I am always amazed at the information that's available it we just ask.Pretty amazing!@

This will look great in black.We don't many custom Mercs in that color.With a visor and some tinted Windows this would take on a really sinister look.Thanks for sharing.

You're a brave soul to attempt this in the first place.The extra weight the second engine will out of necessity call for some really creatively sturdy front suspension and frame cross members.A quick internet search finds a 426 hemi engine weighs in at approx 750 pounds so that x 2 = 1,500 lbs of motors.

I really look forward to seeing this at the Toledo NNL.This is a truly inspired build!

Crisp,clean,well photographed and nicely proportioned hot rod.Thanks for sharing your scale vision with us.

I certainly agree about parts robbing for kits in our stash.I have always said unless you are going to build an exact replica of the model as it appears on the box art...it's all raw material.

I am building Visible top types from the early 1900's.

What a great build!I like the long and low look of the finished model.Thanks for sharing your process with us.

As a builder of a few of these kits myself I must say I approve of the direction yours is taking!Thanks for sharing.

Nice work!Do have any WIP photos of that most excellent Coke machine under construction?If so please post them as inspiration for us mere mortals modelers.Thanks for sharing your talent and vision.

Sounds like excellent news to me as I am still in the planning and information gathering stage.Please keep me posted!

You did this it proud Al.It's nice to a stock build finish this nicely.Thanks for sharing with us.

Nice build with beautiful finish and sharp photography.Thanks for sharing.

If either of ou are intrested in seeing the original inspiration that started this build pm me your email address and I'll send some photos.Thanks again.I put the finished bed in place today.

Thanks guys!These were both very helpful.I have already cut out the floor of a new bed to insert the nesessary wood parts.One more hurdle crossed/problem solved.

Please post a link for the tools.Thanks!

Please post a link to your site.Thanks!

I am one year into a very complicated build of a huge vintage delivery truck hauling/delivering five knocked down Ford model T's to a dealer.I am using AMT '25 Fords as my disassembled "New'cars and need some help.One of the vehicles will be a roadster pick with the bed on the truck as a seperate piece.I will be displaying it on end with the bottom and the back panel exposed in plain sight. since the kit part has basically no details there I am wanting to more acurately show those parts more correctly.I have no luck on-line so far.I would like to see some photos of these areas if possible to see if the wood floor boards are visible from the bottom and what details are on the front of that forward bed panel so I can attempt to replicate them. Thanks in advance for your help!

Freakin awsome ride!I would love to hear this on run at full throttle!

Great build!Thanks for choosing to do the red movie version.

That brings back a great vacation memory for me.I built a '69 Camoro convertible from the pace car kit on a vacation when in rained for a solid week.I bought the kit,paint and everything else in a dime store(yes a real 5 and 10 cent store) and thoroughly enjoyed the build.That built car is still on display in my model room. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting these builds.Very nicely done.These were the real cars I lusted after but couldn't afford in high school.I was a junior when we walked two blocks to the local Chevy dealer to see them;A senior in '60 with no money for cars and too poor in '61 to afford anything but a well used '55 Chevy sedan.I still have the brochures I picked on those new model release days though!!

Nice builds on both and clear,sharp photos as well.

Great build!Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely an outstanding project!This is gonna be killah!!
