Revell 49 merc

[Brudda]

Won this at our local club raffle. Not into customs but I thought I would give it a try. Revell 49 merc. Put a 2007 GT  500 supercharged engine with a 6 speed transmission. And the GT500 rear end. Had to modify the rear wheel house and frame to fit the rear tires and wheels. Put a mystic cobra paint job on her and here she is.

The paint job, color and finish, are both beautifully done. Nice interior colors and trim. Too bad it's hard to see with a chopped top. Got the stance right.

Thank you espo. Very hard to see the work in the interior. Very fun build.

Thank you Ray. I liked the build. It went very smooth. Great kit. Might have to build another lead sled sometime.

Thank you Kah puts. I really did not know if that color would work. Thought it might be outdated. But it works somehow.

Thank you Rich. I really did not know if any of my ideas would work. It was a very fun build because you did not have to copy a certain car. A little more freedom on hot rods and customs. Some ideas did not work, like I first painted the wheels gold, and they looked weird. So I went to black. I kept lowering the car after each step. Like when I put the interior in the car the car sat up high. Take the rear end apart and lower again. But overall it worked.

Oh and the paint , I thought the mystic color might be outdated, but somehow it worked out. A lot of this build was luck.

Very nice. If they remake the cobra movie with Silvester  Stalone, they can use something looking like your Merc for it.

Boy....that looks "Gangster".  I'm really diggin this one.  Nice build.  

[FLHCAHZ]

Wow!  That really is a looker.  Very impressive.

I remember following the WIP on this one, it was fun watching it all come together.

The end result is stunning to say the least. The first word that comes to my mind when I see this car is "Voodoo".
