No. They could have studied them and used their success formula to make this far more insightful and interesting.

Not many Mercedes had that style frame but the panels were fixed onto the steel bodied ones basically the same. Just tougher to hand form and heavier, so not appropriate for a sport light. Such awesome and specific purpose in the gull wing. Check out the newer gen sls as well, its a modern sport light
Mercedes here in Germany is a life time relationship. Generations of families worked for Mercedes. If you are a youngster and did an Apprenticeship with Mercedes, you belong to the family all your life. They take care of you until you`re an old man. The Motor industry In the USA moved production to countries for the cheap labour witch killed Detroit and the beautuf cars that came out of the USA.
I don't know why every show out there says these old Mercedes have unobtanium parts, every hard core MB guy out there knows you can go right to Mercedes and order any part for any car ever made by them, all you gotta do is hand over your bank account and they will tell the factory to make it.
“They said we couldn’t” Who exactly is “they” and it’s not landing on the moon, it’s literally simply restoring a car that has been restored by literally thousands. Boomers just suck at clickbait
Most likely the greatest automobile ever conceived / built. When I was five or six, my Grandfather bought a 1960 Mercedes diesel. In those days, Mercedes went for Oldsmobile money; affordable. I went with my Grandfather to pick up the new car. There in the showroom was a bright red 300SL Gullwing. I was crazy about that car. The nice lady at the desk said she'd save it 'til I was 17. Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, Aston Martin, et al are faster, handle better and all that. But there is no car - none, not one - that makes one's blood pump just a little faster than a Gullwing Mercedes. This was one of the best 39 minutes I've spent in front of my computer. Thanks very much for sharing your incomparable skill, craftsmanship, and expertise with the rest of us.
Dear Pete K. I highly recommend to watch Jay Lenos 300 SL Gullwing episode, the very special transporter with it and the video about the 600 Pullman. Simply epic! I bet that you will love the vids. Best regards, luck and health.
One of the most beautiful cars Mercedes Benz ever made and probably their most famous. I miss Legendary Motorcar's show they used to have on Public Television. Watched it every week.
Despite its deserved iconic status, the 300 had a number of anomilies that irritated its owners - particulary the doors. However, watching you treat this gem with such care - and obvious love for what you do - is truly admirable and noteworthy. These rare cars need to be preserved, and that needs to happen on a consistent basis. With companies like yours dedicated to that task, there is hope for all these priceless classics to be preserved and appreciated by future generations.
So many craftsman, at the absolute peak of their respective fields, turned out a peerless restoration. Thank you for a detailed walk through this and a chance to see the people involved.
Best restoration video I’ve seen so far on TH-cam; historical significance reviewed, detailed in explanation, great video and very very well narrated. Great job!
just beginning the reassembly and final finishes of my 1959 190SL, weak but sleek cousin to the 300SL; this level of professional detail is priceless. Many thanks!
you know i used to watch every episode it was just a good vibe, the opening theme the segments Peter and Tom just a great show, would love to see the episodes again
I worked for Terry Rhodes Restoration in Capitola Ca c.1978. He did beuatiful work...died c. 2006...I think lead poisoning contributed .I saw 3 MB 500K and 3 gullwings go thru... One had Aluminum trunk etc. He never used feather fill but his supplier convinced him to try it. He prepped the aluminum 300SL trunk all day, had it in bare aluminum and he sprayed some featherfill on it and we went home....Next morning we went to Dunlaps Donuts (they were great) and the shop, opened the door and the featherfill looked like a dried lake bed. So he stripped it all off and never used feather fill again. Since I'm reminecing, his restoration of a 1903? Stevens Delahay won best of show or class at Pebblebeach c. 1975. Bruce Kanepa had something done .... he had a 911 Porsche with a 350 chevy and aluminum heads he said it was 40lbs lighter than a porsche engine. He had some legal issues with gray market porsches from Oregon?, had a dealership in Santa Cruz....Still racing today. I recall some friend wanted his Speedster done Right Now.... We stripped it down to bare metal and primed it and pushed it into the yard to weather for a few weeks while other issues were attended to. He sprayed it in silver. Guy next door did upholstry and that was a cool $7000 for a Speedster interior in 1978. It could go much higher....Guy used lamb wool stuff that had such a texture.... and 4 months later the Speedster was done. And I think he paid $40,000 for the restoration. He did my 53 Porsche. it had a 64 SC engine and was 1800cc.
Basf owns such a car because we can. And that's all the reason anyone needs to own such an amazing machine. What an amazing promo piece, to say the least! Way to go and thanks so much for documenting the process.
