crazyjim Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 What's a Merchero? A Mercury station wagon cut into a Ranchero. I used HOK galaxy grey and wanted to keep the whole car in shades of grey just to try something a little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Good concept, nice build, Jim, but the colors don't do it any favors, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I agree it's a neat idea, but what's going on with the wood trim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Big fan of your work but I must agree about the wood areas. I don't understand what, why ? Am I missing something ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks guys. Yeah the wood. I wasn't sure when I was doing it and am even less sure now. The plan was to keep the car in shades of grey. I might want to re-think that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Thank you Lee. Still deciding if I want to rip it apart, strip it, and re-paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carcrazy19 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Jim, The wood panels I would redo but I think this was a cool build and I like the color choice. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Love the build mate, like the color on the "metal", but i agree, just do the wood section mate, even if you do it in a dark wood would look even awsomer.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
