Merc's almost done!!!HEY Mazdaslam!!!

Mazdaslam,

Here's the latest pic's of my '49.Still needs the front window installed and the lights hooked up. SOON!!!

 

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!! VERY BADASS!!! Me like it .

 

Post more pics! Bigger pics. Especially of the front end. These are hard to see the details. But the proportions are perfect. What amount did you chop?

49Lincoln

 

Man thats nice.......

 

4 1/2" I'll get more pic's soon,hopefully i'll get the WHOLE car soon! I'll post,don't worry. It will be nice to drive my own car,instead of my sons car. My friend Matt Townsend,in Riverside,did the chop and the whole body. He's a HAMBer,slddnmatt.

 

I found one of the front,but without the hood.Here's the ass end.Love that ass!

 

Very nice

 

How's yours comin? Are you drivin it much?

 

Sorry,had to change my avatar. I have more pic's but these are the most recent,with the hood on and painted,and skirts on.Where do you live? You have a '49 Lincoln? Post a pic!

 

I put about 200 miles on it then the right axle bearing went bad .Fixed it,put another 200 or so miles on it.Then I notice a small puddle of gear oil on the ground. The NEW bearing and seal is leaking.So,tomorrow I am going to take it apart AGAIN to see what went wrong.....I hate cars!!!!

 

Wow,just relized when you change your avatar,ALL the posts change,WIERD!

 

Is your's a stick or auto? I haven't even drivin mine yet! It went from a pile of parts to what you see now,thanks to slddnmatt,Mercalangelo!

 

350 Chevy/Turbo 350 trans.The body is channeled over a 78 Olds Delta 88 chassis and floor.

 

Thanks,kinda tired.Didn't feel like going searching for the last posts we had.NO you don't hate cars! Only wives hate cars!What are you plannin for a grill?

 

The grill is going to be made up of some cut down 51 Ford grill parts.

 

It's about ready to start the chop. Down to bare frame and body. Took the engine and trans out over the 4th - 1200lbs!!!! And I've been sick with a parasite - viva la mexico!

I'm in El Segundo. About to pull it out of my cramped garage and move it to my nephews in Hemet. Then maybe I can get some pics of it. All I have right now is pics I took just prior to buying it. Sat in Modesto since 74. Only two dime size holes in the entire thing. But the interior, motor, trans was a wash.

Doing the chop and chassis work in his garage. He just graduated from Wildtech(sp?) in PA. And works at a Rod shop someplace out there. Only doing customs and rods. No insurance work. He tried that and it killed him.

Plan on chopping, lowering, air bags, different front (cad or something later) grille and bumper, maybe same interior redone (I've got an industrial sewing machine from another business I owned) or maybe do something out of a late 60's car. I also want to do a trailing arm rearend from a chevy truck. seems to be the easiest. I don't want to make it into a mercury but they so but ugly in the front I feel like it needs customizing.

Pretty interesting car though had power windows, seats and antenna running off a hydraulic pump on the firewall. All hardlines thru it.

Nice Merc. I'd like to see it sometime.

49 Lincoln

 

Cool Merc ! You definitely have to post more pics ! That's exactly how I want the taillights on my '49 too...more details please.

 

They just got bigger. they didn't get any clearer though. lol.

 

Just another merc, ya can't swing a dead cat without hitting one!Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn!
Wish I had one, can't wait to see it in person, looks GREAT Bob

 

I keep hearing things about this Merc. I believe it when I see it.(In person that is)

Here are some pictures that should pull-up bigger.

 

Then again maybe not!

 

The front end of a Lincoln might seem ugly,but a custom one would be pretty unique. There just aren't many running around. There's a badass chopped black one here in O.C.,but I don't see it very much.If I find the pic I have of it,i'll post it.

 

Keep that up and I won't give you a ride BUD!!

 

thats one bad fucking car haha
cant wait to ride in it
or even better caravan you me and tyler
you can be the leader

 

that would be great. it has a custom front? or no?

 

WATCH THE LANGUAGE! I'm still your dad.

 

Don't remember,let me find the pic.

 

Bad Bob - Great work on the Merc! Excellent proportions and stance. Perfect height, and soooo cleeeean. I love it!!! You should be very proud.

 

that baby is nice................you guys are going to be the chopped family to cool....hey bob my freinds keep asking me who did the striping on my car? by the way the dash on the 51 was done by rick grindel and the paint was done three days before the blessing by bad seed.....................that merc is bad ass......
