    last update on my 1940 Mercury project..running ,driving . a couple bugs to work out but for the most part it is done. 6 year project that I purchased from a fellow hamb member in Iowa. I just wanted a clean driver before my retirement,I'm 5 months from that date. And so I have achieved that goal.Here are a few final pics

    Awesome. Nice to see it all come together in a timely manner. Not without a lot of hard work and dedication of course. Love that blue.

    Do you have any pics from the side? I saw one that was part of the side when it was still in primer, but would like to see the profile finished for motivation. :D Would also be a good comparison to the starting pic from 2020.
