Default Merlin is Back

I see Merlin522 is back on line. I read in an other topic they were considering this. Glad to have him back. I have been following his website for updates but this is better that he is back on the forum.

I'm glad he's back. I understand that he almost stopped his project - thankfully he has decided to complete it! :D

I'm currently "restifying" my Vette, and it's always interesting to hear what others are doing, and Merlin has the ultimate project. I also like to get input from others who are not just interested in re-creating a Bloomington Gold Vette. Welcome back Merlin... :cheers:

Excellent to see that you're back, but are custom vehicles ever finished? Just when they look/do exactly as originally intended, they stay that way a while & then start evolving again :yesnod: ;)

I also am glad to see he's back! Visiting his site is nice and all but his Forum narrative is great and allows me to pretend I am there witnessing this beast come together...

GO MERLIN!
