Thanks for your nice comments!

I know there has always been that Ford and Chevy rival but I love both so I decided to combine them. I started with two vehicles. One was a ’49 Merc and the other was a Chevy SSR Pickup. I cut up the SSR and the Merc. Combined the Merc Front and the SSR Bed. I puttied, sanded and primed this beast. I added rear fender molding and drip rails for the doors. A wet sand and then the base coat of black was applied. I installed a ’57 Thunderbird engine and found some seats in the parts box for the interior. I also cut the windows down to fit. I added a cover on the bed to hide the cutout for the rear end. I fabricated front inside wheel wells from styrene. Unfortunately I lost the interior pics – thanks Photobucket! Shes done in hot pink and black and her name is Rosy. After building ole’ Rosy from the Merc and the Chevy SSR P/U, I had the rear of the Merc and the front of the SSR left over…..and what do you know! They look pretty cool together! I added a small width to the rear and glued it together. I cut out the rear fenders and scratch built some new fenders that were close in shape to the front fenders. I also continued the body ridge from the top of the doors to the trunk to make it more ascetically pleasing. I scratch built the headrests and molded them into the body. I filled in the tail light holes and re-drilled for the new ones for the sunken look. I used some brand of blue nail polish for the final color. Thanks for looking and I hope you like them.

thanks again for all your kind comments. I'm glad you like it.

My '64 Merc Marauder. Hot pink and black.

Nice job and nice color! I build one of these and had an issue with that front windshield/door as it's very finicky and doesn't lay right. Is that your workroom, if so it's AWESOME? It looks like a hobby shop.

Beautiful work! I always loved those wheels. That interior looks so real!

Nice clean work. The red wheels really sets it off.

Thanks! I got it on Ebay but I don't remember from what seller.

This is looking really nice. I like the springer front a lot.. Maybe you can drop the front of the tank a little bit. I've been wanting to build a trike also.

I've always loved this car and have been thinking about building it.I got a box of gluebomb planes from a show and found one to use.I traced it out and cut it up. I widened the body and added material.There are only about 5 or 6 angles of the car and none of a rear view. It is mostly scratched build from a plane fuselage. I made the fenders. The catface is made from a type of sculptee. I rolled it real thin and my wife drew the shape. I cut it out and formed it over the head of a duck decoy as it had the best shape then painted it. I also made the eyes and nose and glued it on.I was able to use artistic license as there aren’t many pictures of the car that show all details. For the figures they are from race drivers. I scratch built the heads and all the other details. I'm not the best face painter. Sorry for the not-so-great pics. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Beautiful! I love the glass roof!

Thank you!

thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad I inspired you!

Very nice work! Man I love COE's and delivery vans also the '41 Chevy has the best grille ever!. This covers them all!

thanks for all your kind comments.

Nicely done! A perfect job on the interior, it looks real!

Thanks for the nice comments!

This is the third installment of Psyches Custom Psycles. I took a ’53 Ford delivery and cut out about an inch from the middle. Altered the frame and interior to fit. Scratch built the bumpers, door panels added the front grill from the Lincoln Futura, cut out and hinged the rear doors. Also used stained and sealed wooden coffee stirrers for the floor. The mini bikes are altered and somewhat scratch built. The paint is a color change green/brown over flat black. Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Nice color! I like all the piecing.

Cool '32! I love those rear tires!

Nice work! You could fit lots of people in that wagon!

Thanks for your nice comments! They are much appreciated.
