MikeeD Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 That's a tough one to answer...everybody has a different idea of what's cool. Now me, I tend to like things a lil different...I think it'd be cool to cut the top in half and make a truck out of it...sort of a Mercanchero...Mercamino...Merc-up...lol...you get the idea. If you didn't want to build the bed, just put a tonneu (sp?) cover over it and call it good. Actually anything you do would probably look good. They are a classic design and make sweet customs, lowriders, lead sleds. Killer paint and cool wheels and you have a hit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang67 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Look at picts...Then do your own thing!!! Sorry to simple: Maybe just highlight one area...like paint. Edited July 22, 2010 by Stang67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vizio93 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 You can always prostock it . Or really rust it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outspoken Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Here's an AMT version I'm working on... Although that does look decent so far, it has no bearing on the point at hand as that is AMT and he was asking about the new REVEL kit.

Harry P. Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Although that does look decent so far, it has no bearing on the point at hand as that is AMT and he was asking about the new REVEL kit. I think he's looking for build ideas... custom, stock, whatever. Doesn't really matter whether it's the AMT or Revell kit, does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Could of sworn I posted about searching for Raul Perezs 5.0 mustang / merc That makes absolutely no sense at all. You did not start this thread. You have not even posted in this thread until now. Your post doesn't even begin to relate to any of the posts in this thread. Are you sure you are in the right thread?

Yes Dan.. ..If you might remember a great build up By Raul Perez. ..took a SVT mustang and a Merc and put them together........I do not remove posts http://www.modelcars...h=1&#entry62529 http://www.modelcars...h=1&#entry60559 Edited July 23, 2010 by MikeMc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Troy, That Merc kit is a really good kit and there are 147 different ways to build it. Look at the kit for awhile, look at pictures of Mercs, and then you will get a feel for how yours will turn out. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 'could of sworn' comment was a little lacking in detail (to say the least) when it comes to referencing 3 year old posts. I can read your posts, but I cannot read your mind. If you don't put the info in your post, you can't expect people to have a clue what you're talking about. And, if you are implying that you posted today or yesterday and your posts were deleted by the administrators or moderators, you should have said so. The rest of us have no way of knowing you are referring to posts that do not exist, since we cannot see ... posts that do not exist. Again, we cannot read your mind. Apparently your deleted posts were inappropriate, so perhaps you should re-examine either what you post or how you post it. It would help us all be on the same page with you. Thanks for explaining enough further that we can now figure out what you were 'saying' or trying to 'say.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not question Gregg or Mods in public posts here, got more than a few banned in the near past and I am not going there or BLAME anyone Apparently your deleted posts were inappropriate, so perhaps you should re-examine either what you post or how you post it. It would help us all be on the same page with you. NOPE, not at all It was ONE post and got in some crossfire I hear. See above for rest of answer. My original post pointed out to search for those posts, I did and posted the links... NOTE comments in BLUE are my replys ..and please Danno.....you are not my mom, thanks for caring Edited July 23, 2010 by MikeMc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMc Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Mike, Dan, this thread isn't about arguing over semantics, it's about giving a fellow modeler ideas for building a version of the Revell 49 Mercury. Let's keep that in mind. Exactly....thats why the missing post was needed...follow the links. Edited July 23, 2010 by MikeMc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
