The hood is in a container of Easy Off Oven Cleaner to remove a bad paint job. The Merc is now ready for assembly!

I keep a tub of paint stripper close by, myself! It gets to be routine in my Hobby Shack! LoL Looking forward to seeing this one finished. I like a good Mercury! I had a white '65 Comet back in the late seventies.

Keith Buckner...When I was born, my first ride was in a 1948 Dodge! MOPAR is in my blood!!

I feel more like I do now than I did earlier.

My Dad had a '71 Cougar that he bought brand new and he drove it into the ground like he did with his '60 Buick LeSabre.

I also had a 65' Comet Cyclone in the 70's! Loved that car! This is when I got it on my 16th Birthday in Lancaster California!

This is what I changed it to a few months later with paint and lots of work!

Thank you Keith and Joe! The hood was given to me since I had asked for something with scoops on it by a friend at the Classic Plastic Model Club.

The body is glued on to the chassis. There is a gap between the end of the chassis and the rear bumper and the exhaust tips cannot be seen. More issues to correct.

I got the decals on, but I did break one of the long side decals, which is typical of me. I still have to repaint the hood and add the filler piece of the rear chassis. Moving ahead slowly!
