The Merc. is done!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Krash, Oct 16, 2011.

  1. I have posted a few pics on different threads over the past few years, but now I'm calling it done! Thanks to everyone who helped me figure stuff out!

    Here's what I did to it: Lowering, rebuilt front and rear suspension, new complete brake system, all new cloth wrapped wiring throughout, 12 volt conversion, seat belts, restored Merc accessory steering wheel, new shoes, hopped up flathead with dual exhaust (engine and exhaust by Bill Jagenow at Brother's Custom Automotive).

    The paint and interior were done when I bought it. It also has '57 Caddy hubcaps, skirts and working spots.

    A few more pics to follow!

    I know the old expression is "they are never done", but sometimes yes they are. That car is DONE, and perfect. Only thing you need to add is gas and wash it occasionally.

    You should be very proud. :)
