Great looking work area! Is that steering wheel out of a kit or a custom piece?

Interesting Mercury... Your bench is looking good too. You have very great building subjects out there. Also tools are looking great... Can't wait to see great models from your bench.

EDIT: Engine detailing looks amazing.

I had a few of these lying around along with some pumps. Hoppin Hydros makes some very similar ones now

Here's another WIP.

A 65 impala and a mock up of it

Nice bench and set up. May it provide you with many great years of styrene addiction! Cheers.

Nice bench and thanks for sharing your in progress work!

I'd be a bit concerned about that ladder hung up over the workbench though!!

Thanks for your concern. It's been up there for years and it still hasn't hit me in head.... Not that I can remember anyways hahaha

Here's an update on the Merc. I foiled it up and one last coat of clear after the pic

Great job on the merc! Your workbench is very well organized. Very good job wiring that engine. Are those aftermarket pulleys?

Thanks for your compliments and good eye! They are! It was a 5 pulley set but used only what I needed for this kit.

So you like to build Lowriders ? That's great. Impala looks really good too, and I've rarely seen '49 Mercury built Lowrider, but that one looks pretty cool to me.

[Janne Herajärvi]

wow, i have about exact same color in my 65 Impala project too.. Nice, keep us posted

i think i like the cuda best, that aircleaner looks great (dont think ive ever seen it on a model before but ive seen it on every other 1:1 mopar)

and those slapper bars make it look mean

[IceMan Collections]

Pretty much done

[High octane]

Nice workbench and I like your parts cleaner too!

[IceMan Collections]

Now I can get back to the 65 Impala. Some mild patterns

[IceMan Collections]

And a few more on my bench

Which wheels should I go with??

[wgflatliner]

on the 65 once the frame is built up the first rims will look better. this is my opinion of course.

[Jairus]

Nice work, good photography and welcome aboard!

[Dr. Cranky]

Ditto. I love the graphic work!
