Steve H. Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 I kept telling myself it wasn't in the schedule... No new projects... I have other stuff I want to build! After seeing all the Merc projects, I had to get started! Plus, This is a really well done kit and it deserves a build! Pretty simple stuff so far... Removed the B pillar and will replace it with a curved molding... Smoothed out the fender line dog leg (never liked that feature ) I'm strongly influenced by the Hirohata Merc, but not to the point of cloning it. I've got a few other subtle mods I'll probably do... but I'll update on those later.
Matt T. Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Looks great, Steve! I think this seals it - my next one will be hardtopped. Just removing that pillar really changed the look. You shaved the drip rail too, right? The curved glass trim will be so nice.
Steve H. Posted September 13, 2007 Author Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) I haven't seen anyone do either of these mods yet, so at least I'm ahead of the pack, for now . The Hardtop chop really does change the look, actually makes the lid look lower. Yes, The drip rail is gone now. After body mods, I'll probably go with 99% kits parts to finish it. Still haven't decided on a color... Alclad green/gold flip over black or copper pearl... Decisions, decisions! Edited September 13, 2007 by Steve H.
