This one is going to be a 60's hot rod. I'm going by memory of one that a guy in Akron had. It was Black with a flathead and red wheels with white walls. Here are some pics of where I'm at at the moment. Hope ya like.

Thanks fer lookin. Dan

P.S. I will be making a 49 Ford the same way cause there was one of them there also. These two guys were always racing each other and the Merc always won. We couldin't believe our eyes, the Merc beating the Ford. ;):D

Always good to see an AMT '49 Merc in the works. The '49 Ford kit is also excellent. Mercs were traditionally faster than the Fords of the day. Up into the early '70's, the latest features were introduced in the Mercury and then into the Ford line the following year. Mercury was always Ford's hot rod.

Thanks guys. If my memory is corect, Jim had the front springs cut down and that thing bounced like a golf ball when he hit a bump in the road. It was cool looking though, and fast. I have the interior finished and the frame. All that's left now is to paint the body and BMF it. I'll post pics when I can. Thanks again. Dan
