Legendary Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" tribute car.

We had the honor to speak to Maciej Bakowski, founder of classic rescue coachwork shop is NY. The "Red Pig" project took him well over 6 years to complete and man, what a great story he has. "The were so many moments I wanted to give up on this project. The frustration of finding more rust which made the project so much harder, then, when I got everything installed - the engine, transmission... the wiring started. And I am not the best at it, it's my weakest point. so yeah, there were challenging times. There were periods of 3-4 months where the car was covered and I didn't touch it. I had to take a break. But I love progress. It is my moto in life, I guess. So I took a break and looked at some cool pictures and It brought the memories back and I was like, 'Ok it's time to get back to work'. So if you wanna build something like this, if you don't have very deep pockets, you have to have a really big heart, you know?"
