1949 Mercury Chopped and 1950 ford chopped wild customs!!!!!!! must see!!!!

In the 1949 mercury i chopped the top about a scale 4 inches. I put in different headlight cups and filled it with body filler i shaved the door handles and side trim an i nosed and decked it. I will put in my own custom made teailights they wil resemble the 1949 baby lincoln taillights (they are round). i molded in the fron splash pan an the back splash pan i glued the trunk to the body . the interior i did original i painted it black cherry with white to make it two toned . When the car is finished it will beblack cherry with a clear coat on top of it to make it extra glossy. i need to put in a headliner yet tho it needs it to hide the chop mark from the roof .

The 1950 ford started out as a convertible . i put on the custom front extension with the extended hood i put on the custom chopped from winshield piece and i found and old roof that is about 30 years old from when my dad did models and it was a 1950 ford roof as well. i put that roof on there and now it look like a custom 1950 ford crown victorian. i will do something extremely wild with the back end too i dont want to leave it stock since i customized the front i might paint it a midnight pearl blue with a pearl white top i have no ideas for interior but it will be custom.

Thank you for viewing my cars i will also be posting a 63 riviera which i made a custom hood for and it is one off since i made it, and a custom 55 chevy that i made into a convertible i am basically building the 55 from scratch it is a 30 year old car that my dad started on but never finished along with the riviera. also a 57 chevy will be on here too i have everything except a door if anyone has doors for a 1/25 scale 57 chevy and u dont want it please email me at tommycool666@yahoo.com

Nice work. I have this same kit, and I have modified the wheel well to fit some 22s tucked. I was thinking about chopping the top also

Re: 1949 Mercury Chopped and 1950 mercury chopped wild customs!!!!!!! must see!!!!

omg here's and update on the mercury... i'm not doin so hot with the suspension i'm havein so much trouble making it even and i just notcie that i have the front suspension stock instead of lowered. so i had to cut it up a lil and fix it . i dont liek doin all these modifications but if i want it to look good i have to do it . i will be making my own taillights out of styrene tubing they will be exposed but they will look frenched in. i am almost done with smoothing the chop top out
