Always a favorite of mine. I have one I started 40 years ago that I still haven't finished.  I'll follow along to see how yours goes Phillip.

Getting the chassis together,a nice surprise is the posable front suspension.Just have to be careful when assembling the spindles and the rod.

An iconic kit to say the least. I built my 1st one when I was 8. Brush painted Testors yellow... I thought it came out great. I have a couple in the queue, a '49 chop-top resin body (lots of work) and a Revell one. In total, I have around 10 '49 Merc kits, maybe more and couple of resin bodies.

yes classic lines since 1949 !
