I just picked this sweet Merc up this weekend.... Yeah its only the back half and yeah its Fibergl***....But it is still a Merc right??? It is going to become a nice couch someday! Am I in the club??
I saw that posted in the estate sale earlier... was hoping someone would scoop it up! Looks cool!!! Nice score!
It's a liitle ruff right now but hey.... it could grace the cover of a couple of these so called "traditional" magazines that are out today.Its perfect right now for some over pinstriping,skulls,spiderwebs, maybe some exaust out of Pabst blue ribbon beer cans ?? Sounds like it's ready for a cover if you ask me!!! Bob has to let you in the merc club.
I am not sure how you get in, Jumped in or some weird frat stuff?? Bob can you get back to me and let me know?? I am going to add some fuzzy dice somewhere as well!
Looks like one of the ones my buddy Mike Corbin manufacturers (He actually has a patent on it). He sells them new for about $4300.00 (yeah yeah I know, a lot of bread, get over it) fully painted and upholstered - so how much did ya have to give? Inquiring minds want to know.
On a serious note ..... I want one of those BAD!! A lil work and some tuck & roll and that thing is the ****!! I might have to ask Keith about making me one but I want a 50. But for now ....... we got to make that badboy OSR & Deluxe & R.R. worthy! Bring on the PBR exaust tips. Maybe we can get a crying babydoll with a HUGE pomp (like the one we saw the other night) !
I did not pay $4300 but it is not painted and upholstered.... I would let it go though if someone wanted to offer some hard cold cash :}
