Started this thing at least a year ago. Got inspired the other day and got back on it. The next hurtle will be the aluminum tailgate insert. Anybody know how I could replicate the MERCURY script on the hood? Here are a few pix of the 1/25 and the 1/1: The real one The little one That pesky tailgate. Looks like I'm gonna need some Vega tailights in 1/25 too. Here is my new tailgate. I could not for the life of me find any plastic panels to use for louvers so I made my own out of decals. The panel is thick aluminum foil. The real one is stainless-close enough.

Man, I like this truck Dave!!! I agree with Bob about photo-etch, try checking Model Car Garage for some photo-etch letters in one of his detail sets. BTW, is that a resin grille?www.modelcargarage.com

Thanks for the lead on the photoetched stuff, Mercury stuff is really hard to find in 1:1 as well as 1:25. MCG did not have it listed so I asked via email. Any other ideas where I could get it?
