Looking good Michelle! Looks like its ready for a trip to the beach...

Looks great. Niec job on the disection!

I know how frustrating that can be. I usually start with the body on my builds, then go from there. All craft paints are not created equal

Looking sharp. What color are going with?

Both cars look great!

Looks great. The detail on the engine is killer. Looking forward to more on this!

Could be. I will build another one some day

Amazing work!

I’ll be following along with your build as well. The thing I learned from this kit is to test fit everything! I must have somehow gotten the engine in mine too far back. The shaker didn’t line up with the hole I. The hood and the radiator hoses were too short.

Thank you for the kind words! Just have some fun with it.

It was a challenge. I did my best and am not a perfectionist! There is a build thread and an under glass thread as well Here are a couple pics form my build thread:

Bit of an update. I sanded the sprue sticking through the holes with an Emory board used for fingernails then wet sanded with 400 I think it came out pretty good. Definitely can’t feel them. The ones on the fenders turned out about the same. I also used the emory board to finish removing the drip rails and rear window trim I did get some gray primer shot on it and will see how it looks tomorrow

Looking good. I like the look of the continental kit

Looking good. I enjoyed building this kit for sure.

Great build! I love this car and your take on it is top notch

Last night a tried stretching some sprue to fill the holes for the light bar in the roof I think it came out ok. Im going to have lots of sanding on this one for sure. The drip rails were as wavy as can be, I shaved them off as I am planning on getting the body as smooth as I can. I also used stretched sprue for the antenna hole in the quarter panel and the spotlight holes in the top of the fenders.

Thanks for following along David! I have enjoyed watching your builds

Thanks! I am leaning toward dark metallic gray with red interior. There is a lot of body work to do on this one!

Hello all, I finally am getting back to the bench with a ‘49 Mercury Police Car I picked up cheap at Ollie’s. Super basic, but I’ve been wanting to try my hand at some mods I’ve been seeing on the site and thought this was a good candidate. I am going to try to turn this into a curbside street machine. First thing is to fill the holes in the roof where the light bar goes. I’ll probably try to stretch some sprue to the correct size. I even bought real glue! No more orange tube on the bench. Wish me luck I need to source some drag slicks and wheels so I can get a plan on how to modify the chassis. I may loose the skirts

Looks really good. I dig the colors! Where are the tires from?

Really looks great! Excellent paint work

That really looks great! Amazing work

Looks Killer, Mike! The wheels a great fit for it

Looking forward to the pic! I'm getting back to the bench tonight to start a new project

Agreed! Have you mentioned what color you are going with?
