Silvercreeker Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 The "Mer-low" is done. This is a 1949 Revell Mercury Chopped Sedan. This was what was a typical 50’s custom Leadsled. It was lowered 3” in front and back. Color is a Ford Merlot Burgundy, with 2k clear. Engine is the 331 Cadillac from the kit, (which makes this a typical “Mercillac” from the era) with VCG Resins carbs, air cleaner. Protech sparkplug wires, boots and wire dividers and an Iceman distributor and coil. Iceman interior door handles and arm rests. Valve stems are scratch built. Ken’s fuzzy fur carpet and dice and lastly Detail Masters speaker grills on the back dash. All chrome was stripped and replaced with Revell Chrome, and trim is Bare Metal foil. License Plates and dash are from Best Model Car Parts. Enjoy. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Payne Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 One of the nicest Mercs I have ever seen! Plenty of go with that Offenhauser equipped engine as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Beautiful paint color and finish. The added engine detail enhancements look great. Like how you did the interior. Maybe someday Revell will reissue this kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Nice looking build Scott. Great color choice. That 331 engine looks pretty sweet setting in there. I built the AMT kit but not the Revell yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
