This is the next project I am going to try to do. I have been wanting to build this Mercury for a long time. I will try to make it as close to the real deal as I can. Here are some pics of the real car I hope to replicate

The Revell #2860 Merc kit will give you most everything you'd need but you'd still need the moon discs, the hood scoop{late '60's ford?}, and the bumperettes. Said kit already has the top chopped and the spotlights.

I've always loved that car. You can throw away the rest of that movie: "Crime is a disease and I'm the cure.", ha ha. It will be cool to see it built here.
Where did you come up with such great photos of the real thing?
