Man that will be a stunner after it's foiled! Stock wheels and tires?

Wow!

The 17s do look great, but the nice thing about your larger diameter ones is that the tires do have some nice sidewall, they're not the dreaded rubber bands, so for me, either works. It's a very large car so it can handle the look of 20s and 21s. I'd say it depends on how modern the other mods will be.

Man that interior is fine looking! Love the seats and belts, awesome!

Very cool! Why didn't Revell do it? No matter, now we can get one from you, right?

Nice work on a very nice resin body! Did you get the firewall too, I did!

I do love mockups, but in the case of this pickup the finished version actually is cooler!

After getting all the chassis and running gear in place, it's time to set up the body:

Much nicer flow to the roof and a bit more T-Bird as well. Great decision!

Oh wow, that is so cool! That underside is off the chain! Love the stance, custom interior, great engine, well I love everything about it! Can't wait to see more, I just LOVE this kind of build!!

Very nice! Great color!

If that roof has a nice flow to it, this mash-up can be gorgeous! That illustration is sure beautiful. I KNOW you'll make a fantastic model!

Wow, that is one sweet conversion! I don't think anyone else has done that, and it looks so natural, nice! There are so many attempts at 'Cheros, and 'Caminos that just don't look right, this one does! I hope the roof isn't too high at the back, I know it's not glued yet.

Very nicely done, I like the painted rims.

This is an old build but I thought they were some cool "mock up" pics:

That's certainly along the lines of what I and probably a thousand others want to do to that kit! Thank you for showing us, we can see how it looks already, keep it going!

That looks great! I love doing all kinds of heavy mods like you did to make this work. The thing to keep in mind all the way is, since you've basically re-engineered the kit, "HOW can I assemble these pieces once they're so modified"! You've done it, isn't it so rewarding!

Greg, thanks so much for the carbs, yeah they look as good as the originals.

Some of you know from another post that I lost the use of my hands a few weeks ago, HOPEFULLY only a temporary thing, they're so swollen that I can't hold anything. So, this Merc was my latest, hopefully not my last, project. I was saving this much progress to make a series but I'll just post it now, because I like to keep in touch with you all. This is where the chopped '64 Merc project stands, 351 Windsor, 4 Webers, Tremac 6-speed. Cheers, NO SYMPATHY please, just model comments!

It's a very old picture from my files but I do have a few Ferrari kits!

Wow, I didn't know where Deerwood Manitoba is, now I know. Great model! Stay warm, cheers!

Beautiful build and great story. We'd love to see it at one of our Winnipeg Model Car Club meetings! The third Sunday of every month except July and August. St. Alphonsus hall 341 Munroe at 11 til 1. Love to meet you and see your cool model!

Very nicely done!
