Ok folks,anyone got pics of 4 door Mercs they can put on here.I got a 51 mordoor and will be chopping it when I`ve finished my britford.I`ll put some pics of my konsul on here when I can find em.
my old one i sold last year...the old eyesore...........first with 57 lincoln quarters/lights, then with 56 packards i put in right before i sold it.....
Pictures of the '50 Merc with '51 rear quarters. This is a photoshop copy of mine with new front fenders and one with way too much patina. Good luck with the project. Happy Trails, Mick
chopmerc.....the old eyesore...ya bastard! thats like when glassguy calls his merc his "shitbox" chopmercs moredoor was one of the best 4 door mercs around, and always will be. stray kat is your car chopped already? if so i think you did what i was just talking about last week...the coolest chop on a 4 door merc is when you fashion the rear door window openings to look like 2 door quarter windows. makes the chop totally awesome...that seems to be a very cumbersome area for people to tackle.
Ha Ha Ha !! The ugliest Merc ever,well pretty hard to top anyway!My friend worked at The Guild for 4yrs or so and always refered to this piece of crap as " The Ghrost" .It shows what the most talented fabricaters with an unlimited budjet can do....but when you have No sense of style all the talent in the world wont help! Every rod or custom built by these guys is just plain wrong.Mike told me The Ghost had over 400 grand in it! Koolkemp
Sorry I missed the post. Here is a curent picture of the Merc. I've had alot of compliments on the chop. The extended rear door glass gives the sled the look of a two door. If your interested in looks, it is the way to go. The bad news you'll need to put in a swing out window, because that back window will not roll down. Before I get paint on her, I'm thinking about converting it to a hardtop.
OK Koolkemp, u opened the door so...... My original post (before I edited it...I have been drinking) said that has got to be one of the WORST Mercs ever done...worst I ever saw was a car called "Born Again" or something...it was a virgin 2 door chopped using a 70s Lincoln Mark roof...waves instead of flames and like square headlights or something...unbelievable. Kudos Koolkemp...that has to be one of the worst of all time!
OH MY GOD!!! This post is scaring the hell out of me. It should be retitled "The ugliest Merc parade" Every one of these with the exception of Mikes 'Sacred Karts' green merc is an abomination! A pox on whoever does this to a mercury. -stick
My bodyman just got a 51 mor door. Said after he takes a torch to it, no one will know what it was any how. $2200 just to cut it up. I have a 53 Monterey in my back yard, chopped the hell out of it for donor parts for my 30 coupe. May it rust in peace.
Eddie,don't be afraid and take a look at this one here.Sadly the only pic I've got so don't know how it looks from other angles.I think it's hot.
THAT is a nice 4 door!!! Eddie,don't be afraid and take a look at this one here.Sadly the only pic I've got so don't know how it looks from other angles.I think it's hot.[/QUOTE]
the Ghrost, that's clever. Anyway, from what I can see, the key to nailing the look on these Merc four doors is getting the shape of the back door window right. Would everyone agree with me there? And remember, a four door becomes a two door pretty easily with the right doors and donor roof.
Wow,quite a few pics to look at.The rear door glass seems to be the focal point for getting the look just right.Straykat,you got any pics of the chop as it was done?I wanna keep the Merc as a mordoor cos I dont know of any in the uk.(I will now wait for a smartass to correct me..lol)
Just 2 door it you big girlie, there aren't any Mercs with 71 Caprice roofs in the UK either perhaps that would be a good idea
lol,I was wondering when you were gonna chip in.Damn,you`re up early,wet the bed?Go get on with the Amazon,unless its too cold in yer "lean to"!
I have some build pics, I'll try to dig them out tonight and post them tomorrow..... Kool pics.. Mike '51 & Frenz I hadn't seen that one before Happy Trails, Mick
I was going through my file and if my memory is correct, the Merchauler was a 4dr converted into a roadster. This is going another direction but this is another one of my favorites. The Barris built Merc... What can I say, "God Bless the Mercury." Happy Trails, Mick
What? I call them as I see them! The "business coupe" is an all new low. Sorry, but most (not all) of the examples shown are a mess. -stick
