    Please... Not the Revell Merc. It is hideous
  2. Sledsel
    I expect the Lil Red Express truck, 57 Fairlane, Wild Hoss Bronco, Wildcat and Cougar Funny car from AMT. The Flip nose 57 Chevy, Chevy Monza and Slingshot Fiat dragster These are merely guesses based on previously released kits

    I am liking it so far. The Desoto grill would be good if the teeth were installed straight. Try an AMT 56 Ford front bumper. The Chevy bumper just looks to big and clunky.

    Looking great. I like this kit, but the tires are to narrow..... IMO
  5. Sledsel
    The only finished ones I have for now
  6. Sledsel
    I like it.... a lot! Not overdone, just a cool custom Merc.

    Kinda has a camo look to it
  9. Sledsel
    That is odd... never noticed it on the kit I had, but it has been traded off, therefore, I am no real help
  10. Sledsel
    Looking good..... Looking forward to progress. Any color thoughts?

    I prefer Purple Power. Less mess That is an old kit dating back to 1964. A little paint work underneath and add some hoses using solid core wire (it keeps its shape when bent) and you will have a good looking kit

    The 74's did not have crank rear windows and yes, the 72 seats are different unless it is a standard bench.

    Ohhhh... these threads are so fun!!!!

    Watching this build for sure. Heard some bad hings about these kits, so I am glad to see this. Love the "Only feed the left bank" intake manifold! LOL

    is that the Krylon Shimmer Purple? Looks great. I like a lot of flake, especially for customs My vote is white interior, great contrast.
  16. Sledsel
    Great looking build. Not getting into those wheels and tires tho. But that is just me. It would be great to see this again, but it became the Monaco police car
  17. Sledsel
    Very cool. Glad it was posted here or I had never seen it
  18. Sledsel
    This has Projekt clear over flat black. No rubbing done to it
  19. Sledsel
    That and the PlastiKote projekt clear. Goes on like glass. Both enamel base, so covering Duplicolor is easy
  20. Sledsel
    I have had real good luck with Krylon Hobby Clear.
  21. Sledsel
    Those build up nice.
  22. Sledsel
    Cool dio..... I have an observation for the future. The valve covers on the center engine are on the wrong sides. The more square end goes to the front. On a 1:1 it is for cam gear clearance. I did it too, so don't feel bad. I doubt I will ever correct mine.
  23. Sledsel
    Yea, they like to mess with us. I know when I am unsure, I look up reference photos and trial fit..... A LOT!
  24. Sledsel
    Another beautiful '57 from you....
  25. Sledsel
    Very nice, LOVE the color scheme. Going with the stripes? Wish I has seen the build earlier.... Not a knock, but you made a boo boo..... if you do another, this is the correct distributor location, in the block next to the water neck (although, it looks okay all built) Kinda cool I found a 1:1 the the same color
