    I am always looking for extra parts. Let the others that are missing items get first dibs, and I would be interested in what you have left over.

    No Merc's were harmed in the build
    Rear bumper is 56 Plymouth and tail lights are custom made
    Dad did not build it, it was built by Rick Dore, Bill Reasoner , chop and carson top by Dick Dean
    Just had the pleasure of owning and driving it

    It's pretty solid a lil rust by the tail pan on the trunk floor and a lil but on the pass side floor. I'm really debating on how crazy to get with this thing , as far as chopping it ! Haha

    I know I miss mine.

    - In 2004 it was mostly stock, but I still had a good time driving her (a lot changed over the years, obviously).
