[W126 Coupe] 450SLC DOOR CHECKS

[Richard & Nancy Diefenbach]

Hey guys, tell me about it.  I just ordered a short fuel line part for my 
'64 SL and it was $26 + shipping (still haven't received it yet).  My dealer 
couldn't even find the right part # after four days so I ordered it from 
Bud's Benz in GA..  Finding the right price for the right part is a 
crapshoot.
