This guy is a stud!

I ran into this guy at a car show this weekend. His name is Al, he's 76 years old and just finished completion on this merc. He did EVERYTHING himself even down to the paint and interior. Said the car took him about 2 years

that's him by the trunk







he's got a chopped and sectioned merc body I'm going to take a look at

I'll take some pics of the body he has when I go check it out. It may be a deal I can't pass up.
