The Stude is done, the Merc begins...pics.

The Stude is going to a west coast HAMBer on monday. I got to drive her a few times before she left and she worked perfectly. Kinda sad though...never got enough time to really bond with her.

Here is a before.


After




Now, the Merc..In decent shape as far as shit I drag home goes.


Little better once I got her in the shop.


She is gonna be a long term project, probally 2 years...Lookin to have her at the HAMB Drags in '08.

This is one of those when one door closes, another opens kinda things..

See ya, -Abone.

 

right on man..

if you need any parts..let me know.

i might have some hanging around.

That Stude is bad ass! One of my all time favorite cars. I got to get one for myself one of these days.

 

I am one jealous Mo Fo right now. Not only is your Stude Awsome, you have a merc now. Those are my two favorite cars. Hope my Stude comes out as good as yours.
I can't belive you parted with the Stude!!!

 

Folks, that Stude is a super strong runner, got to go around the block in her.

Jeff, how tough was it to dislodge the Merc from the bushes and get her in the garage.

 

killer stude! good job man

Why is it that almost all the 49 -51 Mercs look like this ... around here ??

 

Cool! Gonna be driving the merc to the drags next year?

 

i don't know...what's wrong with that merc..looks good to me.

plenty of good parts and it's a two door.

i love it when a car sits for who knows how many years and guys like us bring them back to life , great stude!!

 

Damn you do good work. I wish I could have been around while that stude was done. I'm up for drinkin beer and learning stuff.

 

What I didn't even get to go for a ride? Oh well thats what I get for playin hookey.

 

If that Merc turns out like the Stude it is going to be bitchen.

 

Nice stude! I started building mine a few years ago and was almost done, then was in an accident and broke my back, and that broke my bank, but i've got to try to get that stude done this winter, you have inspired me.

 

Man if that Merc turns out half as bad as the Stude then it will most definately hold it's own... Nice job, it must have been done very well cause that black paint looked sweet. Can't wait to see the Merc... What are your plans for her

 

Oh Snap. It looks like the merc is in great hands. Very nice stude

 

i got patterns for all the floors, rockers, and trunk floors...i can scan them and send them to you..

let me know
