W-409 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Interesting Mercury... Your bench is looking good too. You have very great building subjects out there. Also tools are looking great... Can't wait to see great models from your bench. EDIT: Engine detailing looks amazing.

IceMan Collections Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Great looking work area! Is that steering wheel out of a kit or a custom piece? I had a few of these lying around along with some pumps. Hoppin Hydros makes some very similar ones now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyb Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Great job on the merc! Your workbench is very well organized. Very good job wiring that engine. Are those aftermarket pulleys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those aftermarket pulleys? Thanks for your compliments and good eye! They are! It was a 5 pulley set but used only what I needed for this kit.

W-409 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 So you like to build Lowriders ? That's great. Impala looks really good too, and I've rarely seen '49 Mercury built Lowrider, but that one looks pretty cool to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
