This is friggin’ awesome, Steve! Builds like this are what I love about models. 
 

Pro Street EVERYTHING! ?

Nice to hear from you Dennis! Glad you like it. I occasionally like to build something a bit out of the ordinary, often in the pro,street genre. This is what I love about our hobby too. And yes, pro street ‘em all !!!

First time seeing this old build. This is, I'm sure, what Mercedes intended all along.  Beautiful workmanship and awesome concept!

Thank you Gary. Yep, I’m sure the original design looked just like this, then they toned it down some…?

This thread is almost 3 years old but any good looking Pro Street is worth taking another look at.  Very different but looks pretty kewl.  

Thanks Bob!! You and I both like our pro street cars. It’s an old trend but I still love almost anything with tubs and big rubber out back.

Glad this got bumped, I missed it before. Awesome job, that engine detail is fantastic!

Thanks Bill. This was built quite a while ago, before I polished my paint jobs, but it’s still looks decent. I remember spending a fair bit of time planning and wiring the engine.

Wicked! 

Haha! Enough said. Thanks for having a look Spike.

 

I appreciate all the kind words guys. It’s definitely not your usual pro street subject matter. 

Cheers, Steve
