Built this a few months back. It is the chopped Revell kit, and unusual for me, built mostly out of box, aside from the aluminum carb stacks. My idea was this- basically it is a Merc which was customized decades ago, then suffered some driver's side damage and sat unattended for a long period. A new owner picked it up and began working on it- replacing the damaged door and fender. The replacement driver side fender was modified to match the original on the opposite side of the car, and the bodywork was given a quick coat of primer. Aside from new rubber and a fresh interior, the car still wears most of its original parts, and is built to resemble a car that is slowly being restored back to its former glory while still being driven and enjoyed on a regular basis. Oh, and that delightfully tacky leopard print pattern? I found an image on the internet, imported it into Microsoft Word, and printed it out on regular copier paper, then glued it over the pleated areas on the seats, side panels, and on the rear package shelf.
