    This Merc was the subject of a thread last week and I had thought with a few simple changes it could be great.

    I would love to see this car with chrome bumpers replacing the rolled pans, side mirrors eliminated, wheelcovers in place of the wires, and maybe the headlight beaks trimmed off and replaced with a regular stainless headlight ring.

    I'd try it myself but I'm not so good at importing items from other pictures.

    FullSizeRender.jpg I'm thinking about switching my steelies out for some chrome rims. Could be supremes, chrome reverse, baby moon hubcaps on the steelies? Would like to keep the wide whites. Help me get some ideas!

    Madfish hit all your requests, so I decided to add something else:

    OK, first off, I know this is a little out of the norm. But am wondering if an altitude adjustment and some other wheels & tires, could make this look good enough to drive:confused:

    Dropped, chrome reverse wheels, shaved handles and a little color. I'd drive it!

    Thanks to themoose & rot n'kustom, looks like it is possible to make a silk purse out of a Sow's ear:)

    Thanks guys! Really thought the supremes would look better. Maybe it's just baby moons or losing the wide whites...

    That Rambler would make a slick looking 2 door hardtop.

    Here's my entry for the 1965 Ford Custom Car Caravan: The Galaxian!
    Chopped, shaved, custom paint, and side trim borrowed from the Thunderbird Italien.
    Wait, did I miss the deadline?

    Ok, this pic is just screaming for some long tear dropped rear quarters to match the fade away!

    My personal opinion is this particular model was out of proportion and way too long. Swooping the rear fenders seems to give the effect of adding additional length. Here's a version that shortened the backend which has the effect of making the car look more muscular and not quite as long. I also tucked the bumpers in to help shorten the illusion as well.

    That's the first thing I thought of too.
     
  29. I tried a few of these in the past. As well as extending the roof back, it helps to bring the front of the rear fenders forwards too. Chrysler just cheaped out and used four door items.
