Resin '49 Merc convertible

[Lyle Willits]

Well, Reps & Mins finally was able to get this in resin after about a 10 month wait. All ya need now is a Revell '49 Merc donor kit.

Body has fade away fender lines. Carson top is separate. Big round tailight holes are smoothed over so that any tailights can be used

Nope. Although Norm always gives me the first one out of the molds, I told him to sell them in Toledo and I would get mine later. So,,,,,I got mine yesterday at our meeting. I painted and detailed the sub-assemblies many months ago while waiting for Norm to get this thing into rubber.

Looks great Lyle, I will make sure to get one later myself, didn't even know Norm was making a convertible one but then again, I have been away from the building table for a while now...

Very nice, Lyle!!

I really like the look of the car with the top down!

(Is that OK to say on the forum? )

Any chance of just ordering the carson top?

[John E. Bowers Jr.]

I was very close to buying one of these at Saturdays M.A.M.A. meeting. Went outside to have a smoke and to prioritize my future build plans. After some turmoil I decided that the Merc wasn't even close to the top. Too much to do, so little time. Great progress so far and I know I'll see the outstanding final outcome of this build in December at the FEAST!

Sure. Norm doesn't advertise individual parts from kits, parts he will gladly sell you just the Carson top. To do that though, you will have to call him directly to get a price.

I made that top to EXACTLY fit this body, so if you're going to wack the roof off another car, leave extra material on the first cut and work slowly to get the roof and body contours just right.

Thanks Lyle, I will do just that. Much appreciated.
