Great Build! Nostalgia Modeling at it's Finest! Good Show.

I'd look at 1/32 scale car kits too. Some of the Monogram and Revell Snap Kits in 1/32 from the 1970'-80's have wheel and tires that might work nicely.

But, many Modelers will be happy that it did. Good Show, Atlantis!

I really Like this build. Using the factory Two-Tone on the bed unifies the whole thing. It looks very real, and something that would have been seen back in the day. Very Sharp Build! Good Show.

Way Cool! Good Luck with the Paint!

I started mine as a Beater, with the hub caps from the Ford Cruising Van.

Les, How goes the Lowrider Build? I'd really like to see this car built in that style!

And, I've figured out what Chassis I'll be using. The 1921 Oldsmobile Chassis from Granny's Hotrod. I wanted a Beefy Chassis, and my choices Are Few. The 1907 Thomas Flyer, the 1912 Stutz Bearcat, or the Olds are about all that is in Kit form, and in my stash of kits. I may test fit the Flyer Chassis, though, as the Chain Drive seems mandatory for an Aero-Engine Racer.

Thank You, Ace. I had not known about the Olds Head trick, but I will keep it in mind for a T Speedster Build.

I've worked with a couple of those guys. The worst part is those are the guys who think they are "Master Mechanics".....

Thank You, Eric.

Man. A Home Run build of a seldom seen kit! Good Show.

I like it. That shade of Blue works well on that kit. Good Show.

Great Build! The Silver is a great choice, and the Wire Rims really set it off nicely! Good Show.

Wow! What an awesome Build. Good Show.

So Does the Dan Fink kit.

The Red Toothbrush Handle trick dates way back into the 1950's-60's. It was a hint in the Fisher Body Craftmans Guild contest handbook for building 1/12 scale "Dream Cars".

Glad to have you here, Christian! You will find many modelers here who share your interests, and are some of the best, most helpful folks around. Alan

You are correct, John. Those are great plates too.

Can you please make sure it has 4 or 5 sets of Canadian License Plates? Some Saskatchewan plates would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think that the 5.0 Litre H.O. Ford engine will be exactly as it was, the last time the kit was out.

It will be very interesting to see what wheels, ect, Revell puts in the box for this version of the Sedan kit! I know my stash needs a couple of these.

Were these Merc's ever offered as 4x4's? Or is that something I'd have just kit bash and pass off as a conversion?
