    Not the same car.The one you talk about now is in Dan Collins' hands.

    Verdammt nochmal die wahrsten Worte,die jemals auf diesen Seiten gesprochen worden sind.

    It's for a customer.

    This car will be a dividing line, all Mercs past and present will be judged differently after this one is presented.

    I'll have to echo what others have already said ... Wow! ... great stance & proportions ... definitely will be the new benchmark for '40 Merc customs!

    Just when you thought that a Rudy creation couldn't get any better another rabbit jumps out of the hat. Can't wait to see this one done.

    This Merc is VERY nice, I must say. And the hot rod builds from this guy is
    amazing. I do, however, like the more flowing "coupe"-feel on the back part
    of the roof of the Matranga car. Just my opinion, so no need to take it too
    seriously. :D

    Can't wait to see this great car painted and all the shiny metal parts in place!

    It looks like you've paid attention to the details. The gaps and lines look great. You've even made sure the cabinet doors won't open and touch the body when in the booth. Nice!
