Change of pace - Kustom 40 & 49 Merc's

Taking a break for tuners for a short while as I'm waiting for some stuff to arrive from HLJ and fancied a change - I've always had a soft spot for leadsleds & had these resin bodies lying about for awhile so thought I might as well do something with them.


The 40 Ford is the Jimmy Flintstone Matranga Merc - just going to be it kerbside. Haven't decided on a colour yet but may use left over Nissan Midnight Purple.


I honestly can't remember who the chopped 49 is by - grille will be a simple floating bar and teardrop skirts are from Replicas & Minatures as are the Lancer hubcaps (I think). Will be kerbside as I can't be bothered to build an engine for it ! - not sure on colour yet perhaps two tone split by the Buick trim.
Thanks for looking
Andy

I'll be watching these too. I've got some ideas for several rod projects if and when I ever tire of building pro touring machines!!!

Wowza, those are awesome looking sleds. I would love to build me one of those. I look forward to seeing some paint on them. Good luck. I will watch this thread for more progress.

More than I'm looking on these 'chopped series' more I like them.
Any tutorial laying around here maybe?
