MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Zippi, I can't even remember anymore what my initial intention was with this car... all I know is that it wasn't this. 🤪
  7. 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
  8. Thanks guys... I've done enough work on this thing already - I'll make it fit if it doesn't!!!!
  9. 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
  10. tkzwolf, thanks buddy... I've messed this up so many times that I'm kinda surprised I've made it this far.
  11. avidinha, it really wasn't intentional... once I started this just kinda got away from me. I intended at first to just do something Pro Street
  12. slusher, Thanks my friend... if I don' get some color on this thing pretty soon - who knows what I'll do to it next.
  13. 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.
