    I’m in the process of building my 1951 mercury, this will be a slower build thread but hopefully a fun one! IMG_4508.jpeg IMG_4601.jpeg IMG_5585.jpeg IMG_5946.jpeg IMG_5962.jpeg 9FB64CCA-B7A6-46F6-B504-3EE8F6BC01E2.jpeg IMG_6020.jpeg IMG_6037.jpeg

    That is going to be a nice ride when you get done. I like the flush fit skirts, My buddy the late Paul Harper did that on one he built that is known as MS Merc.

    You definitely nailed the profile on the chop. That roofline flows perfect. :cool: Looking forward to following along.

    You nailed the profile. Gotta keep the whole car low with an aggressive chop like that. Looks bitchin
