Porscheman Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I bought this one off ebay for $10.00. It was moulded in that ugly tan. I went to my club meetings and asked for suggestions for colors. Dave Wood said he owned a 1:1 in white with a black vinyl roof. So here it is. Also at Friday nights meeting, this car will be giving to Dave. Everybody should have a model of their favorite car. Thanks for looking. Al PS: I'm recovering from knee surgery and it took me a long time to get down on my garage floor to take these pictures, when my dog Chuck decided he wanted his feet in the pictures . I just coudn't get down again to take more shots. Edited May 12, 2014 by Porscheman
Ramfins59 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 You've done another fine job Al. It's great when you can score anything on EBAY for such a low price. Good luck healing up that knee.
Modlguy Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Great save, Al. Best of luck on your recovery. See you next month.
cobraman Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Looks great Al. Question...... why take pics on the floor ? Good luck with the knee.
realgone58 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I don't mind the dog's feet.......lol........the Merc looks fantastic, and I'm sure your buddy will flip when you give it to him. That was a good score on a '65. I've been trying for one, but I always get outbid. I'll get one eventually!
cartpix Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Very nice. Great shine, on the paint. Chuck seems to like it.

Ray, I think the 60's and the pain med's answer the questions of floor photo's Alan, I got this one under "Buy it Now" on ebay. Some great buys there. Thanks for the nice comments. Al
slusher Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 A real beauty. Very nice color choices. You have built some real sweet models lately...
Tom Geiger Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Hey Al, leave it to you to have a dog named Chuck! We have to get you up off the floor.... Black top.... Gravel..... One old box. One side painted black, the opposite side is white... both those photos were taken in the same position you see the box here, up on the bench on my back deck. The paints I used... a $10 investment. There are other brands as well. The box took about half a can per side. The box is my carrying case too. No reason to be squatting on the floor at all!
Jay t. Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Looks good in white and I love the group shot. Nice work
vintagercr Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 That looks great! Very nice gesture to give it away
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Very nice Al! There's one you don't see every day! Love it! Steve
charlie8575 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I have the c. 2004-05 kit reissue that wasn't molded quite right, so I'm working out an idea on how to fix the big divit in that long stainless molding on the top of the fender. This is a beauty, and I'm sure Dave will love it. Feel better soon. Charlie Larkin
Porscheman Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks guys for the well wishes and the compliments on my Mercury. Tom, thanks for the great idea for picture taking, I'll give it a try. Al
