I haven't seen this one before either. I never would have thought of a Lead Sled Merc as a stocker, but this is one of the coolest vintage body stockers I have ever seen! Definitely an 11. Really nice build, and detailing.

When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.

Do you have any pictures?
Rick...you can go to the first page as there are a few pics of the build to look at there.

Took me a while, but had to prove to myself that this build was in Scale Auto....Oct 2011 issue in the GSL-XXIII Show coverage.....on page 37..
Was certain that I had seen a pic of this car in SA....but didn't want to say anything until I found it.....

Hey Ed...yea...it was on the table at the GSL in 2011. It took a third place. Pretty pleased with that for sure.

Gary,

Have always gotten a kick of various members having builds show up in SA, that had shown up on Fred's site and now here.....

Yea...I guess that's what happens when one goes to the model shows with their work.
