    Rudy has definately raised the bar for building a custom in the modern day with traditional looks and styling. This car is a perfect example of a car that will be timeless like its fore-fathers (Matranga Merc, Johnny Zaro Merc, and the Hirohata Merc ) a very short list of Memorable Mercs! the cars that have the Wow factor!
