Very nice job on this classic! Brings back memories...

Very cool car model taking shape here. I like how you've treated each sub-assembly as a model all its own. Interior has a nice "feel" to the finishes that adds realism, and don't get me started on that engine bay; just NIIIIICE!

Very nice scratch-building! Interior is impressive already. Will you add any sort of rivet detailing?

Came out very nice, and the bright red is gorgeous! Really like your chassis work; nicely done.

Very nice Merc. Love the low key color and clean build. What a beautiful car, and one of my favorite auto roof-lines of all time.

Sweet! You really brought that thing to life!

This is fun, and the extra detailing goes a long way toward creating a believable model. I like to add a few extra bits to my Tom Daniel and Dave Deal kits, too.

Appears to be working fine!

Welcome to the forum! Owensboro's a nice town. I've got friends and family there and the surrounding area. Not a long move from Evansville!

Very cool project, can't wait to see where it leads...

Good looking build. I didn't notice the unfoiled trim, I just thought you removed it! Agree that it looks nice with just the one trim strip. Where did you get the bed cover?

Very sharp build. I commend you on your choice of gray here; too many "cool" shades of gray used sometimes as car color and it can look drab. This "warm" tone of gray is just nice on the Merc body! You wouldn't expect chrome trim to pop like that on gray, but there's a wonderful contrast between the trim and body that looks so real. Well done!

Nice! Boy, that engine looks like a snug fit.

Now that's a Duezy!

Outstanding! As nice as the two-tone looks, I would have been tempted to paint the entire car in that gorgeous gunmetal gray color! Very well done at any rate.

I think I'd radius the rear fenders at least some; maybe even mimic the shape of the front opening. It would "lighten" the bulk of the semi-fastback rear end you're creating, which is working out pretty dang well!. The section relieved some bulk from the side-view, but you gained some back from the roof in a 3/4-rear-view (a fair trade!). Just my 2 pennies...

Fun following this one, and the results don't disappoint! Very clean little rod, literally and stylistically. Nice job.

Love these bodies, and your build looks like it ought to! Cool color, too.

Very nice street machine!

Really like the chassis detailing.

PM me if you have no need for the interior bits; I can use 'em for a stalled project!

I really like the looks of those wheels; I gotta dig in the stash to see if I may have some already. Very cool.

Isn't that grille in one of the AMT parts packs, like "bumpers and grilles" or some such?

Nice concept, cool colors, and really nice under-hood details. Well done.

That came out really nice; LOVE the color of the paint, both interior and exterior! Well done. Chrome paint pen in English:? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256802662135765.html?sku_id=12000022453646324&spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.6deb2d66a2ICGQ&gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt
