Customs Phil Sauers "Old Shasta"1951 Mercury

Thank you for your input.Really appreciate it.

 

I really enjoyed reading this thread , from the time you to doing the detective work tracing down the previous owners and their storys to the work to put together this thread and finally the care taking of the car.

 

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

 

Awesome thread showing the history of your car . Well done mate in getting it back on the road . Top stuff .

 

Having and enjoying my 1951 Mercury makes reading this story only more fun to read. Thanks

 

Wow Greg, great history on your car and look forward to seeing it at Lugnuts and Donuts one of these days. BTW what is the story on the model A in one of the photos?

 

Yes, it's been a while since you've been to Saturday morning Lug nuts and Donuts. Interested to know if you ever got your negatives printed?

 

No haven't had a chance to get them printed.

 

Thank you!

 

You're welcome!

 

The model A in the garage?It's a 1929 with a banger, police head, Tattersfield down draft intake with a Stromberg 81, 39 trans and 16 inch Kelsey Hayes wire wheels with big and little Firestones.

 

A little update. Finally dropped the negatives off to have them scanned and put on a thumb drive. Will take about 2 weeks. Will post some more pics of my merc taken in the 50s!

 

Just got my negatives back today.Had them scanned to thumb drive here are some more pics of my Merc with Phil Sauers before the accident.2 nd version of it

 

Here are some color photos of the wreck and after Dean Jeffries rebuilt the car.

 

I liked the chrome front end better.

 

Great photos! Love the 2nd version of Jeffries
Love the stance .... such a beauty!
How was that low ride achieved?

 

Waiting for you to bring it to Saturday morning coffee

 

Sorry! I must of missed your question. The rear was c notched, some leaves were removed and lowering blocks were used from what Phil told me. It was lowered 8 inches in the rear. He didn't mention anything about the front?

 

COME ON GREG!!!! Have you lowered it yet? Is it running and driving yet? hahaha Haven't talked to you in a long time.

 

never saw this thread before. good read. cool Merc

 

LOL!Not lowered yet. Won't be able to until I run my exhaust back through the bumper ends.My driveway is to steep.

 

Thank you!
