Projects ACME Speed Shop New Project Car

I'm telling you Doug, one you get this car on the road you are going to start that 41 pick up. It is like a voice in your head that won't shut up. Besides a man needs a hot rod and a custom (at least one of each).

So happy for you. Now get it goin'.

 

Looks awesome!!!

 

subscribed, this is going to be so cool

 

Great look Doug. I especially like the fact that you kept it with a STOCK height roof!. I think the proportions are much better that way.................Mike

 

Wow! What a score. That car looks amazingly solid and complete. A perfect starting point!

 

No turning back now, the black is starting to go down

 

Awesome. No idea how I missed this one!

Mercs look just as good without a chop as they do with one.

 

We have the engine and transmission installed. Slow but steady lol

Milestone day here, the Merc has moved under it's own power for the first time since I started! We are not ready for the street yet but it will not be long until we are doing shake down runs. Long time coming but worth every minute.

Looks fantastic. I love unchopped mercs.

What are your plans for interior, tires, hubcaps etc?

The paint came out beautifully.

 

Doug , your Merc is really looking good ! Nice to see that you have'nt given up on the long journey to personal satifaction . The car has a great stance .

 

Looking good! Won't be long now!

 

Took the first drive in the Merc tonight. Had to gas her up and then put a few miles on her. Everything went well and we are close to logging some serious miles.

I see that there is still no back window in it...no luck? Merc looks good. I'm in the color sanding stage on a 50 now.... God I hate color sanding...

 

Three piece rear window has been a challenge. The next attempt will be with your method Matt, hope for the best. Thanks again for all the help.

 

Wow! The Merc is great looking!

 

Looking good, first drives rock!

 

Congrats Doug, cant wait to see it in person!

 

wow...killer stance!!

 

Just waiting on a few parts and buttoning up some loose ends. Everything seems to work well together and I hope the shake down miles continue to bring a big smile to my face.

 

Nothing like cruising in a Merc.... Glad to see you are on the road and having a good time. I want to see it in person. When you gonna have it out again?

 

Looking good!

 

Car looks great Doug, can you explain what you did with the chassis? I didn't see any reference to it but it looks like a mustang 2 front end and a 9 inch rear -end on air bags. I really like the stance and would appreciate knowing how you did it.
