  • Congrats Kevin. Such a beautiful car that has been built with a great eye and a passion for details. The pics of this years show have been driving me wild!

  • Kevan’s Mercury is absolutely stunning in every detail. The color, the interior, the engine – everything is traditional and expertly executed. More people should strive for this level of quality and accuracy when they build a traditional custom.
