Smoke Wagon Posted March 19, 2022 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted March 20, 2022 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Great looking Merc. The color resembles some of the somber colors on some post-war era cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke Wagon Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
