49 Merc, with a parts box flathead. 

The Interior is a grey/orange combo.

Feedback appreciated.

Nice I like the look. Reminded me Sylvester Stallones Mercury

I love the satin black! That couldn't have been easy!

That was, to quote Bob Ross, "A Happy Accident". I grabbed a cheap can of Basic Black spray paint in a hardware store, I think the brand name was NOW. That was the finish as applied, no additional sanding, no clear coats. Once it was on and dried I liked it enough to keep it that way.

The Stallone car was a `50 Merc Monterey, if you are referring to the movie "Cobra". I've got another `49 kit in a box, and with some minor mods, could probably replicate the movie car.

An excellent choice!
