1960 Mercury Colony Park

hi

I`m starting 2009 theme build for a show in norway called Norwegian challenge. And the theme for 2009 is Mercury.

I`m trying to build a replica of my own mercury

The body is a r&r, going to order bumpers from Modelhaus and maybe wheels. scratchbuild the side woodtrim

UUUHHHHH, Thor, can't post a comment on pics that aren't there.Though I'm sure they're very nice.

Would love to see actual photos, nothing is showing up. I have the same resin. It's fairly incorrect in some details; whoever mastered it made it a "Park Lane" whereas that model never existed from Mercury.

I also plan to make it into a (within reason) correct Colony Park.

Looking forward to seeing your progress, and photos of your real car.

The dreaded red Xs, sounds like you got an idea, in the making, but whare are the picture's?

[Thor]

i dont see any red x`s, but i know my host is having some trouble today.

Mercury did make a Parklane but not as a stw.

My 1:1 car is going thru a frame off resto.

Your home page doesn't work either. I guess your host really is having problems today

hi

i hope the pictures is showing again, beacause i got some progress done today.

i removed the fender skirts, side molding and got it on wheels to check the overall look

Sorry, your photos and website are not working on this end. They weren't working last night, and when I do a check to see if that website works through another site that says if it works, it shows a 500 error.

When I checked "isitup":

HTTP status: 500 - Error

Checking root domain...

No luck. Server or web host is not up.

Here's the site that I visit to see if a webpage is working or not:

Is It Up?

[Thor]

thats very odd. i see both the pics and homepage, at home pc and work pc....?

i just sent an email to my host, maybe they have an answer.

Colony Park from a 1960 brochure I picked up on eBay. Also have a nice hard top that I want to convert to a Colony Park...

I will be watching this thread to see progress.

I will be watching this thread to see progress.

And I will be watching this thread to see if the photos ever show up...

did some work on the roof today, it dodnt look right before so i looked at my car in the garage and i spotted the difference in height of the roof.

i also modified the tailgate.

[Thor]

Hi

some more progress. i`ve made the side wood moldings. got one of them on the car.

also had to move left side b pillar since it was almost a 1/4 inch too far back.

roof is getting close to finished, a little more sanding and some profiles into it.
