1961 Mercury Glue Bomb Restoration

[Tom99]

I was able to get this1961 Mercury convertible, from one of the forum members.

Since it was something I didn't have in my large model collection, I felt it would be worth the effort.

It is painted with Scalefinishes, 1961 Mercury Regency Turquoise.

Here are some before and after pictures.

Great job

I've got a real ratty one of these that I'll get the ambition to restore someday. Not long ago, I found an uptop for it as I think the early '60's Fords and Mercuries were some of the best looking cars as convertibles with their tops up. I'd like mine to look like this one below.

Beautiful shapes.

Beautiful Mercury as others have said. That color really sets it off I think.

Great rescue of a very nice looking Merc! I have a 1960 rebuilder convertible kit in the stash that I hope to get to, maybe next year!
