bobthehobbyguy Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Really nice. The revised front wheel wells look a lot better. So much has been done to 49 merc's but I think a great fresh idea. Keep up the good work. Any thoughts on color? bobthehobbyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garagenous_Jim Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm not worthy of even attempting a build like this. But I'll watch. And I'll learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans Am Erik Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks guys! Hopefully I can get to finishing up the rear end soon. I still haven't decided what exactly to do with the exhaust. Maybe threogh the rear valance or even side exit after the rear wheels, any suggestions, photoshops welcomed. For the front I am thinking about going with a bar grille but am wondering what a thick grille like a Ford Fusion would look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91blaze Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I like the idea of a side exit exhaust for this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Am Erik Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks David, that does look really cool. Lately i've been smoothing out the nose and A pilars. As soon as i have some significant progress I'll post more pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Am Erik Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I changed the peakes of the rear fenders so they will match up with the center of the tail lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 ahh thanks do you know where to buy the jada car rims or do you have to but the whole car just for the rims? Yeah I'm afraid so. Try Pegasus Hobbies though they may have something comperable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Austin Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I am really enjoying watching this build and still can't get over how well you are pulling this all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) This thing really has some sweet lines. It takes some talent to integrate all these design elements and have it actually work, and you're doing a fine job. Looking forward to seeing it slicked out. This is definitely something that would be worth building in 1:1. Edited July 20, 2012 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 At first i was thinking what were you thinking ! But after I have watched it flow together it is taking shape rather well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
