~* Updated 1949 Mercury Custom*~ Must See!!!!!!!!
Here is the car in primer. I made tailights out of piping, i cut off thin strip and then put putty around then and then shaped it. and i swaped the engine front the old flathead to the custom Chrysler 440.That is it i will wet sand it soon and then paint it Duplicolor: Black Cherry. That is it for now guys and keep those critisizms coming and the comments they are appreciated.Should i put the skirts on or not?

Nice, but fails to live up to the hype of the thread title. What exactly is "must see" about it?
