                        I posted this over at ScaleAuto but when I see the names that post or respond to FineScale it looks like there are two different auto groups so I'll post it here for this group.
                        I attended my first IPMS show at Elyria, Ohio this Saturday past and entered my 49 Mercury gasser. Much to my surprise it came away with 1st in class and Best in Show (Automotive) It really feels great so I just wanted to pass along thanks to all who provided information and help for this build.
