Mach1revo Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 This build was inspired by a car Drew Hierwarter built and was featured i. The dec. 2009 issue of Model Cars Magazine. I started with the Revell 5 window coupe. I am using the engine , wheels and tires fro Revells 49 Merc coupe. The rear end came from Revells 37. So far i have channeled the body Shortened the frame and removed the tank. Put i the 37 crossmember and drilled out the axles to take the pins from the merc. 4
Foxer Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah for another Right Coaster! Even though the unchopped top is a sign of whats called East Coast Rod, most of our '49 Mercs are LOW! My current build is so also. Gonna be watching this to see how it comes together.
Mach1revo Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah Jim these car things go together quick!! Honestly i enjoy building everything but if youve ever built an old AMT truck kit you know nothing fits and everything needs to be modified and fixed. These new revell kits go together good.
Mach1revo Posted October 25, 2012 Author Posted October 25, 2012 I believe im leaning towards this color combo
bryan_m Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 nice start, that red n white color combo looks great too! cheers bryan
mrm Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 This is really cool. I have a very similar east coast Deuce 5 window in the works too.
crazyrichard Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 great start and it looks great with the original roof hight !! love the red and white idea , very very classy
