  23. Looking good! Shame to put it away for the winter and not thrash it out, but I can appreciate too many projects and trying to focus on one. ;)

    That is starting to look like a real custom Merc now.
    I don't have photos of the chassis on the one I did but when we did the subframe job with a similar subframe we cut the stock frame right behind the stock crossmember and ran the legs of the subframe back to the X member in the Merc frame and trimmed them to fit up to the X member.
     
  26. Sweet '51. Is there any way you could get some pics of the pedal assembly (under dash shot, pedal assembly before it went in the car, booster/MC assembly, where it's mounted on the firewall, etc...) for me? I'm running an S-10 pedal assembly and I don't thing it long enough. I think we're running almost the same front and rear ends.

    Looks awesome, I hate to see you put it up for the winter.

    Great job and score on a Merc.
