64 Merc

[Hard_2_Handle_454]

When I saw this was coming out I knew I had to have one.  I have always thought these were cool cars.  I used a new paint, dark red for it.  I think it came out great.  Maybe a little issue with hood fit and getting the chassis to the body was not fun.  No other issues other than running out of blue paint for the engine.  Grrr!

I'm like you Eric.  I really like the body style on the 64 Merc.  I swung by the hobby shop to pick one up and he was sold out.  I'm waiting on a call when they come back in stock.  Nice build man.

Very nice Mercury Eric, the red and white combo is a classic look. Well done.

Might be able to pick up one off eBay cheaper.  That's how I get the majority of my stuff.  Though my closest hobby shop is an hour away and may or may not have a good selection.

Very nice. I like the interior, it's quite visible in most shots so the details look great

That's nice.   👍
