Ran across this. www.church-amps.com/    A guy named Andy Church builds tube amps using stuff available before 1961.   Looks like a fun gig. Take a look at the cases he builds for the amps!  Outstanding work! Kinda like the 190Db s of amps.  (Mercedes Content) __

I think you’re looking at $32 worth of the stuff in the back of that car. it’s not expensive unless you buy the DynaMat stuff, which is admittedly the best but way overblown as far as reputation. If you ever have to do the headliner in your SL, you definitely want to lay up some of this stuff i

Copart accounts are usually only good in a particular state, mainly due to the individual states’ laws on things like dealer licenses. You can look on their site and see what’s allowed/required for your state. https://www.copart.com/helpWithLicensing/?intcmp=web_footer_helpwithlicensing_en#state
