I sent you a PM with my number. Please give me a call or give me the number for the dealership. Did you change dealerships?

Glad you landed safty Ferris! And really glad you are going to be able to help with the DRBII!! To bad Robert Krause wasn't at work today but if everything goes well we should be hearing it run tomorrow night. Thank you very much for he help. When this thing runs it will be because of this forum and all the great members that have helped me and cheered me on.

Hey Lantana.... I have not been of any help to you except for the fact that I have been a sideline cheerleader. haha! Looks like you can see the light at the end of the tunnel buddy. Everyday when I get home, the first thing I do is check the forum to see if you got her running yet. Here is hoping that tomorrow will be the day. Best of luck to you.

I haven't posted because I can't be of help. But be assured that I'm present and waiting to give you 2 thumbs up when it's running and driving. I never thought I'd be a cheerleader. Do I have to put on a short skirt or what! (I'm a macho man .... I think)

Maybe you could get by with a kilt.

Well it turned out to be another slow day on the Crossfire. Ferris was willing to bring the DRBIII, cable and card tonight but Robert Kraus couldn't stay late. The good news is he did arrange to borrow the DRB system from a local dealer and will be working on the car in the morning. Unfortunately, if it runs I won't be there to see it. I have to fly to Toronto in the morning on business and will be back Thursday. Robert will call me if he is successful. Ferris was able to give me the MB part number for the Crossfire SKREEM. I ran that number through MB EPC net to see if it was common to any other MB's and I only got one hit. You guessed it, SLK320 R170's I am confident we will get this running as we are so close. We just need to get the immobilization initialized.

80 or 90%? I am still trying to find an actual chrysler part and haven't found one yet. Maybe the front and rear badge and the possibly the airbag cover that was designed to attach to the Mercedes Steering wheel. I was think possibly the wheels but I don't think you can really count those since they won't bolt up to a Chrysler but will bolt up to just about any MB. Same goes for he engine cover which is a Mercedes design with a Chrysler logo. Even the engine cover will fit a Mercedes engine but no Chrysler engine.
