Dwight_Fields Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Great looking build Gearld! That had to be a difficult paint job but you nailed it. I'm anxious to get my Mercury started with your body. It's going to be a fun build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
