    ya know, I dont care much for it.

    I mean look at the flawless paint... and the absolutely perfect chop and proportions. And the brightwork how it frames the windows like it was set there by God himself...

    um yeah, its pretty much perfect. Going with the factory look and stock running gear... pretty much puts this over the top for me.

    This is the Hirohata of its time.

    WOW, I fully believe that the intended goal will be achieved on this build. One could visualize it being a star of one or more of the major European auto shows just before the war.

    By far one of the best new cars out there today and bound to be a classic, a masterpiece.

    I guess I'm the only one who feels this way, but I think that while the work is perfect the chop is too severe. The proportions look off to me.
    I understand this is a matter of personal taste, but I'm just sayin..............

    I can't wait to see how this one finally comes out Dante. After all, a chopped '39/'40 Merc is on my bucket list.

    Nice work so far.
