Projects The Merc is aaaaaalmost done.

Getting down to the short strokes on this heap....Gotta do all the glass and figure out why she dosen't stop so well..

10 year olds will NOT smile if you ask them to...


from the side..


last one for today..


The next post will likely be the last before she goes to live at someone elses house. I am tired of looking at her.

See ya, -Abone.

 

You sir, have built, and own my now favorite Merc!
I've always loved 51's, and black is my color of choice.....not to mention the very nice collection of subtle, clean mods.
EXCELLENT job..
I wish i could be the lucky 'new' owner..but that's nothing more than a day dream for me
Thanks for posting your progress pics.

I agree....

I wanna have you build me a merc.

 

Words fail me. Truly beautiful.

 

awesome job abone..

 

Ok,my first love is 32 roadsters,but my secand is 49-51 mercs,so I'm likeing that 51 alot,great job man.

 

Abone if you sell that thing, I am disowning you!!!!!!! It is top notch. The 10 year old is probobly not smilling cuz you are threatning to sell the sled.......DONT DO IT!!!!
ETHER

 

Most improved car on the HAMB,,,,,Perfect!!! Do not sell it!!!!!!

 

Man,..that is fine. The only thing missing is the Grim Reaper in the driver's seat.

 

that car is perfect. see you soon

 

Wow!

 

yeah seriously WTF SELLING IT??!!! honestly man, you need to keep that car

 

it's gorgeous! very nice work...

 

Damn! Looks incredible!

 

you have built one of the nicest mercs i've ever seen.

 

it can stay at my house..beutiful car...

 

That car is spot on. I love it!

 

A I agree, I want it. Makes me wish I never sold my Black '51, but it was no way as nice and perfect as yours....If I win the lotto I'm flying down to pay you cash-

 

I must have missed something. YOUR SELLING IT? How can you do that after resurecting it from the dead? It's got to be one of the most perfectly profiled Mercs I've ever laid my eyes on. I know I couldn't do it so................. I hope you got a truck load of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'s

Great job!! Love your car!

 

I'll trade you a 64 cadillac straight up if you hate it that much!!!

 

Perfect....

 

Man o man one of the great Hamb updates..talk about saving a car!!!!

 

i smell... PUSSY! dont sell it holmes. you KNOW ya gonna hate yourself for it. fuckin car does it for me man

 

How could anyone ever get tired of looking at something like that?

 

I think Abone is just trying to create some drama with saying he's selling it. Ya know, just tryin' to get your feathers ruffled...

Beautiful car Abone. That thing is perfect. Looks very similar to the Barris Merc, only painted black... And, with dare I say a better flowing chop, with the leaned B pillars?

Go ahead, shoot me now for committing such a crime by saying that...

 

How can you sell that car? It's not like you bought a car at a swapmeet to redo and flip! You brought it back from the dead! With all that amazing work you've done to it. NOBODY will ever appreciate as much as you.
You want that kid to smile...tell him it's gonna be his. I fuckin gaurantee he will smile!!!

 

i know how ya feel but builders amnesia should set in shortly

 

DON'T sell it,KEEP it.It's PERFECT!

 

that merc is badass.dont sell it!
