Our collective Fluid hats must once again be tipped to the dynamic duo of welding, Craig and Tom. Their work on these custom C63 headers is nothing short of wonderful, as always. It took a lot of test fitting, but now everything is...
Today is a very exciting day at Fluid MotorUnion. After the other fun stuff to happen to us this week (getting the feature in European Car and having our minds blown by Burroughs' wicked E28), we managed to hit a milestone! Today marks the first time that Fluid MotorUnion has sold and shipped a custom-fabricated part.
There hasn't been too much static content on this website lately. For those not in the know, static refers to the lowering of a car by means of changing the springs or coilovers, as opposed to installing an airbag system (which can change its height with a switch, dynamically, hence static being the opposite). That changes today.
You might remember our earlier post on the C63 Oil Cooler (and if you don't, here's the link). After we've done some test-fitting and number-crunching, we have an update ready for you:
From what we've shown you in the past couple days, Luci's prowess is unmatched when it comes to painting. However, he has more tricks up his sleeve.
From now on, not all the beautiful welding jobs you see will be the work of Craig. Starting yesterday with the 7-series' exhaust, some of the weld jobs are being undertaken by Craig's protege, Tom.
We've had this C63 AMG in the fabrication garage for a little bit now, and the fab team is working hard on some very cool (and, for the time being, very secret) upgrades for this German workhorse. For now, though, here's a little sneak peek into what we're making.
A client brought in his SL55 AMG for some minor tweaks. He wanted a better but not overdone exhaust tone, so to get a little more than the classic AMG growl, we deleted the secondary cats and welded in some straight piping.
Even though we went through a post-less period of a month or so, there was plenty of photo documentation during that time. Here's a little bit of background on what we've been up to:
Some stills around the new shop!...
