Does anyone know where i can find door handles {inside and out}, armrests, gauges etc... just looking for a basic set - not too worried about being year specific. But am building a '49 Merc in case it matters
stitchdup: thanks for the advice... I only have to do the two little side windows on the Merc so that will have to be my testing ground, but I'm planning on trying to crew-cab {plus a bit} on the '56.
I have "heavily modified" a '49 Mercury and plan on a '56 F100 next... but this has and will require changing the size of some of the windows. Is there a way to modify clear plastic parts or a way to make replacements?
Engines showed up today: a "429 Boss" and a "427 FE". The blocks seen to be about the same size... not to worried about the top of the engine right now as I have to come up with some kind of a workable intake because of the hood modifications... not sure what I'm gonna do there yet.
Thanks for all the input guys!!!
Unfortunately, I basically know enough about cars to know which pedal to step on to make it stop or go. But I do like the Rodents idea about just flipping the oil pan around. still waiting on the engines to show up in the mail {supposed to be today} ... then I'll see what I have.
Thanks Dave, I figure it's only a model so I can pretty much do as I please with it... not really concerned with how much oil it holds - but good information all the same
I'm building a '49 Merc that has been extensively modified.
I was told that a 427 SOHC engine would be a good choice to fill the engine bay. I was fortunate enough to come across a "427 Boss" and a "427 fe". Now, since I know nothing about cars... i was wondering what the difference is and would one be a better choice over the other?
This is what I have so far on the Merc
bobthehobbyguy, I have to admit I might've overthought this one just a lil' bit... but now that it;s started i can't wait until the next project - if I ever get this one done.
