    I am just trying to decide how I want to do this one........I am looking at many of them over and over before I decide to even begin building it.

    Wel I have known about this car for around 6 years but never really been able to get it from the owner and finally he decided to sell it so I jumped on the oppurtunity and scooped it up. I have always wanted a Merc and this was my chance to get one for a fair price......lol

    Nice score. You definitely have to review flamedabones Merc. build thread. It's the most impressive transformation of a car I've seen.
