Any of you guys seen this 49 Merc kit before?

At first I thought it was a model. Any thoughts on this?
www.49-Mercury.com doesn't work. Is it for real,or just some guys project?

 

I don't know what to think about it.......but I wonder how many people will now be knocking on the side of my Merc to see if it gl*** just like they do with my roadster?

 

You mean this dude right?

-Abone.

 

I don't know about the unfinished gl*** body, but I recognize the pic of the blue merc on top. That car was around here in the 90's, had 4 split, rear bumpers, stacked up style and I believe a 57 Chev front bumper.

 

Ive seen these kits on eBay in the past.

 

Yea,that's it. I didn't want to promote his sale so I didn't post his ad. I saw that and wondered where it came from. I couldn't find the website. Thought I would ask if anybody else knows anything about it.

 

Yea,Outlaw52 gave me a poster of that car,HA HA! I haven't seen it on e-bay before. What are they trying to get for them? I don't know why he has that blue,flamed Merc on his ad cause it's not made from the kit. The kit says it has a tilt front end.

 

I think it might be the kit gene winfield makes. might be wrong but i know he makes a gl*** merc body.

 

No,that's not Gene's kit.

 

didn't think so but all gl*** looks the same to me, kinda like a rubber women..close but not the same!!

 

And when it's done, it's not a custom. You have to actually cut one up and do work for that!

 

But,do you have to blow up the rubber ones? LOL!!!

 

That's right...it's a "kit".

 

there was a kit out a few years ago i think it from a company called p@j dont know anything about them

 

Yea,I have their ad for that kit. It was done really nice. Only saw one car built though. Goodguys Giveaway car.

 

I REAAAALLLY want one of em. When they are on ebay I just sit and oogle over em, think it would be super duper neat in a flat black with a tubbed rear w/ painted on whitewalls, skinny tires up front, a bare bones interior (1 seat) and a ground pounding BBC or the such under the hood. Ever since I saw Johnny Rocca's Ironhorse I've wanted a gl*** Merc drag car.

 

I got to see it run!!!! that car is so cool

 

Dessotto?

Is that an Italian car maker?

 

Good Christ.

 

I don't believe this is the P&J kit. They were made in Danville, Va.,
and had '51 rear quarters.

I believe the blue Merc pictured to be one of Bill Reasoner's.

 

Both Genes kit and Pand J's have killer roofs.This one has that garden variety look.
