Fantastic attention to detail!! The paint is outta this world too!

Lord knows I got enough of these!....

These shoeboxes are addictive aren't they?? So many choices for mods, grilles, bumpers.... You could build these a hundred times and have no two alike. It's been fun watching the progress on this, it's coming together swell and I'm looking forward to it coming to completion. I agree with you wholeheartedly about lengthening the roof line into the Tudor configuration to get the Merc look. I recently (OK, about 4 years ago) stretched the roof on mine for the very same reason. I need to get my butt in gear and finish it. Shoebox Central's mascot car was the inspiration for mine, so I'm keeping the stock '50 grille. I finally got it in paint a couple months ago: 1956 Ford Sunset Coral. I can't find the pics to it ATM, but when I do I'd like to share them with your permission. I may have missed it, but what color are you going with on this one?

WOW, that is a really nice piece! You did an outstanding job!

The '50 Ford convertible & coupe, both the Revell Merc and the AMT Merc were always favorites, along with the Henry J.... The Henry's pictured here were built nearly 40 years ago, but I still have them.... Haven't built any since, but I'm fixing to start on a brand-new one.

I'm loving everything about this! You did a knock-out job of mastering the body, and the chassis/engine compartment weathering is the icing on the cake. Fully appreciating the realism on the washer fluid/radiator puke tank as well. A home-run build!

Simply stunning. Crisp in every way. Just plain gorgeous!

This came out fantastic! Nice-n-clean!

Perfection! Enzo would be proud!

Stunning build(s) and photography!!

Superb replication!

Neat as a pin! Loving everything about it!

Great scratch-building and modifications on this! This is definitely one that would grab your attention at a contest. AWESOME work!!

Nice build! I like the gold against the green.

Your work and skills are in a class by themselves! Just GORGEOUS!!

Beautiful builds!!

Stunning lineup!!

Awesome rendition of "what could've been"! LOVING the color!

Just WOW!! Incredible attention to accuracy and detail!! To say you knocked it outta the park would be a major understatement! Beautiful!

Nice, clean build, outstanding color choices!!

Thank you Sir!!

Thank you!!

Thanks so much! I appreciate it!

You said more of a mouthful than you could ever imagine!! LOL.... I can't recall a single year in my adult life I completed this many cars.... Of course, a REAL miracle would've been STARTING and completing this many.... Gotta go, my nose is starting to bleed just at the thought!! (Thank you!!)

Thank you!!
