64 Merc Colony Park Wagon finished and ready to cast.

[Paul Hettick]

Here's the finished body and rear bumper. The interior can be seen in my previous post.

Will these come with plated parts Paul?

[Paul Hettick]

Well almost finished, now I see a few spots that need attention.

[MrObsessive]

Just the same, that looks nigh perfect Paul!

I used to hate wagons when I was a kid and then later when I started driving, now I wouldn't mind one because you don't see them, and I'm certainly not a fan of SUV's or minivans!

Very nice..

[Greg Wann]

Hey Paul,

  You are making some very nice master parts as usual.  Who will be making the molds for you?

[Kris Morgan]

Very nice. Gonna have to grab one of these.

I'm likin' your wagons and may be interested in one or two when you start to sell the resin copies. What is the name of your company? Thanks.

[Ron Hamilton]

I can see one of them in Black, with a red interior on my shelf.

Paul just on the slim chance would this body fit the '66 mercury? I have an extra one of those but no extras of the '64's

[vintagercr]

Paul, this is looking killer

[disabled modeler]

One word....Awesome...!

Maybe, but note that the 65 Mercury is completely different from the 63-64. Interior is different, and the chassis changed from leaf springs in the rear to coils and front suspension changed too.  Frame also totally different.

If you have a 64 Galaxie that would be closer as a donor.

Is it possible to purchase the Galaxie Wheel Covers for the '66 MY ? Thanx .. 

[Paul Hettick]

Thanks for your kind words everyone. I will try and answer a few of the questions. Yes they will have plated parts, a 66 Merc kit wont work because it doesn't have the correct hood or front bumper. I will be offering a 66 Merc Colony Park trans kit in the future. What are the Galaxie wheel covers for the 66 MY?

[dimaxion]

Not the ones in the MY Kit or Promo  Those are XL , not Galaxie . Thanx ..  

[sfhess]

The Revell Bronco has wheel covers similar to 66 Galaxie covers.

[Paul Hettick]

still not sure what a MY kit is. btw the caps that come in the 66 AMT kit were optional across the board from 66 to 68.

[ChrisBcritter]

MY=Model year.

I was hoping the Bronco wheelcovers (the rear ones without the 4WD hubs) would be correct for a regular '66, but from what I hear, they're undersized. Can anyone measure a set and tell us the actual diameter? Maybe they can be adapted with a ring around them.

Chief Joseph/Fireball Modelworks offers the Bronco/'66 Galaxie wheelcovers in corrected form.

[socal76]

Only reason I asked about the '66 Merc is that I have an extra of that but not the '64 Merc. Guess I will have to sacrifice one of my Nascar builds for a wagon!

[ranma]

How Much? and how do we get one?????

[Michael in Illinois]

Yes, I'm interested as well.

[ranma]

Once again I'll ask: how much and how do we get one? Do you have a web site that you sell from?

[Paul Hettick]

These will not be available until late summer/ early fall. Sales will be through ebay. No website at this time. No plans on starting a mail order business as I don't have the time now. That may change in the future. Thanks for your interest.
