Chopped '49 Mercury





This is AMT's '49 Mercury Sedan kit #6815.

Built with a few modifications.

Body: The roof was chopped approx' 3 scale inches, then the tops of the rear wheel arches were filled so that the skirts from the AMT '49 Ford could be used, and the spears down the sides were removed. After 2 coats of Boyd's primer, the body was airbrushed with 3 coats of Boyd's Purple Pearl enamel. The windows were made from acetate.

The grille is from the AMT '49 Ford Coupe also.

Interior: Painted in a red & white scheme, with dark grey flocking for the carpets and rear parcel shelf.

Engine: The Chrysler 440 from the kit was fitted with a scratchbuilt distributor. The dual exhausts were fitted with extensions from aluminum tube.

Wheels/Tyres: The wheels are from the Monogram '59 Caddy, and the the tyres are from the Monogram '59 Chev.
