49 Mercury Joker-Mobile: Finished

[David G.]

 

Hello All.

In the world of model cars, the 49 Mercury is one of those iconic cars that pretty much every builder takes a crack at. By now, most of us have seen just about every possible custom version that can be built. Chopped, channeled, shaved, lowered, sectioned, ratted-out and dialed in, there are some great builds out there, but I wanted to do something with mine that hadn't been done before.

So here it is, The Joker-Mobile.

The Joker in this world is somewhere between those of Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger. 

 

The decals were a little chunky but not too bad for the most part. I think the lowered rear suspension works well with the overall image.

 

Go ahead, call 911, he loves the attention.

 

The hood is a little warped but that's OK so is the driver.

 

Undercarriage.

 

TNT, a tire iron and a Tommy! What more does a psycho need?

 

Yes he was!

 

There are a few more photos I want to take and post. Probably in the next couple of days as time allows.

Thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment.

Here's one "head to head" with a Batmobile that I built back in 1996.

I still have to get my traditional display case shot.

Thanks,

I like it. If I hadn't seen the 1990's movie I would have thought this would have been from one of the scenes. It would have suited the movie so much better than the Dodge they used, your build has the right comic book look about it.

Thank you Gareth. Knowing the quality of your work, that means a lot to me.
