Customs The beauty of a Merc with bags...

2 less tires to clean...











Oh yeah, don't forget the twist off:

 

I like the 51 Merc

 

Sinister.

 

looks siiiiiiiiick I was tring to look into the house next to yours for some peeping tom action se you at the crawl

 

Lay off Nate, she's a 17 yr old McGuinness girl.

 

I'd like to see some pics in daylight with the camera off the ground.

 

Here ya go buckeye. This is when I got it home from JD's shop:





The tires were rubbing on the body real bad so it still had about an inch of drop left in it.

 

killer!

 

That, is a pretty car.

 

I don't think Ive ever seen a Merc crying out to be chopped as much as that one with its new stance.

 

You think? I'm kinda going for the "un-chopped shoebox sitting on the ground" look. I really don't want to chop this one. I've had it over 17 yrs, drove it through school, picked up my wife in it, etc. I'm really wanting to build another one and chop it.

 

JK Killer merc. Looks the same as mine!!!! Love mercs in the weds.

Yeah, better to roll the dice and chop on a car you just got then the one you've had for 17yrs with a sentimental background.

 

Were there different tailights in that car at one time? The shape of the cutout in the fender looks like it has notches to match like a Lincoln lens.

Yea, bagged looks good. It must be laying frame in those pics.

 

I still hate you....

 

It had some Lincolns in it at one time. They here boogered up pretty bad though. I have a set of NOS Lincoln lights that Jeff Meyers (Fink'd here) will be putting in someday.

 

I still love you too, sweetie.

 

i like mercs in the weeds....but nothing is better than weeds in a merc when looking for parts.

Badd ***!!

 

Nice!! Don't chop it. Just add some wider whites and lose the yellow wheels. -stick

 

second that - like it unchopped - and gloss black them steelies!

 

I'll second the non-chop comments. But the comment about layin frame NOT WITHOUT CHANNELING THE BODY! ( I would know ) "LIke the Avatar TOK."

Yeah I mean its a 51 Merc coupe on the ground, hard to miss without going tweed-rod or nuts with stupid bolt ons (diner trays or airbrushed do-dads) so I can see you liking it as is, looks great. That car is all over Car Nuts website from what I remember.

That said and aside from the history you have with it, I would totally chop that thing.

 

Hmmm, I might hafta bust out the ol' Krylon can. I will be buying WWW's for the front only when I wear these tires out. How hard is it to paint over powdercoat?

 

I am looking foreward to working on this car..............don't chop it......I never thought I would say those words but I did.

 

**** that,,,dont CHOP it,,,


worst mistake i ever made was chopping my 50,,,dont get me wrong ,,i feel that i pulled of the chop very well,,,but ,,,i liked my car alot more when it wasnt chopped....
