that is a very ambitious project you are contemplating. i think i have seen at least one replica slr with all mercedes components. cant remember when or where i saw it though.

i did see a gullwing replica with modern 103 engine and fiver. the body work was very authentic looking. it was offered by a company that specializes in upper end old cars including such obscurities as dual ghia and hand built ford based sports cars "hyman". finally the name came to me. it is in st louis. there is a second word to the name such as motorcars, not sure what.

i wouldnt be surprised if that car is still offered. they have a website. it is fun to look at it even if they might not have what you are looking for.

if you can find out what company built the gullwing i wouldnt be surprised if they did the slr. or perhaps know who did.
