Customs Merc at Houston Autorama need more pics

Needless to say I love wild Kustoms and I saw the following pictures
on Hotrodhotline. Does anybody know more about the build?
I think that it has Zoomies under the front quarters.....???

I see a lot of stuff that I would do different just like to see the '57
Chevy body dip in better light.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Mick, the pictures don't do it justice. It was acually a pretty cool custom, I only got to talk to the owner briefly and he is from Houston, Texas. However I have never seen the car before AutoRama.

 

The car is a fresh build, he has been working on it for many years. Has a blown small block, and air ride ch***is. Packard tail lights, and used the top sections of doors off of a 57 chevy hardtop and grafted them into the merc. Has some pretty wild ideas in it.

 

The front end reminded me of a Mercury that I saw at a KKOA Hangin Dice show
years ago. If my memory is correct it was a Texas car. She was in primer back
then and I hadn't seen it in a long time.

I know that it is not HAMB friendly but still some kool body mods.

Thanks for posting the pics.

Happy Trails,

Mick