Kudos guys, absolute kudos. I've worked in the Auto Industry for over 4 decades at all levels, including as a Workshop Manager for Mercedes itself in the 80s and 90s...at the time quite a few classics were available, and the owners of the place would invest in restoration and sale thereafter. I would think in terms of job satisfaction it was the best time in my life, though worked in much higher positions thereafter, including being Regional GM for several countries for a different car maker. The depth and attention to detail you have provided in this one video is a complete tutorial in itself. And the end result is amazing. Very well done guys, all the way from Kenya, Africa.
When I was 7 or 8 my favorite car of all time was a Lamborghini Countach, though flipping through 'old car books' there was atleast three cars that stood out as amazing, and without a word told to me, I just knew by visual they were special beyond thought; Ferrari 250 GTO, Ford GT-40, and the 300SL.
@@marcryvon they did plating where I used to work but we were never allowed in the area. Everyone who worked in there had to trained to use a cyanide antidote EpiPen 😲
2:00 because these parts are aluminum it’s important that we take extra care… perfectly synchronized with the door corner resting and pivoting paint to paint on the roof of the car
In the planning stage of my '71 Pagoda restoration. Glasurit will absolutely be my go to. Just deciding on single stage or clear...and dare I say, a color change. Love your content!
What a classic You guys are first class and your workers are true craftsmen, a trade thats being lost with time Thank you Peter and all at Legendary you guys rock !
There are exactly 4 companies i would give a 300 SL for restoration: HK Engineering Mercedes Benz Classic Brabus Mechatronik They all create incredible quality and only use Mercedes original parts (you can get nearly everything for those cars newly made).
What a wonderful documentary. Thank you so much for sharing. Excellent craftsmanship combined with passion and dedication. And the best thing- you guys seem not to be afraid of the project! Hat’s of to you! Regards from Germany
When I say I’d have Foose do my my ProStreet stuff and you do my OEM classic restorations was based on your restoration of this 300SL. The attention to detail was insane.
Wow….thank you guys, for taking the effort to document such a rare process…to say you’ve done an amazing job, is an understatement. What an enjoyable video. Thank you again.
GULLWING ... The 300 SL needed the door design, as its tubular frame race car chassis design had a very high door sill, which in combination with a low roof would make a standard door opening very low and small. The Mercedes engineers solved the problem by also opening a part of the roof. Now the Car: There never was, is or will be a car it. It is, probably, the most good looking driving machine ever made. It is not a car that one drives in Cornwall on windy, wet and winding roads like a Morgan 8 or a Lotus but on German Autobahn, matchless and domineering, even today ... she is saluted all along ...There aren't many left. ..
I had the privilege years ago of briefly driving one of these cars. It was only a few hundred feet, from a showroom to the shop, but I got to start it and drive it. I knew at the time how special it was, to even do that.
Excellent video. One thing would interest me, however. The W198 300SL has some very sticky engine issues related to overheating and fuel running into the cylinders after shutdown. I would love to know whether these issues were addressed and if so, how they were dealt with. Here in Germany we have a number of shops that deal especially with the W198 and each has their own solution to these issues. This car is so special it needs and deserves endless care in restoration and upkeep. Thanks for this valuable report.
You are the best masters I know in the world. You pay attention to every detail and produce very high quality and very neat work. It would be an honor for me to be a teammate with you. If I had experience in this job, I would definitely want to work with you. 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very informative regarding the steps involved. One thing I may have missed..the 300SL had rubber padding preventing the frame tubing from hard contact with the body sheet metal. It turns to gum or powder over the decades. They were pleasant on the highway but now they are very noisy ..really too noisy inside for pleasant touring. Did the rubber get installed?
Looks very good at first glance but there's quite a few flaws. The front bumper doesn't fit properly, there's something not right about the trim fit on the lower front wheel arch and thers bubbling in the paint at the bottom edge of the nearside headlight.
Good point on using power tools for fitting certain parts. In general, I only use power to remove items in normal automotive things. Most good ratchets and other tools make relying on power not so important.
Heck! The difference is the gullwing would have been repaired. I watched an Alfa Montreal get T boned by a motorcycle once. Ruined the door and rocker/sill panel. The rocker/sill panel probably made it hard to repair ... not as special as a 300SL but still a rare car
Quite the "tour de force" in working this 300 sl..I still think that 2 seat T-Bird in the entry clips is Special! Y-Block 292/312..hopefully had the "enhanced" oiling mods installed.
I drive a 1965 230SL roadster...great lines, fun to drive. My fantasy car has always been the 300SL...unfortunately, I don't have fantasy money so the 230SL will have to do. 🙂

