you know i was dead set on putting a 54' chevy gravel pan on my 51' but im starting to reconsider after seeing just how nicely a stock front bumper "fits"
That's because it's fucked up! Get rid of the wheels,add some skirts(or not),the flush windows looks like shit. I saw the car in person,at the GNRS and that's why I didn't take any pic's of it. I don't think the guy could make up his mind which direction to go with it. The quality of the work is awesome,but........
Let's just say...it's a nice car to start with,LOL!!!! I hate streetrods. Especially Streetrod Mercs!!!!!
Not a Merc? Looks like a Merc to me...Am I missing something? Really looks sweet...... My buddy Joe has a 51 Mercury Monarch,Canadian convertable. He's restoring it. Might have a pic
Yes, it's a canadian monarch. I haven't ever seen another one except in pix. I guess I live to far south. Thats why I left the stock chrome stuff and grill on.
That convert is sweet! When I bought mine, it was all oem right down to the spare tire. I still have all the stock parts that came with it, even the engine that says made in canada and headlights that are stamped sept 49 on them. volt reg with maple leaf,ect.
Joe and slddnmatt drove it all the way here from Minesota,or something. They had to use a tie-down to hold the doors shut. The fuel bowl kept leaking,so they used a robber boot to make a gasket,a leather glove,then finally got something to work,but broke down when they got almost here. It was pretty funny.
Hey Smokin Do you have any pictures of you notch and how you did your air setup? I'm working on stripping my car to the frame right now so I can bag it. Thanks Robert Picture of my disaster The day i got it: And today:
That's a great story. Mine was bought at a dealer auction by my former boss here in so. cal. and he sold it to me for 3400.00.
NO SHIT? What a deal........You couldn't buy the engine for that now! Where do you live? You need to come visit the Anti-donut breakfast!
joe picked up a 4door i found for him the other day bob, and now he s thinking he might do up the monarch a little and sell it and keep the 4door so he can do some custom stuff to it. he doesnt have the heart to cut the convert up!! bob you can kinda relate to this pic
That is the pic that made me PM you to see if you were freak tall like me! Who cant enjoy a chopped Merc at 6'5"?
