The ChevMerc Coupe-Update-COLOR!!

[badroadahead]

After building ole’ Rosy from the Merc and the Chevy SSR P/U, I had the rear of the Merc and the front of the SSR left over…..and what do you know! They look pretty cool together!





I added a small width to the rear and glued it together.





I cut out the rear fenders and created some that were close to the front fenders. I also continued the body ridge from the top of the doors to the trunk to make it more ascetically pleasing.









I filled in the tail light holes and re-drilled for the new ones. These will be sunken points. Then I added molded in headrests and this seems to work.





Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.

Not so bad, it is wide. We'll have to start calling you "Dr Franken-SSR" Thanks for the interesting work and great photos! Sharing hard work like yours is what builds the hobby and keeps us coming here.

That is cool looking.
Could almost see that in 1:1 size..

She's got color now!

I painted it with my new airbrush using a metallic blue nail polish. now she's ready for clear coat. This weekend I will be working on the interior and chassis.
