!! Look how much Grey Poupon you can fit in this bad boy!!! AWESOME build. Can’t wait to see more!!
Loved this episode - hands down, your best effort EVER. Camera angles, sound quality, and editing were all perfect! You were having so much fun, the hour went by too fast. You definitely hit a home run with this production. The only thing missing was some thought balloons from Theo, but I understand you were short handed this week.
Jesse Combs was my teenage crush. She was amazing on and off screen. When she passed away a lil piece of me died with her. Rip Jesse. 😢 Dang it, still gettin a lil choked up writing this. lol
@@upscaleshack there’s one in every crowd. Care to spellcheck me too? How’s my grammar doing so far. Honestly you shoulda just started that comment with “actually…” (pushes up glasses)…
I’m picturing the chrome front bumper dropped and extended out. I like the idea of dropping the rear bumper. Can’t wait to see this thing driving! So cool!
Ol Theo! I absolutely love seeing him show his character more and more. He knows he’s home.
You’ve done right by him.
I’m not the type of person to write a lot of comments, but this lifted Mercedes is awesome. I approved 100%.
Vintage Benz owner approved. This is gonna live online forever in the Benz community, please take some good pics when its done. LOL
I'm putting a manual 300ce together right now ,it's lowered with 500sl brakes and a turbo in it's future.

Couldn't agree with you more. Well said, and bless you, sir!
I didn't think i would like it at first, but man, oh man, I LOVE IT!
Nice shoutout to Jesse. RIP
522 mph is one crazy way to go though.
@@FORCE_PBC agreed. Chasing the thrill
I mean if I could chose the way to go that would high on my list for sure
Not just a pretty face but she knew her shit!
She was an amazing woman
Jessie Combs was a bad ass builder!!
Hot too!
BBBW!!!
Which stands for beautiful, badass building woman
Mercedes owner here, This build is one of your best by far !! Keep on doing what you love, We will watch and enjoy.

Bro!!! The tribute to Ian and Jessi! So awesome. I would rush home from church to watch them and horsepower and trucks....Joe and Jessi RIP
Early 2000s were the best. No smart phones or cameras everywhere.
Build a winch cradle under the front to cover some of that up
From one Brian to another, this is the perfect idea! Pott county off road recovery!
I'm not a Mercedes-Benz fan
But I'll tell you right now I love this build❤
this is up there with the yee hawl as one of the most unique and interesting vehicle builds I've seen in a minute.
Love how all of us grew up watching the power block on TV. Awesome build
Indeed!!!❤😂
Totally! That was the best part of Sunday!
So amazing how he just films all his stuff and does all this work all by himself. That’s why I support and watch the whole video Love it
My grandfather is smiling in his grave in Tellico Plains, Tennessee knowing I'm watching this beauty. This is right up our alley.
Skid plate going from edge to edge and down under the frame on the front would look sick. It's almost a mad max machine! Awesome build puddin
I came here to say the same thing.
Great start I hope this build continues. Sema rig for sure! Great stuff!
Yes Sir. That has to be completed. 4x4 club approved !!!!!
Glad we finally get to see Rupert!!
Rupert is the butler. We saw the snotty snot snob that Rupert works for 😂😂😂
I won’t lie…you got me on the skid steer. lol I was like “he’s gonna miss that thing when they come get it”. Ha
I had a blazer datsun combo for about 20 years. It's the best of both worlds. Eventually, the body couldn't take the flex anymore 😢 a lot of memories.

Rupert has been elevated to a higher status. I love it. This needs to be a channel build.
As soon as you design a T-shirt with the 4x4 Mercedes. I'm going to buy one !! Definitely BADASS !!!!!
@@davidwaynesingleton6826 Ditto 👍‼️
Rip Jessi ❤
Ditto, such a skilled young lady.
@@kerrypierre9494 her life was definitely to short. So much talent and always positive. She definitely left an impression on the car world.
I love it!
Also, you need a drill press. I used to think that when you were in the old shop. I still think it would pay for itself by extending the life of the drill bits.
Love the Mercedes! I need one!
great idea and really like the look of it! respect to you for attacking a project that size by yourself

