Lordz Shop Piks.....spam...

a few more ..enjoy

 

Im not nitpicking as you say, im just asking, the car is awesome and the craftsmanship rocks.

 

I agree....that is one of the nicest Mercury roof-lines I have ever seen...very beautiful lines with a lot of elegance.

 

Man thats a bad ass car. Keep up the great work, both in and out of the shop.

 

I understand what you are saying, it's a valid question.

If I had to choose between buying two chopped mercs, and one had a "mistake" but a dramatic roof shape and the other was perfect but had a standard looking roof shape. Well, I'd go with the one with the overall exciting shape.

If I were buying a muscle car that does not allow artistic expression, then I would look for the one with the least mistakes. What else is there that distinguishes one from another?

 

and remember most of this work was done by kids who most of you would not give a chance,
most of you would get offend if they looked at your car, i get customers a who walk in the shop and walk right out just because they see the tats on some of this kids or the way they dress...we all have a talent..just need the chance to show it.

 

dont judge the book by the cover. youll never get to the good part if you do

 

gotcha...sorry, been dealing with nitpickers at work...people that don't want to pay shit but complain when it's not a showcar

 

Man i here that, Im a swimming pool contractor. Every little thing has to be in writing and as we stumble on an isue i let the client know right away.

 

Merc looks awesome.

 

This thread is giving me wood! If you don't mind me asking, what is the chop front & back?

 

Jesse I would like to say kudos to you and the guys working in your shop you are doing a great job.

I would love to hang out in a shop like yours and learn heaps but unfortunately I don't have the access to, we have a few good shops like yours in Australia but not where I can get at all the time, so it is great that you can take some time out of your busy life to post great threads with pics and info like this one.

I am currently building a 52 Hudson and love the look of the one your are doing, do you have an update on wherer you are at with the build.

Cheers,
Adam

 

Been following this post and I must say. very nice work. Looks like glass. What did you put on the merc for paint? Looks to be a single stage black and not Base clear. How many coats did you put on it? Agian Very nice work.

 

Nice real nice

 

The idiots that walk out aren't letting the quality of your guys' work speak for itself, they're letting their stereotypes cloud their judgement. Too bad for them.

I get the "looks" too, and I work retail.

 

5 coats of black base, with 6 coats of clear... blue pearl mixed in the black base to give it that deep blue effect,. kinda hard to see it in the pics..

 

Daaaaaaaaaaammmmnnnn, that thing is HAMMERED. Sick work, sick product. Anybody should be proud to cruise that sled.

I hope your kids see this thread, and it's 62000+ views, and recognize how many people all over the world are watching and admiring their work. They should be very proud of themselves

 

Nice affect. 6 coats of clear,wow. what do you cut you clear down with when you water sand and buff. I`m alway interested in how different bodyman do there work. Waht is the brand of clear?

 

glassurit clear...wet sanded with 1500 then 2000 then 2500..then buffed with 3m

 

Man you guys are fast and that Merc is beautiful. When did you first start on it?

 

LOL..the owner does not think so..car came in last week of oct..08
chopped, bagged,body, paint, step notched, 4 linked, shaved, power windows , complete wiring, digital gauges for bags,remote for bags and doors, desoto grill..and a bunch more work..the owner called a month later complaining that we were taking too long..and has been calling every day since..

 

nice merc,hows the pontiac comming ?

 

pontiac is one of my toys..dont have much time for them right now..

 

ahhh im going to LA next week i thought maybe i would see it out

 

Now that is going to be one bad ass caddy.. Work your magic Jesse...

 

Good to see this inspirational thread back where it belongs.
