66 Mercury
by dv8v8 Sun 07 Jun 2009, 6:13 pm
this is AMT's 66 Mercury and old reissue with metal axles, was kinda surprised to find the only engine in the kit is a dual carb 428 ! with an axle through the block 
. i have been so inspired by the builds on this forum that im gunna try some new things with this one, i will try whitewalls and BMF for the first time.

Looks good so far, best of luck with the BMF.
Do the parts fit well or is it like most AMT kits?

whitewalls and BMF
basic parts fit is average for one of these old kits, i did have trouble gettin the engine to sit low enuf to close the bonnet, not sure if this was a fault with the kit or because i have modified the engine
