slammedi'am Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Got this for Christmas and been wanting one...I got it mocked up but got some goodies on the way....Still tossing ideas around in my head Edited January 27, 2013 by slammedi'am
slammedi'am Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 I love that orange color but Duplicolor quit making it and havent searched for it.....
slammedi'am Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 try house of color or local car paint place ( most good ones can custom mix you up some and then put it in a aerosol can for you if you need it ) I got some colors in my head right now Im gonna go for it...I used that orange on a lot of cars lol
Olskoolrodder Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 There cannot ever be too many '49 Mercs built,my friend (have another on my bench as well ),this will be kool!
slammedi'am Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 This is the first one for me...Got the engine painted and started assembly on it....Gotta find out the wiring for the dist on it
slammedi'am Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks..Hope to have it sprayed this weekend..
Olskoolrodder Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Engine looks great,body smooth! The last one I built,I stopped right there on paint,mate black (using the flame decals),LOL! I've built 2 or 3,the one on the bench now is stalled a bit,but I hae a good excuse
my80malibu Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 The engine is sweet the rest of the car isn't too bad either.
crazyrichard Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 great stuff i love the black !! what are the plans , keeping it black or is that a base for some sparkly stuff ??
THarrison351 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Great looking build so far. I need to pull this kit out and start building. So many kits that I need to build before I can't.

kobuzz Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Been seeing all those cases in the background of your pics. How about a look at your display set-up?
