1966 Mercury Parklane

[Alex Flint]

I call this build PINK LADY. It's not actually pink though. It's a Rust-Oleum Gloss Coral with a Testors Color Shift Green Copper over the top. The interior seats is not painted, just detailed. The steering wheel, steering column, and dashboard are painted the same way as the body. The switches on the center console are brass model ship detail parts. The shifters are jewel sequin pins I found at Hobby Lobby. The switch on the left side of the steering column is a brass model ship detail part. The floor mats I designed myself and are printed out on glossy photo paper. The smartphone is made from scratch and the screen is scaled down from a picture I found on Google. The Lowrider Magazine is one of my custom designs with this build on the cover. The mask is another custom design I did in 2020 during the pandemic. The electric guitar is 3D printed on my old filament printer I don't have anymore and is painted to match the body. The box of Kleenex is a cut and fold design I found on Google with a real Kleenex piece in it. The Monster Energy can is 3D printed but the label is one I custom designed for this specific build. The tank top is another custom designed accessory I made. The flip flops are 3D printed and painted to match the body. The postcard is one I custom designed with this build on it. The envelope has my mailing address as the return address and my mom's mailing address as the receiving address. The license plates are ones I custom designed for this build. The windshield sun shade is another one of my custom designs I did for this build. The carpet and headliner is some white craft felt I got at my local JoAnn Fabrics craft store. The chrome trim is done with bare metal foil and the emblems are done with Molotow Liquid Chrome. The suspension, gas tank, and exhaust system is painted with Molotow Liquid Chrome. The wheels are from a Jada Toys diecast car. The engine is wired with pink bead wire I got at my local JoAnn Fabrics craft store. I used a hole punch to punch out a circle of styrene plastic to attach the wires to the distributor easier. The clear coat on this is a Rust-Oleum Gloss Clear Lacquer and is not color sanded or polished. The finish is straight out of the spray can.

Nice work

What I find the most interesting about your build is all of the small details that you created for the interior. Great attention to the painted chassis that otherwise is pretty undistinguishable. Like the paint finish and color.

Great work. I have one of these setting in a box, half done. I need to dig it back out and work on it.
