Finally finished my 49 Merc.(The Golden Diamond) This has been a long on going project that started at least 8 years go. It all started with a birthday gift from Alton Spence. (once again, Thanks Alton) and much needed pushing by my brother from another mother Luke Karosi as well as inspiration from his magazine, Kustoms Illustrated. I chopped it and hard -topped it then sectioned the body 4 scale inches, added the canted quad headlights with a kustom fitted grill. The tail lights were from the parts box and were canted as well. All of the interior was kustom made using materials from parts boxes and styrene pieces. The dash is a kustom fit 59-60 Chevy unit with a kustom steering wheel along with hand made Lakes Pipes from Aluminum rod. Glass was also made from templates seeing the original no longer fit. But enough with all the jibberish, on to the pics...

It's been a long time since I have posted here. Unfortunatly I have not had much build time due to a very busy schedule. I did have a lot of fun with this though. I originally built it to bring to NNL in the span of 2 weeks. The Paint is an old Dupli-Color GM touch up sprayed straight from the can. I do not have the color name as the label was missing. 
I pretty much gave it a test shot and said that will do. LOL As for the rest of the build it was pretty much right out of the box. So enough with my rambling and onto the pictures. Enjoy and Happy Building!
