That Washington blue '39 Merc is gorgeous!
I just went through this entire thread, even though it's been quiet for over a year. I picked up a project that I am considering flaming. For me,...
Two of my guys spent their formative going to shows like the Road Agents with me. Neither has followed the path but both are tuned into cars of...

Hi Jerry, I want to say thanks for the conversations about paint color when I was getting my '41 sedan ready. I love the green on your coupe but...
Dan, the car has a great look.
It's a beauty for sure. I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes but the color looks like Mandarin Maroon, a stock color for '40. I like it so...
Thanks for taking and sharing all the photos. The response on here shows that it certainly is appreciated. The Nikon 810 is a beautiful piece of...
Really nice color for the car. You did good.
FWIW I'm pretty sure those are '40 Buick Roadmaster tail lights. They look great!
and the car is nice too
This thread is making me nervous. I'm 69 and am planning on retiring soon. I bought a project for my retirement because I figure I have a few...
When I read the title I thought "well, of course, no hood sides". But I try to be objective and after seeing the photos I thought "well, of...
Good thing you picked up on the shavings, it would be a shame to have it waiting all that time then turn to crap. What else do you know about the...
I'm a little late to this party but am looking for fat fenders with flames (just because). The job that was done on your '40 is outstanding!
Stogy, the photoshop looks great and is sure presents options realistically. I just picked up a '39 Merc 4 door with other plans in mind. After...
I'm 5'10" (at least I used to be) and had a Model A coupe ('30) channeled the depth of the frame with a full height top. The package tray was...
We had a local McD's the next town over in Enfield CT. Enfield had a reputation for lots of fast cars. This was in the late 60s and it did not...
It's an absolute beauty. Congrats! Early Mercs can be turned into such gorgeous customs. So good that someone had the vision back in the day.
Just re-read this entire thread because I just picked up a '39 Merc four door sedan. Amazing build and the way you describe your process makes it...
Really a nice, clean car. It's great! All I could think of when seeing the lead photo was the Batmobile
This A is awesome! The chop looks terrific and a SBC should certainly be considered traditional sixty five years later. My last car was a '50s...
This is a great thread. I couldn't see what you just picked up but the rest shows great vision and a skill set to back it up. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for all the great photos.
It's a very cool find. I think everyone on here would be quite pleased to have it in their garage. Congrats, please post progress along the journey.
Yeah, the car is a stunner. Anyone have contact information?
Wow! Great looking group, looks like a really fun event.
The car looks great! Anyone know who the owner is or what the paint is (year/make/model)?
This should be a good group to put this question to. I just picked up a '39 Mercury 4 door. It has aftermarket headlights that I'm lukewarm on...
Our local place was Deb's in Springfield MA. Late 60's, Carl Debian (sp.) owned it and had a set of rollers built into the floor. He tuned all...
