[R129 SL] Brake parts ordered, etc.

[George Jenner]

Hi Rick, welcome to the group.  I applaud your initiative in doing the 
brakes and also the resto. on the MGB.  I have had a few other "toys" 
growing up.  My first was a 1960 Austin Healy 3000 followed by a 1962 
Corvette 340 hp 327.  Assorted 1965 Corvette coupes and a 1966 Corvette 
coupe that I did extensive fiberglass and paint work on and made into a 
concourse car that placed consistently high in the Florida area.  Not to be 
left out my wife bought a wreck of a 1965 mustang conv't. which I replaced 
floors and quarter panels on more than once including paint.  If I could 
bring any of them back it would be the first two on the list.  I never again 
experienced the feeling that I got driving home in that 62 corvette.



Happy Motoring

George Jenner - 1996 SL500
