carsntrucks4you Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) The '50 - '51 Mercury dashboard from Replicas Miniatures of Maryland looks to good to hide it in a coupe. Therefore I cut of the roof of Revell's 49 Mercury. But that not all I made a mold of the rear fenders of a 1/25 Hendrix Mercury Coupe and add them to the Revell body The taillights will be from a '54 Lincoln The new bumper is based on a bumper from the Hendrix '51 Mercury Coupe top - resin copy of Hendrix bumper middle - modified new bumper bottom resin copy of new bumper Edited August 1, 2011 by carsntrucks4you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carsntrucks4you Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 My '51 Mercury convertible is nearly finished. I had applied the final clear coat. The interior is now finished. Some items like front indicator and the rear bumper are missing. I had made a new one because the chrome on the first one was everything but not chrome. I'm a bit disappointed on the chrome of the Buick grille from Modelhaus. It isn't that good as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
