Mercules MCF Project Car Shell painted & interior parts

aj510 · 19-09-2008, 04:02 PM

Mercules has been away from home for quite some time now. She only just came back on Wednesday (17/9/08) and got straight to work putting the engine and dash back in. Since the last update, the shell has been painted, engine painted, new carpet along with hood lining has been completed and lastly the dash was recovered (vacuum moulded).

Nice shiny new paint all finished, couple of small bits and pieces that will be touched up once it’s all back together but aside from that the shell is looking fantastic. The engine bay came out really well and we’re happy as can be with it. Nothing like looking into an engine bay and seeing a sea of smooth surfaces!

The colour scheme for Mercules is going to be kept REALLY simple. Black white and chrome, the interior is all black, from carpets to hoodlining.So after much deliberation the block was painted black and the headers will be painted the same colour with chrome rockers/chrome everything else.

1min 30 seconds to put the engine back in Mercules and NOT a single scratch! Guinness book of records can stick that in their pipe!

Dash was put back in after it came back from being vacuum moulded. There are still some minor imperfections but it is far better than what it was. There were a huge number or cracks in it (before photos this post) and once all the fittings and trim is back in, the imperfections won’t be all that noticeable.

Looking like new! Just as it should be with no cracks. The dash like all dashes wasn’t a whole lot of fun to put back in. Almost as if it drank too much beer whilst being out of the merc.

Slowly she’s starting to look like a car again. Front quarters give the merc back its features. I can’t tell you how nice it is to be working on nice clean new panels and parts. No more sanding or any of that ****! We’re getting alot closer to the finish line.
