That door looks like it's getting a lot better!
I have a chopped 50 Ford I can't give away. This is tough out there, easily the worst we have seen in our lifetime. Edgar, if you need help...
John you friggin rockstar, on all kinds of forums. ;) http://tow411.yuku.com/topic/99563
Oh don't get me wrong, I am not dogging the car or the fact that it's plexi, it's just driven me nuts for years trying to figure that out. Good...
Post 98 shows what I have thought for years staring at pictures. There is no way Wolf Christenson's (sp?) back window is not modified. Either...
These stupid cars are worth money.
Ha!
Thanks guys, it's a 51 Merc but the chassis and drivetrain are 1977 Olds 98. So, it's an Olds 350 with some sort of automatic. My wife is sick...
I did this, probably will on my 51 now if I can get it to resemble a car again. Just close the hood with it lining up reasonably well, trace the...
Tristan, I never even saw those S10 mounts! Wow, thanks a bunch man, that might be a solution. I doubt my lazy ass will move the motor if I can...
I just cut one up and scrapped it this afternoon! ;) Good luck with it! So much easier not having the pesky body in the way.
Sorry, I forgot to add, I pulled all the plugs figuring hydrolocking was my first route. Nothing. MMOd the death out of it, and nothing changed....
Hey guys, I am about to spend some time on my Merc and now the motor is locked up. I rule. Story is I had a plate over the carb hole on the...
Wow that's a helluva shot it took. Good luck fixing it, that's pretty much what I see happening every time I drive in that God forsaken state.
Fantastic! Enjoy! I too just bought another Merc a few weeks back and in West Virginia (after a tire blowout) my trailer lights stopped working....
That'd be cool! Outside parking is a good idea. I'd try and bring my Merc but not park too close to a dumpster, the sanitation company might get...
I have no idea how to mount a radiator in here. SOS!
Great job!
Fantastic. Excellent work!
Ha! Dave, the wagon is going, auction ending tomorrow morning. Good riddance to that thing. Plugging away on this thing when time allows....
Looking great!
Good work, I don't know nor care to the whole politics of the story, but I think it's going to have a nice shape to it. My question is when they...
Car looks great John! Quick q....is that on a GM floor or just frame?
I apologize for my inability to not highlight this gem.
Good point, I love your Merc. I bet it rides like a million bucks, I am hoping to find out soon! I am thinking since I have the inner rockers in...
Those tail lights rule! This is going to be a killer shoebox!
Different! Lot's of high quality work here. I am the type of person who thinks inside the box, consistently, with cars. It's refreshing to see...
Really? That seems a lot of weight for the 302. I had one once, and I know the thing weighed a tremendous amount, but I just pulled a Lincoln...
Ha, it's just a pile of junk right now but here are some pics nonetheless (at the bottom) Here's a few pics of the 51 Merc. This is kind of...
Well, late last week after unexpectadly taking custody of another Merc project (turning a Baby Lincoln 4 door into a Merc 2 door) I decided to...
