Bucky Posted April 16, 2018 Author Posted April 16, 2018 I reworked the quarter vents, starting with marking out the vents to be cut: I cut them out with a Dremel tool: I file down the openings to match a template I made from cardstock: Then, I did this mock-up to see how it looks: Looks better than the vents, I think.
Bucky Posted May 14, 2018 Author Posted May 14, 2018 I've been working on blending the yellow and white stuff together. Shot some Plastikote primer on it: Still some filling and sanding to do. The angles between the roof and deck lid are a bit different. Gotta work out the transition between the two.
DumpyDan Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 This is a great idea and you have done an excellant job at it. I once a few years back took a Cougar rear roof and truck and put it on a Mustang, turned out ok, but this looks factory.
Bucky Posted May 15, 2018 Author Posted May 15, 2018 Thanks, Dan! Hopefully the transition won't take too much more work.
GMCMAN52 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Not sure on how I missed the build, But I like it can't wait to see it painted
Flynlo Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 awesome work. Looks just as if Ford (Mercury) would have done it!
Bucky Posted May 26, 2018 Author Posted May 26, 2018 Thanks, Tim! It will have a mild custom theme from here on out.
Pat Minarick Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Looking good , looks like you got the trunk blended in real nice.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 I really dig this. It take one of my all time favorite fast back elements, and blends it with a very elegant body design.
Rider Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 This is very very cool, great stuff. Hope to see it back soon. I have always wished at kit was done of this car.
montelsc Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 pretty cool were they made like that ?? never seen them back in the day
espo Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 Excellent body work . Makes one wonder why Mercury didn't offer this body style.
rsxse240 Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 Fantastic, inspiring work! This makes me want to fastback everything! hahaha I can't wait to see more.

<profile removed> Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 This looks fantastic! I may be repeating what others have said...this really looks like a concept car FoMoCo would have displayed at one of the auto shows back in the day. Excellent work!
Ralph Henderson Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Awesome start. always liked the Ford/Mercury concept cars. This should've been a production car
MrObsessive Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 How'd I miss this one?? EXCELLENT body work........ I LOVE seeing WIP's like this!
