carbuilder1950 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) This is a really nice resin body that I used a 1956 fort as a donor kit. I added the continental kit, with some modifications, and the Chrome roof band, and I also added the chrome strip along the top of the rear fenders and foiled them. Lastly, I detailed the engine bay, and did a little interior work, and of coaese I hinged the hood - FUN STUFF. I love this Mercury design and colors. I smoothed the door handles, but left the rest of the trim. Olds Fiesta, and wide whites finished the ol' girl off. This sure is fun stuff.

damodelguy az Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 beautiful build. ive seen pics of this car in these colors and always liked it the best, but theres a few 3 color combos that look real shape. very nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 The colors, the paint, the lowerness...all looks amazing! great car you've built. But, if you allowe me to give a small piece of critism what cought my eyes. Please try to remove the moldinglines on the chrome bumpers (next time perhaps). on the rear left bumper the chromechip cought my eye. because i'm sometimes to unmotivated to remove the chrome, sand them down, and rechrome them, blablabla etc. .....a small and fix repair is to sand the moldinglines down with 400/1000 wet sandpaper and cover the corners with molotow chrome. that works very well. As said: the overall look is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Beautiful looking build. I have always thought the Canadian Ford products of this era were more interesting and they weren't afraid of a little extra chrome trim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
