    Who gives a **** what's under the hood of a custom car?
    Show the body and interior, that's where the mods are that matter.

    True. But it is always fun to pop the hood and have something really cool under there. Thats why I'm leaving the hopped up 6 in my car.

    Cool! I am glad to see someone else building a 55-56 Merc. I am in the process of building a 55 Montclair for my wife, You don't see many of these as customs.
    Keep us posted of your progress.

    yea i still want those 60 desoto with a side scoop. but i cant find those lights anywhere. i may put dual 57 packards on each side or keep looking for lights.

  24. At Turkey Rod Run there was a Montclair that the guy had cut the top off of and put the top of a Crown Victoria on it. Was cool as hell and I wish I'd have taken pictures of it.

    On this one featured here, where do you put the oil in the motor?
