Looks great,love the colour. Did you have to buy new vent window rubbers? if so who sells them? Could you PM me thanks
Oldschoolhotrods, I took this photo of the Barris Merc from your site. Can you tell us some more about it? Perhaps some pre-restoration photos?
Gearheadforever, Those vent window rubber seals are from Bob Drake. They are '40 Ford but with a little coaxing and a razor blade they are now '40 Merc. Mike
Oldschoolhotrods, Took a look at the Merc's on your Website.........Wow lots of nice work ! I love to see '40 Mercs all cut up...gives me goosebumps. There is a picture of mine in that state on Rik Hoving's website. By the way I saw that convertable on Collector Car Trader Website is that where you got it ? That was a steal at that price. Mike
Holdfast, The engine photos will fool you..........That is a 500 inch Cadillac out of an Eldorado fitted with '49-'53 Valve covers, air cleaner, oil filter and Hunt electronic Mag. Old look....late model dependability. Engine is painted old Ford green with a flattener in it. Keith Black pistons, Flashcraft cam, etc. Mike Abssy at Schrader's Speed and Style in L.A. knows Caddys and helped me tremendously with this motor. Mike
SlowandLow63, I know what you mean about the LED's. I debated those a while, The driving force behind the LED's was that I live in Florida.........need I say more !! Mike
that's the one, lazy dave's car is built from the extra car and pieces that came in the package, car just got verified a week or so ago. haven't gotten around to doing too much to it yet as the other 2 cars are higher up on the priority list. actually plans for a 4th 40 merc rat truck for dennis are also in the works. eventually i'll be making sections for all projects and cars, but i'm not exactly a website designer, just got tossed some software and going for it like everything we do
