SEMA GOES WILD OVER MERRODDER
posted in: speedkings' garage, news on November 11, 2008 at 05:43 PM
The Merrodder is finally on the road like it deserves.
The second World debut of the MERRODDER occurred 15 years after the first debut. This car was found 10 years ago in storage, having never been roadworthy and looking rather weary. After consulting with Larry Erickson who designed the car originally the new owner left all the paint and body original and traded out dated aluminum for some new shine.
At this years SEMA the MERRODDER was invited to GNRS, Sacramento, Blackies, Albuquerqe and the Petersen museum.
We drove the car from Cincinnati to Lincoln, Nebraska on the way to Vegas. What a great ride.

^ if those stick on street-scene toyota celica wanna be mirrors dont look cheap to you then its you that need a dr. my friend! and those are the most generic wheels available in the billet scene. centerline sells 20” solids for around $150.00 each. the new wheels replace now priceless one-off boyds which were timeless! plus he put knock off spinners on a bolt on wheel! again…. CHEAP! i wouldnt be half as mad if scott gave credit to my dear friend larry kramer as the original builder… his name isnt even mentioned above!
