Guest Darkside Customs Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Seems like everyone is building these lately... I'm goin with this one....this is for a buildoff on Layitlow.... So far I've shaved the trim, gutters, handles, and hood.... It's been skirted and front and rear pans molded in.... Edited July 8, 2012 by Darkside Customs
Sixgunner68 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I'll be watching this one. Fell in love with the Merc after watching the one Stallone drove in the movie "Cobra".

Guest Darkside Customs Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Tried my hand at frenching antennas.... I think they look alright....
rmvw guy Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 This kit is another of my favorites, I may even like it better than the Revell kit because it has a really nice flathead and an opening trunk that really works!
CemetaryAngel81 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Gonna be cookin with gas with this,I dig the frenched antennas!
Olskoolrodder Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 This is gunna rock! Looking good so far,loving those antennas!
