Mercuryman54

The Monogram 1955 Ford pickup/panel truck grille may/should work. And may also have other specific 55 parts. To my eyes the AMT body is the best for those years of pickups.

A few more pictures. The rear bumper is getting closer. All the "wood" is added. And I had to do a mock up with the chassis. Still a lot of tweaking to do on all of it.

Sure do miss Modelhaus!!!

Fantastic!!! I like it!!! I bought a 1:1 1977 F-250 highboy new. I've always loved this body style.

Looks sharp!!

I probably won't get one, lord knows I have enough kits already!!!! But it's nice to know that Revell has realized that there is a problem and they are doing something about it!! Maybe this will relate to other kits also.

Here's some pictures of the engine and chassis. I have to do some more details like brackets, wires and lines. Exhaust pipes left long until get everything finalized at the back with taillights and bumper placement.

Excellent!!! I like it!! I'd like to build one but I think I've got too many projects in my head already .

Posting a few pictures of 1:1 Mercury wagons showing maybe a little better of how the taillight extensions are longer on the wagons. I may need to shorten them a bit. But for me it's easier to shorten than extend. Thanks for looking, Dennis

Working on the rear bumper. Also quarter extensions. The work and comparison on the dash. 1953 Ford at the start and the Mercury dash, all still need much work!!! The Mercury dash looks a little funny, I think it's the camera angle. Still a lot to do.

Cool and classy!!! I like it!!

Very nice!!!

Very, Very nice!!!

Very nice build. Excellent paint work!!

Great looking Dodge!! Well done!!

It's curbside ?. Just sez'in.

Well it has started!! 1954 Mercury Woody in on the Workbench. Hope I survive!! Thanks for looking. Dennis

Here we go!! A few pictures of the changing of the wood on the sides. Hood roughed in and taillight extensions. Started reshaping of the front wheel openings. All of the work so far is just roughed in. Also scratch building/modifying the Lindberg 1953 Ford interior. Comments welcome. Will post as it progress allows. Thanks for looking, Dennis

Here's the Mercury pictures. For some reason they didn't make it on the first post.

This is my first on the Workbench post. Hang on this may be a long one?. I started with a Jimmy Flintstone 1953 Ford Woody. I'm starting out with pics of the resin woody, a 1:1 53 Ford woody and a few pictures of 1:1 1954 Mercury Woodies. This is to show the difference between the two. I'll be adding as life allows. I have most of the body roughed in and all the wood changes. I'm carving the bumpers out of glued up styrene. I have measured my 1:1 1954 Mercury Sun Valley for general parts they have in common. But a lot of what I do is by eye. You all will be the judge?. Thanks for looking. Dennis

I have posted several builds in the Under glass section, but never in the Workbench section. I have started a project using the Jimmy Flintstone 1953 Ford Woody. I have pictures of the progress. The question I'm asking is should I start the workbench build post? This will/may be a long drawn out build. So should I just jump in and post as I can or wait until it's closer to completion? This could take awhile. Just asking. Your input is welcomed. Thanks, Dennis

I have a original AMT 1967 Bird still in the box. Someday!!!

Nice bird!! Great color!!

I believe the engine you transplanted into your very nicely rebuilt T-bird is actually a Ford 427 cammer (SOHC) single over head cam. Looks good!! Dennis

Nice work and beautiful color!!!!!!
