crazyrichard Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 omg thats gorgeous !!!! and tbh i even love the wheels on the picture ..so curious on the white walls ... again these kind of give the merc a modern twist that fits with the blue paint
Tom Kren Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 UPDATE!!! Shot the clear on it yesterday and rubbed it out today and liked and happy the way it came out now onto the rest of it!
Ira Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Great Colors Tom! My first car was a 50 Ford Woody...
oldnslow Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Great paint combo, ride height is good, even like those wheels, (now add a modern power plant and an all out interior) just my thoughts.
stumay309 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Love it... I really must get one of those kits

Tom Kren Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 yes but having troble finding the right wheels for the look I going for!
Teddy J. Tannehill Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 This makes me think of Surf Boards and the beach.....In my best California Surf Lingo I say "Tubular".....Translated that means Really Really Kool. That is a nice Paint Job.....You mentioned decals. Are you gonn'a put some on the back windows? I remember a Woody that had a Souped up 283 the guy had his "Speed Equipment" decals on the rear window...Gave it kind of a nostalgic look. I am sure what ever you do is going to look great.
Teddy J. Tannehill Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Hi Tom I saw your Post about the Wheels, I remember the early issue of the Revell 56 Nomad had some pretty good white walls. I think if you sanded the plating off the "Steelie" area with the center area masked....Sprayed 'em with some of your "Real Pretty Blue". You could turn those Chevy wheels into some convincing "Steelies" with a small hub cap.
