48 Mercury ute
by dv8v8 Sun 19 Aug 2018, 5:39 pm
48 Mercury ute, Finaly got this one finished, i started out with an old Jaymar fiberglass body 48 ford ute, and was gunna build it stock but then i found some pics of a 48 Mercury and decided to build that instead, the body was warped and too short, it had separate doors but they didnt fit, added a bit more length to the body glued the doors shut, and used a 48 Ford woody to donate a chassis and engine, interior was scratchbuilt, and the tarp was made from tissue paper,

Got this body in my stash as well. Nice work.
Wasn't this body originally made for the old IMC kit?
