Lead Sleds, Top Chop, 49` Mercury Hi guys ! Tidied up the attic a few days ago, found a few Mercurys that I once built more than 30 years ago. These are 2 AMT Mercurys in 1:25 scale. At that time I had built the two with roofing (Topchop). Still with patina from the long camps. Greetings from Jan

I was thinking to myself the other day that the UK didn't really have a customising scene in the 50's to anywhere near the extent of the one in the States at that time. That got me thinking what if there was a budding Barris in the UK in the 50's who decided to build a leadsled using traditonal techniques on a British car of the period. Not many cars to choose from in kit form but I thought that the Tamiya Jaguar MkII might fit the bill an set to work.with the "torch" & "lead". The body's been converted to 2 door chopped hardtop and the the front & rear ends have been "tidied up" to make them a little less "busy". The fender skirts are from evergreen plastic sheet. Thanks for looking.

Well after a fairly long break from modelling I've finally picked up a kit & started whacking plastic again with a Kustom Hornet !. Here's where I am currently with the body : Still need some more shaping & sanding on the body mods - I'll try & post progress as I make it. Thanks for looking (sorry for the picture quality) Andy
