1949 Merchero

[crazyjim]

What's a Merchero? A Mercury station wagon cut into a Ranchero. I used HOK galaxy grey and wanted to keep the whole car in shades of grey just to try something a little different.

Thats cool! Nice job

[crazyjim]

Thank you Dave.

Good concept, nice build, Jim, but the colors don't do it any favors, IMHO.

[Harry P.]

I agree it's a neat idea, but what's going on with the wood trim?

[cobraman]

Big fan of your work but I must agree about the wood areas. I don't understand what, why ? Am I missing something ??

[crazyjim]

Thanks guys. Yeah the wood. I wasn't sure when I was doing it and am even less sure now. The plan was to keep the car in shades of grey. I might want to re-think that.

Awesome build, very nice work.

[crazyjim]

Thank you Jonathan.

Hey Jim, I like it. Wish I'd have thought of it first..

[crazyjim]

Thanks Al. I've been planning the Merchero since I built the station wagon.

[crazyjim]

Thank you Lee. Still deciding if I want to rip it apart, strip it, and re-paint.

Jim, The wood panels I would redo but I think this was a cool build and I like the color choice. Nice job.

[crazyjim]

Thank you Anthony.

Hey, you could always just rust it up real good

[crazyjim]

Rust? NOT!

[JunkPile]

Maybe just a little around the edges?

[crazyjim]

No.

[hellonwheelz3]

That's...original. Nice job though.

Love the build mate, like the color on the "metal", but i agree, just do the wood section mate, even if you do it in a dark wood would look even awsomer.!

[crazyjim]

Thank you fellas.
