brett Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Almost time for my clubs annual Hot Wheels night (9th June), so I thought I'd better start my car. Couldnt get anything close to what I wanted to do originally so looking through the stash I found this likely victim. 30 minutes later and about an hour after that I called it a night need to work on the spill plates for the wing but pretty happy for a couple hours work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 This Merc' turned out real nice! I like the color on it, and decals are fitting nicely. Engine detailing looks good too. It's simply awesome build. Rearend looks good too. Great to see '49 Mercurys which aren't all built Customs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
