This is a tough question to answer. If I had to choose between three nearly identical '51 Mercs in the styles noted above, I think the Carson top...
I installed Red Headers on a 8BA in a '51 Merc a number of years ago. They clear the steering box fine.
I agree with the comments above. Perfect stance for a '51 Merc static drop. Thanks for sharing the details. .
I like that Merc. I'll bump this. If you find it, I hope you'll come back and update this thread with new pictures.
I feel lucky that as a kid I could go to the Detroit AutoRama and see these amazing cars of all kinds. I've been to AutoRama countless times in...
Bump for 2024. I posted this Eleven years ago... still no luck finding out anything more about this '51 Merc.
Nice job, looks like a fun one. I'll look for it at AutoRama.
Looks good, I like it.
I think you should create a new post looking for some Flathead help in Pittsburgh. Also, go over to Ford Barn and post there. There's probably...
48 Lincoln door buttons look great on a Merc. I have a set to put on my '51 Merc at some point. Something to consider. You can by the...
Amazing. Thank you for sharing so many pictures. This is a nice tutorial for how to troubleshoot and fix a hack job.
Nice work, looks great.
Great car, one of the coolest '33 Plymouths I've ever seen.
I have a few questions. It looks like you have some pieces from another roof that you are adding to the corners above the rear window. Is that...
That's cool, I like the transformation.
Great car, looking forward to seeing it progress further.
I just ran across this after seeing your car for sale. This is such a cool thread of your experiences with this '50 Buick. If you were closer,...
Thanks for the photos. I thought the Torq Thrusts and whitewalls without skirts was a pretty cool setup. Looking forward to more photos as you...
Ya know if you need more practice ruining Mercs, I also have a '51 coupe that I can drop off for the weekend.
Nice job, looks great. Where can I find some 'before' photos of your Merc with those wheels and no skirts?
Really cool build thread. Nice job. .
This is awesome. My favorite new build thread. Nice job. Looking forward to more.
Are you putting a Flathead into your '51 Ford, or something else? That radiator won't work with a Flathead. It needs two input ports and two...

I'm going to throw a link to the reproduction Lincoln door buttons and frenching panel here, because they are very nice quality. I purchased...
Looks like a good opportunity to fix it by throwing some lace up there and give it a lace paint job. Dark charcoal paint or gloss black through...
Really cool stuff, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.
Any idea how many cars will be at CCR? I was considering attending this on Saturday without my car. I'd love to check it out, even though it's a...
Never stop learning new things. It's good for your brain. In my twenties I got a vehicle design degree. In my thirties I took welding,...
I've always thought the Hirohata Merc was pretty cool with how it had the door post removed and the door glass opening continued to the quarter...
