Video looks good but you have to see these type cars in person to really appreciate them and the work that’s been done to them. I’d love to see this Merc in person. It’s hard too see what’s been done, in the darker areas, in pics. Great car

You are absolutely right, you need to see this car in person to really see all the details. If you get a chance checkout the photos in our Detroit Autorama article at: www.eclassicautos.com/ridler-award-winner-at-the-detroit-autorama-2023/

Personally I wouldn’t have used the modern headlights. Other than that it is an incredible build. Good luck weigh the Riddler.
