:wave: Greetings all;

This Is a car I built from a prototype of mine.The prototype was made from a Lionel Mercedes & I chopped the top.I also added L-L Porsche' wheel flares & Tyco side pipes & hood scoop.It is cast in white resin & engineered to work on either TOMY G+ or T-Jet type chassis.This example I painted in silver & added Mercedes Decals.I have also built others that I will show in the future.

Dear Mr. Neal,

We regret to inform you that the Mercedes Benz Company Research and development department has decided to reposses your automobile due to circumstances beyond their control. Apparently these designers do not think that their automobile should look this bad-ass-cool. Please surrender said automobile imediately to joez870, who is our agent.

Any delay in surrendering said automobile will only make our designer turn more green than he already is and we will be forced to offer you employment as chief designer. This will make our current designer wet himself. Please consider the options that we have outlined with care, as we do not want wet floors.

Sincerley,

Mercedes Benz Co.



Ok ok...that was really lame.....but that Benz is really cool! I am seeing it in black with red bits in the grill, red wheels and maybe red pipes.....

Keep building these super cool cars, Neal!

You did a great job marrying up all those brands/body parts. I like how you kept the Mercedes front grille so there is no doubt where this custom started off. It's alive Dr. Frankunschteen.

Hey there, Neal-

You did an exemplary job on this one!
What a great idea with the flares and very smooth job!

Your work is always a bit different than the “run-of-the mill” stuff and I always enjoy looking at what you’ve created.

Excellent work! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thanks again for sharing such a “personal” piece!



Cheers..

With all the car companies working on modern twists on old cars, you hit the retro look right on the head. The flared wheel wells are perfect. The back view is awesome.

Nice job, Neal!
