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.

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.

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