    Lookin' good. Few cars benefit from a chop as much as the '40 Merc. Hate 'em stock but absolutely love them with a slick chop like that one.

    Wow...,another good looking '40 Merc !!! The sombrero hubcaps are perfect on those early 40's cars.They totally match the roundness of the body,so simple looking but sooo beautiful.I look forward to see more progress pics.Great work !

    It looks great!

    The one question I have though is about the flex that seems to be common in those hardtop cars...

    What did you do to add rigidity to the body? Especially at the back of the doors.

    When I was gonna buy Rudy's, one of the things that concerned me was how flexible the body seemed.

    Well, when that shot was taken it did not have any form of an interior but the dash, steering wheel, and Steering column.

    Thanks for all your kind words, it took long sleepless nights but I think it turned out nice.
