Amen to that. I never really liked these cars when I was younger, but I really like em' now. Love the HUGE front bumpers.
Score...
Welcome to the group. I love those big ol' Mercs.
The rust is half the fun. And from what I see in the pics, it ain't that bad.
Looks badass. Makes me wish I still had my 61'.
I saw an old 4-dr. hornet at the local pick-a-part that looked to be in better condition than the one in the original pic. Sucks to see em' go...
Well I was going to say it was your fault, but just realized that if they sent you the whole thing pre-assembled with the bearings already...
Looks good. I never would've thought of those for a 58'.
I would start out in school. It may cost a bit especially now, but the way the world is now you need the piece of paper saying you know your butt...
Thanks for the kind words everyone. The school is Warren Tech it is actually in Lakewood just outside of Denver.

That sucks, love the ol' 57's. Miss mine. Hope to get one again someday.
The notch isn't supposed to be any deeper than half of the frame rail. Boxing should be done at least 6" on either side, but the way it is it...
My dream car and house. Very nice.
I showed up to the show late. Alot of cars had already left. Here are a few photos I took. I didn't even realize that the Merc. was BadBobs, very...
That has to be one of the coolest old boats I've seen. And with a "W" engine. Don't get much cooler. Congrats. Post pics as you go.
Looks like a good car to start with. The rear wheel wells look pretty good as well.
Welcome aboard.
I love the truck. Hope to build one like it someday.
F'ing bastards!!! I feel for you. Hopefully they are found.
Yea, I've got the right intake. I'm mostly concerned since the engine isn't stock. It's opened up to a 301, and I'm running an Isky RPM-300 cam,...
