There is nothing like a chopped '49 Merc to get you started loving kustoms.
Keep at it, they can be a lot of work, but worth it.

I'm thinking a bright orange and silver paint job you know something really different. And this kits turning into a hassle to say the least haha so much sanding I've used almost a whole thing of 1000 grit for it!

Great to see the progress everyone's making with their build for this contest. I wanted to ask all of you to NOT reveal your finished product. Find a stopping point where you can stop sharing progress pics. I think it'll be a bit more exciting when the polls are up and we see each other's masterpieces. As soon as you finish, just post "BUILD COMPLETE". And send me the pics. Once I get everyone's finished pics or the deadline comes, whichever happens first, I will set up the poll.
Reminder: deadline is September 31st
Again, thank you for you involvement and have a nice day.

That sucks. Paint thinner will do that to putty. Was it the Merc with the chopped top you got from me?

Oooops! But hey, looks like most of the paint came off. Let's look at the bright side though, you could go ahead and use that body and say it was a Barris Kustom, "The Salvador Dali Merc". www.salvadordali.com/ |
