Thanks for the inspiration! Have one that had a squished roof (a and b pillars bent). Can't wait to see it together. Tim

Got to watch this one! Tim

I have a Testors/Fujimi version of this, I may be able to take a mold of the roof/pillars for you. Tim

Love it! That rear end is fabulous! Tim

Bryan, thanks for the tip! I'll try running to the auto parts store today and look for that. Would love to get this painted ASAP. Tim

Thanks! Unsure on color. But when you asked, gold popped into my head. Maybe with a little flake? :-) Tim

Fixed the angle so it wasn't leaning back so far. Now follows the rear angle. Tim

Added a frenched license plate to the spare. I think this is from the AMT 1950 Ford. Tim

Wanted to try to do a quick custom so chose this kit to play with. Started with the skirts flipped and moved back and then made the big back bumper. Looked big enough to ask for a Continental spare, so I through one together using some scrap plastic. Here's what I have so far. I will probably add a little detail or even a frenched license plate to the spare. Having fun with this one. Tim

Very nice! I picked up some of these off evilbay and all these posts for the 25 T coupe makes me want to dive in to mine. It would be my 2nd (and 3rd and 4th)! Need to see if the ones I picked up have the wires on the firewall. Tim

Looks good!

Looking good! Hope to see this finished since I never got it done! Glad it's getting the attention it deserved. :-D Tim

Add dyl_w@comcast.net to the list. Ditto for mredzadventure! Add gray07 to the list. Thanks! Ditto for Bart68. Great trade! Also add Johnny, kataranga, tubbs and jones45. Great traders! Tim

Very nice work! That frame looks perfect! TIm

I have this one in my build queue. Will follow this! Very nice, simple kit. Tim

Very nice! Never thought of trying to throw a hard top on top of the MM! Tim

Very nice!!! Love the window conversion! Tim

I wouldn't mind finding those either. Tim

Chuck, For the thick glass, have you tried dipping them in Future to see if it "smooths" out the distortion? Looking good! Tim

Nice work! I love this Revell kit! Want to pick up a few more of these! Tim

Love the concept and the choice of a powerplant! Tim

I like it! Gonna follow this one! Tim

Doc, love this thread and the work you've done w/this Merc! Keep it coming! TIm

Sorry, I missed the instruction request. Try here: http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/

Using LA's Totally Awesome (Dollar Store) or Purple Power (Walmart, etc) is the best way to strip paint. Just dip it in a container full of the stuff overnight and the paint usually scrubs off easily. Good luck! TIm
