Ever since the movie Cobra i have loved the Mercury. Nice work, do you have plans for a few of these? Looking at chopping the roof on any?

Ford's greatest car I reckon! Since the Jimmy Dean movie (Rebel without a cause) I have been sold on Mercs. If only Ford would "retro" a new car based on this one they'd sell heaps. I'd forgotten what a nice kit the AMT version is, and you've done a great job on it. Nice to see a stock version for a change.
