Here's my Dad's merc that we built together.
It started life as a 4 door. Originally built by Dick Dean, it has be completely re-done and is finally back together after being off the road for almost 10 years.

The car used to be in Yorba Linda, now its near Phoenix.
And we don't drag it much, it's too dang hot to drive out here!

 

I know it was in Yorba Linda,I live there. That's where I saw it at. Nice car. The chrome spikes on the bumper and side-pipes look cheesey though. Takes away from the nice work,done on the car. IMO,of course.

 

This is the badest Merc i've ever seen! Thanks to a little trickery from Bumpstick. Somebody needs to build one!!!

 

Yes Bob that is badass...good work Bumpstick!!!!

Anyone have some good pics of hardtopped cars??

 

Start at the beginning. There's some nice ones on here.

 

I saw a few but the pics are small and hard to get a feel for it.

 

Saw ur dads car on youtube...its the spinner hubcap car right? That thing had a rod knock or something fierce goin on in the video!

 

I like this one by Rik, think I might build it.

There's soooo many nice Mercs in this thread I almost feel embarrased, but what the hell...here's my old merc I sold a few years back.

 

Here are some of my favorite Merc pictures from the KKOA Spectacular.

 

That Wagon is SWEET!!!!

 

My buddy's 49 . Bone stock , he bought it new . Came with 50 hood chrome from the factory . My 49 came with a 50 one piece rear window . I've heard some had newspaper used as door insulation from the factory . I have a early hood rocket that is much lighter then others , same part number but ,was made of a different metal due to material shortages from the war . Not much factory documentation available . Sorry for the blurr , still a cool picture , 1961 .

 

49 with 50 hood chrome . 1961

 

That is quite possibly the COOLEST Merc picture I have ever seen. Ever.

Did he throw his tire iron over the cement wall to get into the groove before taking pics?

 

How about a '51 4dr made into a business coupe.

 

If it was chopped about 4",it might not look so bad,but it doesn't work for me. Should've left it a four door!

 

Nothing to be embarassed about. That's a nice looking Merc!

 

WAAAAY cool picture,Icebox!

 

Richard Dean's Merc , 1961

 

Who is that? A relative,friend?

 

To chop , or not to chop ,,,Both r cool but ,, Kinda makes the unchopped car look like dads ride ?

 

Random picture , Im not sure where I got got one .

 

Here's Buggers merc next to mine at the Village Idiots night.
