Smoke Wagon Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 Well if I had money, I’ll tell ya what I’d do, I’d go downtown and buy a tank of gas or two. Crazy ‘bout that gasoline. Lord I’m crazy ‘bout that gasoline. Had a few AMT stock Merc chrome parts and decided to put them on this one. Paint is Rustoleum smoke gray enamel. Added tail pipes, the two trim pieces on the back glass, used UV nail polish on the headlights, and lifted the ride height closer to stock. 3
wrenchr Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 that turned out great, not many know what a stock merc looks like.
Zippi Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Nice looking 49 Merc. That Rust-Oleum Smoke Gray looks pretty nice on the body. The interior looks really nice. Those white wall tires look great against that body color.
espo Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Great looking Merc. The color resembles some of the somber colors on some post-war era cars.
Smoke Wagon Posted March 20, 2022 Author Posted March 20, 2022 Thanks gentlemen. I would’ve put the chrome badge on the trunk but I think my carpet ate it. 9 hours ago, Zippi said: That Rust-Oleum Smoke Gray looks pretty nice on the body Bob, for a rustoleum paint, this enamel laid on really nice. You oughta try it through your airbrush. Even spraying it out of the can I hardly got any orange peel.
happy grumpy Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 Nice work on the iconic merc. We don't see them stock very often. Always nice to see one.
BeakDoc Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 Classic! Love the paint and them big ole fat white walls.
Oldcarfan27 Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 I don't know about the gasoline, but I'm crazy about that Mercury!

Mcpesq817 Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 I have a couple of these on the shelf - love the color, nice job!
