W-409 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 That last picture is truly amazing. Shows that there are no mistakes, and paintjob looks incredible! Color is very good too. Great conversion, but I'm not sure about that rear end. It should look bit more '49 Mercury, I think. But it's not bad, now it only looks like too flat, without Mercury's great body shapes. But that's just a little thing, really nice model indeed. Maybe bit smaller wheels should look good too, but those aren't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty close to reality, without the wood Edited September 13, 2011 by zelkam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Great build! I'm a wagon guy from way back, and I've done a couple of transformations like this in the past too, but now you've inspired me to do a conversion like this using the Nomad roof on a '49-'54 Chevy coupe. With the exception of the rear fenderline, I'll be borrowing liberally from your design - slender, sloping pillars, for instance, and a tailgate with the same angle and in the same plane as the back glass. Unfortunately, my "To Build" list is a couple of dozen models long at the moment, so it may be a few years before I get around to it!
