Having almost finished up a 49 Merc I am starting on another. The next one will have more custom work done. What I am doing is wanting to drill holes right over the 3 carbs on the engine. My idea is to use some aluminum tubing instead of the 3 air cleaners and want them to come through the hood. I am not sure how the best way would be to make sure the holes I drill will be lined up exactly in line with the 3 carbs. Suggestions very welcome. Thanks !

I echo what has already been said. Very nice !

Wow ! You are doing a fine job with this die cast.

Got a chance to work on the Merc for a bit. Sorry for the poor photos. I think I messed up a setting on my camera.

Very nice work !

Very nice buggy. Are those the stock headlights ? They seem a little large but maybe it's me. Good job !

I built that box stock several years ago. It really looks pretty good when done.

Very nice. I like it !

I have to agree, the colors look good.

Doc, you sure are right. I am in the middle of building this kit and picked up another at Hobby Lobby today with the 40 % coupon. I already have the next one planned in my mind. The trouble is that my mind can plan out models my hands just can't create. Doesn't stop me from trying.

Excellent model for a first build. Well done.

Thats wild !

Went to Hobby Lobby this morning and picked up another 49 Merc. Had the 40 % off coupon so I got the kit for about 13 bucks.

Very nice work.

53 ?

Even though I'm sure it's just a rebox I will pick up the Shelby Cobra for the collection. The Foose cars look like they have potential. The art is one thing and the model may another. We shall see.

Looks good. I really like the color.

I like that. Looks like a nice clean application to me.

I don't build them but I love looking at them. Look at the great paint and the detail on some of them. I like seeing any models that are well built. Look what Ira does with these types of kits, beautiful work. I wish I could do as well. Also if there were/are popular it give/gave model companies more cash flow to help finance the more detailed and realistic kits as well as possibly drawing in buyers who otherwise may not have gotten into the hobby. Just my opinion.

Man ! That thing is looking very good.

Welcome. That is a nice clean AWB.

Man ! That is real nice.

That turned out great ! I am working on the same car. You just can't have too many 49 Mercs in my opinion.

Nice, the flames look real good with that color.

Thats different. I like it.
