'49 Merc extreme custom

[bobthehobbyguy]

Really nice. The revised front wheel wells look a lot better.

So much has been done to 49 merc's but I think a great fresh idea.

Keep up the good work.

Any thoughts on color?

I want to modify the Chezoom frame i have for this car to incorprate the details of this frame.

I'm not worthy of even attempting a build like this. But I'll watch. And I'll learn.

[sbk]

Yep, it's bad.

This is so cool! Don't know how I could have missed this.

[Trans Am Erik]

Thanks guys! Hopefully I can get to finishing up the rear end soon. I still haven't decided what exactly to do with the exhaust. Maybe threogh the rear valance or even side exit after the rear wheels, any suggestions, photoshops welcomed. For the front I am thinking about going with a bar grille but am wondering what a thick grille like a Ford Fusion would look like.

How's this?

[91blaze]

I like the idea of a side exit exhaust for this car.

[Trans Am Erik]

Thanks David, that does look really cool. Lately i've been smoothing out the nose and A pilars. As soon as i have some significant progress I'll post more pics.

I changed the peakes of the rear fenders so they will match up with the center of the tail lights.

[Trans Am Erik]

Thanks

The rear wheels are off a Jada die cast car.

I love watching this build! Really talented stylist, great eye!

[Guest Darkside Customs]

Whoa!! Dang , that looks killer!

[CemetaryAngel81]

Man it takes guts to do what you did,the whole thing is killer in my book!

[boatsnhoes1212]

ahh thanks do you know where to buy the jada car rims or do you have to but the whole car just for the rims?

Yeah I'm afraid so. Try Pegasus Hobbies though they may have something comperable.

I am really enjoying watching this build and still can't get over how well you are pulling this all together.

[Ace-Garageguy]

This thing really has some sweet lines. It takes some talent to integrate all these design elements and have it actually work, and you're doing a fine job. Looking forward to seeing it slicked out.

This is definitely something that would be worth building in 1:1.

At first i was thinking what were you thinking ! But after I have watched it flow together it is taking shape rather well.
