catpack68 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Nice!👍 I didn’t know that Jimmy Flintstone did a 51 Mercury chopped body. I will have to grab one of those. Edited March 6, 2023 by catpack68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 You did a fine job fitting the hood to that beast. That's often the downfall of anyone using resin bodies and kit hoods. Nice work indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calb56 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Flintstone bodies seem a lot better than back in the day. I'm looking forward to this build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 That's looking great Tom! I saw that Jimmy came out with those recently.and have been meaning to get a couple. I like your plans. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 There's something about your build that looks so much sleeker than a lot of chopped Merc models I've seen before. That colour will look beautiful when shiny. Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customline Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 This looks like it's going to be a great one; already is, so far. That resin body looks really good. I wonder if it will fit on the '53 Ford frame. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 It's gonna be nice Tom. I seems like Flintstone grafted in a 49-50 back window, or lengthened the quarter panels on a 49 body on this one. Because the back window opening is totally different on the 51 and much larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcaps55 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I love that color on that car that's going to look awesome I have to get some of that from MCW i have a couple of 50 Fords that will look great on nice work can't wait to see this one done.
