sneak peak 00 macks merc

Well done, Master! 00Mack is a ruler!

 

Maybe I can make you change your mind.Yes,the Merc has its history but you have the chance now to make it all right.

 

Funny!I think Id keep the bottom one!Try that!!!

 

I also thought about that before,so here's another quickie.I wasn't sure if you have side trim on the Merc or not,so with sidetrim it looks better with the taillight in stock position as the trim directly points into the taillight,imhn the other side,the low taillight looks cool too ! Lowers the rear visually,kinda "connects" the lights with the trunk lid.It's a matter of minutes to get rid of a pair,you now decide which pair !

 

That last pic is the money. My 50 I used the bottom bolt holes of the factory location as the new top holes. Loved it. Mine used housings, but ya get the gist.

 

Mercs are for jercs!

 

51 Lincoln trim is what I wanted since I was 11 and saw Winfields.

 

Car Looks Better And Better Way To Go Ant

 

progress takes time, but when that one is done it's gonna be sweet!

 

Here ya go mom! Hey Hambers,wait till my mom puts up pics of her chopped shoebox!

 

How'd I miss this? Looking good! Now that it's running...any chance it'll make an appearance at Turkey Run, or maybe just at Abacoa? I'd love to drool on it.

 

is that a kit car?....hahahah j/k

 

Updates?

 

Anthony the firewall looks really great,,,,,,,your doing a super job. BARRESSE'

 

its time for my trex down to FL going to be by anthony's to get the merc closer to being ready for paint. look for some updates soon.

 

Hey I did something to the car.I stripped the nose and made a patch.Here it is....all by my dumb self!

 

Nice work, cant rush quality.

 

2 years with no updates and then you come back with a fender patch!!!

 

You've obviously never met Anthony...

Nice work man, slow and steady wins the race.

 

Nice any pics of how the car looked back in the 50's?

 

Cool, he's slower than me!
If you've moved, Anthony, I need your new address!

 

Believe it or not I have 50 hours in this bucket of **** in the past two weeks.I figured Id use this thred to expose the lack of motivation on my part and force myself to keep sanding.The only ****in thing Im good at is striping.

 

Good to see you at it. Keep sluggin' man, it's gonna be sweet!

 

And keeping a running list of all the available jerk off booths in the NYC area!!!!

 

just bustin' your balls, the car is gonna look great. From the amount of attention you put into striping i can only imagine how picky you are on your DREAM car

 

some updated pictures. the car moved back to new jersey

 

Holy ****...paint!

 

Gotta hand it to Russ and John at Summit Rod and Custom for this round of bodywork. I wanted it to look like this for a long time.

 

Nice !! I cant wait to see more.

 

Thanks Jeff. The body was really all over the place before Russ got everything lined up nice. In my best shape, the body would have taken me 3 times longer and wouldnt have been half as good as they got it.
