BIGTRUCK

The picture on my phone is scrunched left to right, stretched out tall top to bottom on the forum site, if I tap on Bills picture it shows me the original picture from corvetteforum.com and its fine, back to the forum its distorted ....on my laptop the picture is fine. Pretty much I can deal with it, an extra step here or there to make it work is fine with me.

Good lookin Ford, I get bored building things stock, Ive tried it,but I enjoy looking at builds like yours.

Started this build about a week or so ago and its moving a slow but steady pace.Sanded down chassis lines sprayed gloss black and cleared, motor painted Inca gold, extended front fender tops . Body color will be black with black and white interior

Very cool custom, even more a fantastic save.How did you repair all the body lines on the front fenders, the front end on the original build looks gone.

Thats pretty awesome work going on there Bob

Nice work Mark

Nifty little Ford, looks good.

Very cool builds

I just had to go way back and comment on this Merc. I bought a few when they came out like everyone else except mine got tossed on a shelf and sat for years...until now. Ive been building customs this time around on the older re issue annuals and fighting flash, sink holes and whatever , then upon opening and starting to put this Mercury together , holy smokes its awesome. I may be a little behind on some newer kits I never opened , OK maybe 8 or so years behind....but I may not need putty or have to primer it 5 times to get it done.... Im just sayin'

Ford looks good as a "gasser".

Been awhile since I seen this kit built, looks good

Its got all the old skool stuff... fuel, tax numbers and plates, Nice memory lane build.

Pulled a few parts from 65 Chevelle wagon kit and tossed them on the El Camino kit, some Gofer decals.

Alot of detail to that old Chevy Mark, good job.

On my phone the ''cog'' icon means settings, maybe same for here. It worked so Im happy. Thank you Rob.

The photos must have been something to bring out the "Big Cheese", any way , a very informative reply Art, alot of info in your thread.

Very cool, interior is over the top

Very sad news story, I was watching it on the ABC news today, the officer that was killed was to retire after 30 years on the police force, at the end of the month.

Pretty nice '62 , sharp colors

Thats sharp

Got some paint on it and my weathering kit came in, so I tested it out on this build. spent all my time messing with the weathering kit and still have interior and engine to do

Welcome Russ

Changed this build from custom to push car / shop vehicle. I always wanted to do one but never did, and since I wasnt very far into it I was able to switch. I borrowed a few parts from the 65 wagon like push bar and roof light. Tires and wheels are from 66 T-Bird customizing kit. May or may not use topper, Ive been sitting on some great ''GOFER'' service truck decals and now I can use them. El camino paint will be a simple white whith black interior, front bumper was done with Testors ;;CREATEFX acrylic walnut and cocoa bean and blue wash. Should paint body tomorrow.

Looks good, nice custom Buick

Looks great, love that old school custom look, super work..
