WOW
Can't wait to get theses beauties over here in Jersey! Been talking with the other racers and they are pumped to push these builds to their limits!
It hasn't got out of the 20's here for days, gotta break out the propane garage heater to get some work done!
Love the tools on the window ledge!

I like the looks of these. I like the detail level. Just adds so much to a model.

Old Ford is looking the part too.

Great builds both - but the Mercury is my favorite. The level of detail just does it for me. Nice work!

A HAMMER? On a Mercury? You think it's going to break? :scared-eek: I like the circle tracker but I love that Merc.....decided to make it hard on the mechanics though, leaving those fender skirts on, didn't you? :laughing-rolling:

The skirts on the Mercurys and Lincolns unbuckled with a hidden handle inside. The Buick and Cadillac skirts were a lot more trouble. (I'm sooo old.)

Love the details. My Sportsman got some details today, too.