I remember she would tackle wheels and tires I would never try to manhandle.
I was not really interested in this car at all, but when I saw the photo on IG, I'm HERE for it. Rock on Puddin'.
There's only three TH-cam car channels that I can watch without literally falling asleep and this is one of them
Possibly the coolest vehicle in your fleet!!!! I love seeing how much Theo loves you. He definitely appreciates his new home and family.
Oh gosh I didn't see this vision and it's the best thing ever! Stuck in a mud hole with fancy cheese and crackers with grey poupon! Love all this. Mini box trucks and classy mud luxury monsters!
Probably one of my fave videos since the wagon. Would love to see this completed!!
My favorite episode in the new shop hands down 😂
Thank you for something not dropped on steelies. This is what I wanted to see on the Datsun wagon if you didn’t sell it. A little something different is always nice. Looks good 👍🏻
This is a win. Unusual and different is your thing. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing it run
Definitely would be worth getting new frame!!! I would love to see it Done!!! Love this series!!!
My suggestion for the front is place a winch plate up there. The winch can fill in the space between the frame horns. Then some triangle tubes from bottom of frame horns up to the existing bumper.
Very fun cool build!
God damn, puddins done it again, please more of the mud-cedes, absolutely love it.
Absolutely finish it! I'll be really interested to see how you hook everything up.
Dude black out the windows and you got a wicked 4x4. I am definitely excited to see this dream of yours come to full reality
so cool! Build a period correct bull bar up front and wrap it with an old school tow rope like the old military vehicles used to do.
I absolutely love this build. I hope you go as far as you can with it. There’s a lot you can do. And it’ll be a one of a kind.
Who needs a frame rack. When you have a towrola!!
And a tree.
I’ve always thought these things looked good slammed, and I had hopes, but the “Monster Merc” is so much more fun. Run with that thing!
Full build please!! Looks amazing!!
Being born and raised in Alaska as a 38yr old man that works on cars for a living I love it. Can’t wait to see the future for it. I plan to body swap my 57 gmc dually over to a new 6.2L gmc frame and running gear over the winter. Much love
That pup really loves you.
This is my favorite build this channel has ever done. The world needs more Pott County Couture.
I second that. Cool ride.
You make it look easy. Enjoy the great shop and tools :)
Yessir. ! That’s all kinda of awesome! Skids and a bumper up front with some rock rails on the sides. Just too cool. Very Mad Max
Puddin, I'm 100% behind this project and absolutely love the Mudcedes!
"DAMN AWESOME!" is right. I was one of the ones who wasn't excited but I am now. Get yourself a nice K5 and do it up! Can't wait to see that flying through the mud out back!
I didn’t think I would like it. But, this is the old school fun type of video I was craving from you! Excellent job.
You did a good fantastic job I watch all your shows and I love them

You need to finish this it's so cool.
6:10. Theo has Puddin wrapped around his paw❗️🐾
Need to put some electric step sides on it would look awesome
Interesting project. Looks awesome. I'd use a come along and heat to straighten the frame.
OMG it looks friggen awesome, can't wait to see it running and driving 👍
I like to see you stay on this thing and complete it,or at least get it farther along. I’d also like to see you start on that van.
2nd channel idea. Give the Towrolla some love man 😂
I've been thinking of shipping him a transmission and door panels...😂
Puddin I'd love to see a full blown crawler build from this thing! Cut fender flares, rollcage, the whole nine yards! This thing is meeeeeeean

Oh hell yeah! Just based on the thumbnail alone I can tell its gonna be a good one
I have never been a fan of this style of car truck thing but THIS...
I'm all for!!
Looks Awesome Puddin, Cant wait to see more on it !! 👍
I freaking love this thing! best four by four build I’ve seen in a while, it’s definitely a one off amazing idea!!!!
Can’t wait to see you go the whole way & build the Mercedes and get it roadworthy.
Front bumper-just build a bumper big and bulky enough to stand on it so u can work on the engine if needed.
This is your best produced and edited video yet. Probably your best “build” too! AWESOME!
When it comes to straightening frames Puddin, You are a man outstanding in his Field. Lol
haha literally!
❤❤ that’s awesome. Hope you fix her up.😊❤❤ i’m excited!!
please finish this build its awesome!
I’m diggin’ that thing! I’ve been getting kinda bored with all the square body and get it running content.
It’s Puddin time😍
It's puddin time children, and friends!!
You’ve just made my inner child giggle with glee, this is why I keep coming back, every week. Thanks puddin

Puts up 12 foot ladder, climbs up, slaps the roof. RUPERT!! Look how much Grey Poupon you can fit in this bad boy!!! AWESOME build. Can’t wait to see more!!
I haven't watched but a few minutes of this and I already love it!
Gotta finih it puddin. Its super cool

This build is badass! Definitely wanna see a full build!
Monday funday with puddin!
Keep the build videos of the mudcedes coming! I can’t wait to see it done and you out enjoying it.
That new looking cross member they fabbed up is a trailer hitch they cut off the square and reinforced it. That's why those brackets look so familiar
