Mercury 49 roof off

[vancouver71]

Hi guys,

I re-post my topic, it's been removed I do not know how.

I cut the roof off,extended the trunk and I quickly build Hinges to see how it will looks like.

Need to buy the right stuff to make those hinges looks better now.

Nice idea, that's a really cool way of doing the trunk opening. This will be a unique build.

today I applied the Gold Base coat from Testors.

Here is the result.

i am going to buy the Duplicolor Metalcast (blue) today for the top coat.

I am also going to Michaels Craft to buy a sheet of leather for the interior.

thank you guys

Quick update:

The paint on the body came out pretty good and smooth.

As I taped the hood and trunk to "design" strips,the tape didn't (or did not!!) stick properly and everything was bad... Just sink the hood and trunk into Pine Sol Degreaser.

Started the engine yesterday.

Thank you guys.
