Guys, I posted a couple pictures of the Merc's my buddy made for me. He is still working on the one from the movie "Cobra". Enjoy...

It was me :wave: , Jeff! Me Me Me! I want a merc sooo bad!
Like the coupe in the 4th pic! (yes, I am excitable when it comes to mercs...well, slots in general, I guess. :lol: )

Are you offering to help a guy out with a body that I could finish or are you just teasing me with those cool pics? hehehe
I'm digging the mini lindy P'up too! :cool:

Joey Joey Joey.... Dude I am just teasing you.... :D

No, I sent him an e-mail asking if he had anymore or if he would make a couple more. Just waiting for a reply...

I will pop you a PM when I get his answer.

Great, jeff! Thankyou kindly!

I know that it prolly doesn't belong in this thread, but I just have to tell you guys about my latest aquisition! MY Holy GRAIL!
I finally got my hot lil hands on a real honest to goodness ULTIMATE FIRECHIEF!
It is perfect on a proII. The gumballs and chute are still there too!
It came from newmexico today in the mail.
I had only seen ONE on ebay about 2 yrs ago. That one went for over 200.00 with scuffs in the decals and paint! I found this one for under 25.00 with shipping!
I have been trying to find a good one for almost 10 years now. wooHOO!
(Now I have to figure out a new holy grail. *DOH!*)

Thanks for letting me share.

(I just figured out why my pics won't load. The files are to big. My gal will show me how to reduce them in a day or so. :)

Ok, I got an answer back from my buddy and currently he doesn't have any bodies but is willing to pour a few... I asked if he would mind hearing from a few of you guys and he said no problem. His e-mail address is : toyman20@netwalk.com

So drop him a line if you are interested. I am not sure what he charges for un-finished bodies. The two I posted were finished by him and they cost me $30.00 (with chassis) each. Even though we are good friends he only cuts me some slack when it comes to $$.
