Working on a Mercury Jody Ridley drove during his frist cup race in 1973. Junie Donlavey was the owner. This has been a tough paint job but getting close to completion. Got an ole school hauler that is a semi fantasy build, but it will match the Mercury.

Beautiful job on the paint. That mask job at the front of the red , white and blue must have been tough, but you nailed it.

Really nice masking, paint and graphics on the body! This one is going to be a real charmer!!
I appreciate people that actually build and post models.

Enjoyed seeing the finished build over in "Truck, trailer and haulers". Really an excellent build.

Men, I saw this rig in person here in Florida last month at our local FAST model car club contest ! He won a trophy! Incredible work Mark sir.
