An old-school custom from back in the day when the only way to do it was to chop the AMT kit.  Paint is custom-mixed Testors enamels to come up with a metallic cherry cola shade.

AMT '49 Merc. This represents one of my most extensive custom jobs, to date. I pancaked the hood and trunk. Fabricated a forward tilt hinge for the hood. Tamiya blue and green paint.

I started this custom Mercury four years ago....

I'm using an old AMT '67 Cougar rebuilder I got off the well known auction site, with the fastback roof from a "Snakebite" Shelby kit. I've got it this far. Hopefully, soon, I can get back to work on this one.

Now this is a custom Merc. Outstanding mods.

Here's mine. Chopped two and sectioned three scale inches. Draped over the Foose Caddy interior, chassis and drivetrain.

Hi Roger!

The term that comes to mind is... sanitary! Very tasty mash-up. Bravo!

Wow! I must say, all fantastic Mercury's 

My Custom Mercury is a very modern take on a '71 Cougar. This is a work-in-progress still, one day I'll get motivated to finish this one.

Love the golden color on this one! Side view is especially nice.

Hi Jim! 

Great design, and the body mods make it truly contemporary. Bravo!