“They said we couldn’t”
Who exactly is “they” and it’s not landing on the moon, it’s literally simply restoring a car that has been restored by literally thousands.
Boomers just suck at clickbait
True. I do it on a daily basis and because Gullwings were based on 300 Adenauer components .
@@Mercmad🤣🤣🤣
Yes Mercedes classic center. Why are they even “restoring” this car? Seems to nice to restore. They definitely did a good job and was cool to watch
Not all parts are available, currently restoring a 59 300 sl and having a hard time sourcing parts for the differential and electrical.
Most likely the greatest automobile ever conceived / built. When I was five or six, my Grandfather bought a 1960 Mercedes diesel. In those days, Mercedes went for Oldsmobile money; affordable. I went with my Grandfather to pick up the new car. There in the showroom was a bright red 300SL Gullwing. I was crazy about that car. The nice lady at the desk said she'd save it 'til I was 17.
Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, Aston Martin, et al are faster, handle better and all that.
But there is no car - none, not one - that makes one's blood pump just a little faster than a Gullwing Mercedes.

I’ve been dreaming of someone showing this process for an SL thank you! Great Job!

That Gullwing is gorgeous!!! You guys are miracle workers, great job!!! 👍👍
As a custom painter for 46 years I can tell you these guys are correct in the procedures .
It looked great as it was
Cool that it's owned by BASF and that they appreciate history.
you know i used to watch every episode it was just a good vibe, the opening theme the segments Peter and Tom just a great show, would love to see the episodes again
I love this Peter thanks for posting all the retro episodes. Miss you guys on tv

that filtering process / viscosity .... 18 -21 seconds ...too thin / too thick : amazing .
A superb effort. It's not often I'm impressed by auto restorations but this is near the top. I'm sure even the Germans are impressed by this project.
I’m sure they are not

That parrot on the Glasurit logo: her name was Esther. Such a pretty Polly, Esther.

Welders are artists❣️
At last , looking forward to seeing a proper car going through your shop .
Cool video, interesting choice to use the Chip Foose 300SL in the thumbnail..
Best car show hands down
Very informative regarding the steps involved. One thing I may have missed..the 300SL had rubber padding preventing the frame tubing from hard contact with the body sheet metal. It turns to gum or powder over the decades. They were pleasant on the highway but now they are very noisy ..really too noisy inside for pleasant touring. Did the rubber get installed?
WOW! The colour really POPS. :)
Great video but make it more interesting more mysteries to keep us watching and interested in the video 😊
I would have gotten the straight 8 from the SLR300 and put that in .. there you have the chassis and engine combination that god intended
Fabulous.....my 1990 300sl is gorgeous also. This one though is pure heaven!
The name says it all…Legendary.
Stunning restoration.Magnificent car.
That car is the work of art
Overall amazing job👏 😍but that horific disc grounding let me perplexed .
One of my all time favorites !
Un formidabile restauro
Wow, that must be what inspired the AC cobra!
Looks very good at first glance but there's quite a few flaws. The front bumper doesn't fit properly, there's something not right about the trim fit on the lower front wheel arch and thers bubbling in the paint at the bottom edge of the nearside headlight.
Yep! You couldn't miss the bubbling around the RH headlight. I'm sure it was addressed.
Good point on using power tools for fitting certain parts. In general, I only use power to remove items in normal automotive things. Most good ratchets and other tools make relying on power not so important.
What a beautiful restoration! Kudos to everyone involved!
You guys are geniuses...
Woww what a great job and dedication .... congratulations people like you make possible for these beatiful pieces to be admired for generations
Professional work guys....When can i pick up my car....lol
When price is no object, great possibilities open up.
they restore it to perfection ❤️❤️❤️
Very Kool. All birds have wings, why do you think they picked the stinkiest bird that flies??
Miss you guys on BNN btw
This is really a perfect work you have done. Respect. I think there are not many company in the world, which can do a job like this.
Watched gull wing drive by. Then heard huge bang.
A Camry t-boned it!!!
Couldn't believe the extensive damage compared to the Toyota
Heck! The difference is the gullwing would have been repaired.
I watched an Alfa Montreal get T boned by a motorcycle once. Ruined the door and rocker/sill panel. The rocker/sill panel probably made it hard to repair ... not as special as a 300SL but still a rare car
Real good video. no crap or drama , no big deadline to meet. i enjoyed it a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it John.
A flawless refurbish of a classic.
Quite the "tour de force" in working this 300 sl..I still think that 2 seat T-Bird in the entry clips is Special! Y-Block 292/312..hopefully had the "enhanced" oiling mods installed.
Stunning result
I always wondered why getting something chrome plated was so expensive, now I know why.
These videos are still just as fantastic. Thanks so much for posting them please keep them coming.
Well over $1M right now, beautiful Mercedes.
This car looks great. I would never want to drive it with out head rest. Did it have seat belt? That is a must have.
The only thing I can say is: WOW!
I drive a 1965 230SL roadster...great lines, fun to drive. My fantasy car has always been the 300SL...unfortunately, I don't have fantasy money so the 230SL will have to do. 🙂
