Well I might be a big Rolls-Royce fan and I would be very pissed if someone did this to the original of this car but it does look quite nice - I look forward to seeing it progress,

I like it already! I agree with Wayne... doing that to a real one would be grounds for execution, but in the scale model world, anything goes! Very cool! B)

Darn, I'm too slow. I picked up two RR glue bombs with just such a project in mind. But given your level of talent, I think I'll enjoy watching this come together anyway. Besides, you can never have too many rat rods, right.

Amen to that. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

Why not cut up a real one? Its only steel...

Looks good

Actually its wood and aluminium, but would you be happy if someone cut up a one off / rare Muscle Car? Probably not. Wayne

Couldn't care less what someone does with their car, since it is, after all their. car.

Rod saboury used a real 63 split window to turn into a pro street car. I love that anything to annoy the purists.

haha way cool , you know the other box from italeri ? the bugatti ? i made a rat of that one :)

one problem and i think the merc might have the same they are big cars at least the bugatti was hudge irl , trhe merc is also a fairly big car , so when using such a kit to build a rod they tend to end up being a larger scale then 1/24 at least thats what i ended up with .. my guess is mine was about 1/16 as a hotrod in the end and i could use 1/18 scale tyres

but man this looks great already and i'm a bog fan of builds like this :)

i used this one >
