Thanks for posting those great pics and reviving this thread.
@John Lee Williamson , Cool, iconic, custom Merc, but the chop definitely takes it out of the "mild" category.
This is weird, I'm quoting myself from page 3 of this thread. But it feels appropriate because @Sky Six sent me a PM after deleting the pictures...
the thing above is not really a "late model" kustom like the original poster was looking for. Should be later than 1965 for starters. This looks...
Holy master cylinder, Batman!
Flattop Bob builds good models ... :D:D:D
Wow, Dave. Sooo kool. I'm so happy for you. Assume that the tires are 20 years old too?? Not cheap, but really should be replaced if you're...
It's kinda like Christmas everyday when the UPS guy shows up. You should consider building a diorama, like a 1/25th scale living room to display...

I talked with Doug about his Studebaker and got to see his "build" photos when I asked him if the car had been widened. The answer is "Yes", and...
@Sharpone pretty cool, huh? I had the pleasure to visit about 3 years ago. Everything you say is true, such cool and unique items, displayed...
Congrats on the milestone 50 years of marriage. You guys are doing something right! And the tail lights, with the backup lights below and the...
Yep, pretty cool old custom. Surprised it took 7 posts before any one noted the correct grill and tail light ID. Also, from area below...
Rich, Was great to meet you and get to see your 'family Merc'. It is one of @OG lil E 's favorites, as noted in the first post of this thread. I...
I'd say it's perfect.
