Brudda Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Won this at our local club raffle. Not into customs but I thought I would give it a try. Revell 49 merc. Put a 2007 GT 500 supercharged engine with a 6 speed transmission. And the GT500 rear end. Had to modify the rear wheel house and frame to fit the rear tires and wheels. Put a mystic cobra paint job on her and here she is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 The paint job, color and finish, are both beautifully done. Nice interior colors and trim. Too bad it's hard to see with a chopped top. Got the stance right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it might be outdated. But it works somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsmodels Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Bruce, I'm not much into customs either but this is one beautiful build! It looks great from all angles and the paint is superb. -Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very fun build because you did not have to copy a certain car. A little more freedom on hot rods and customs. Some ideas did not work, like I first painted the wheels gold, and they looked weird. So I went to black. I kept lowering the car after each step. Like when I put the interior in the car the car sat up high. Take the rear end apart and lower again. But overall it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrm Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Very nice. If they remake the cobra movie with Silvester Stalone, they can use something looking like your Merc for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I remember following the WIP on this one, it was fun watching it all come together. The end result is stunning to say the least. The first word that comes to my mind when I see this car is "Voodoo". David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
