John Teresi Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Hello......I decided that I want a 2 n` 1 version of the this "Mercury Rising"......it will be a convertible roadster or a "Bubble Top".......I started construction on the bubble top......I used the bubble top from the re-release of the Monogram `58 Thunderbird........I cut the bubble in 1/2......it`s in the rough stages but, I will shape and fit to the body......thank`s for looking.
John Teresi Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 few more progress photo`s.......thank`s

351 cleve Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I'm lovin it...actually I'm in the planning stages of a very simular work....recently picked up a 51 chevy convert I will be building full custom. Ive been wondering how to build a good looking tonneau, I think you're idea is spot on. I really look foward to seeing this one as it progresses. Good work, keep us posted!
Dr. Cranky Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Wow, the eye candy keeps flying out of this build. Amazing developments with this build. Keep it going, you definitely have EYEGORE salivatin' big time!
John Teresi Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Hello......not much of a progress......this bubble top was a pain....... and I still need to put a front lip on it and a few adjustment`s........I will work on the door hinges tonight......thank`s for looking.
John Teresi Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 few more progress photo`s.......thank`s
Nitrozilla Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Here I am chiming in late as usual. I'm learning something new with every picture John. What are you going to use for a motor? Jet, Turbine, Hemi, Twin Six-Bangers Side X Side, Hamster in a REALLY big wheel? Sweet Stuff as per normal, man. Build on, build on, and then build some more.
LAone Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 all this hard work is going to pay off. i can see it, its gonna be killer.

Joe......I think this time I`m going to use a Electric Hybrid engine......because of all the high gas prices now day`s.

crazyjim Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I liked it better before the bubble top but it sure is looking good.
