Rebel Without A Cause '49 Mercury

[avidinha]

I've had this kit in my stash for about 20 years and I finally figured out how I wanted to build it. I built it mostly box stock, but had to make a few modifications to make it look more like the movie car. I shaved the emblems off the hood, I used aluminium tubing for the exhaust tips, I cut down the fender skirts so they would fit more flush and I had to narrow the rear track width so the wheels would fit under the modified skirts, I also added a screen correct license plate.

Very nicely done. I built my own a few years ago but mine is not as shiny as yours,

Great looking Mercury.  Very well done.  I've tried to build the AMT kit, and it's been a nightmare.
