Projects 1940 mercury custom project

Well here we are again. I have been building this car for a little over a year. I been modifying the driveteain/frame that was not suited for HAMB site.
But on to the HAMB friendly stuff.....thee chop.here are some pics of the progress..my apologies if the pics are out of order.

 

Looks awesome. Hope to see it around town when it's done.

 

Yeah man! Looks like your on a roll. Looking forward to your posts.

 

Roofline looking much better! Looking forward to seeing more progress pics.

 

Update...coming along slowly.

 

Here is an update on my merc project..

 

Hard to beat the 40 Mercury as subject matter.

 

Digging the work. Love the slope is the chop

 

That thing is purrrtyyy !

 

A little more progress this week...narrowed the bumper so it flows with 46' ford pan. I like these gravel pans as opposed to forming from sheetmetal.

 

Are you using flux core MIG? You need to get some gas.

 

Yes,flux core wire..

 

Here us an update...slow going, but steady.

 

One more..oh ya, if anyone has a good core 1946 ford rear bumper they dont need..,let me know ,local Lynwood,ca

 

Hey mate ... just a quick question.... with the rear side wi down. Will they wind up and down when you're done?

The reason I ask is that my '39 after the chop (not done by me) are permanently closed. Just wondering what might need to be done with the winder mechanism so they work....

Ozmerc

 

I'm definitely bucked in and following this thread.

 

Hey oz..I'll post up window pics when I get to it. But for am trying to finish up body..and making new hood latch using vw latch..

 

Some progress...in the hood area

 

Front fenders blocked..man they are big..next is the hood,next time cause I'm spent blocking.

 

Should you ever go to sell it to a person in a state with square cornered license plates, you may have a problem with your sunken rear plate.

 

Way ahead of you..I ditched the idea..back to square one..moving right along. Got the front back on. Fine tuning the fit before I weld it on.

 

..I also got the door and qtr window frames squared away..

 

Looking too Kool, thanks for taking the time to keep us updated.

 

Here are some more pics of where i am at on the build. It's been a slow grind but getting there..

 

Sexy

 

Looking great!!!

 

Thanx

 

Finishing up the beat up running boards. Also window frames..fitting of rear window mechanisms is next kn the list,I want them to be functioning.
..I will post pics of that soon. It's been slow,I know .thanks. oh yes,I'm looking for usable headlight assemblies. LMK

 

Got the drivers door frame mocked up. The first one always takes a while. The other side should go smoother. Also going to mess with qtr windows and try to get them to fully function.
