FenderMender Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Crash Dummies Garage has done it again. This time a 1961 Mercury Monterey convertible named "Wonder Woman" continuing their Matte White Convertible Series. This is their second convertible following the successful completion of the "Great White", a customized 1961 Imperial Convertible. The Mercury glue bomb was acquired again from the Looney Tuners Garage's 1960s leftover bits and pieces. It is a real wonder that this car was ever completed by the Dummies as it had giant deep depressions in the quarter panels due to fender skirts having been heavily welded thereto. Large chunks of the skirts were completely bonded in such a way that removing them by sanding would have resulted in the elimination of the panel itself! The Dummies came up with a highly specialized knife blade and were able to contour the panels after having gotten within a millisecond of giving up on the entire project altogether. Adding to the quarter panel problems were: no hood, no engine, no windshield glass, odd windshield frame, no dashboard, no steering wheel. The positives were: spinner hubcaps, good grille, good convertible boot, and good rear end with original taillights. A dashboard was formed from either a 1961 or 1965 Lincoln Continental. A hood was made from fiberboard and the engine block from an early Ford. Thanks for looking... "Wonder Woman" with the "Great White" 8
heyjohnxx Posted April 13 Posted April 13 I hope when I build mine it'll turn out half as nice. I was given the unbuilt kit 30 years ago and haven't done anything with it. I like that it is the oldest kit in my stash.
