1949, 1950, 1951 Mercury Pictures

Kewl, good for ya. Sounds like the stuff I have to do after I finish the other side of making the bottom 5 inches of inner rocker/floor/a and b pillar...shit that will let the car now have an open door without the cowl and roof flex. Then after this, another 51 in the same shape. If I could afford a nicer start, prolly would. Shit if I could buy one 90% done, prolly would!

I just wanna fix up an old Merc tho. I could give a shit less if someone buys thier car.

I was just joshin ya like ya did with Bob, but I guess you are better at giving it than taking it.

 

and i was joshing with Bob for joshing with the prostock guy....i actually like Bob.

not sure what to think about the last part of the comment above...
all i did was answer to the comment you made prior to that ...

cheers and best of luck to you !

 

GEEZ!!! "let's not start sucking each others dicks!..."
(Pulp Fiction)
Bob's a dick!!! I should know....I have to deal with him every day,LOL!!!!

 

Hey Dave. I can see this thread will have me looking for another Merc. Maybe after I finish the 55 Chevy, the 65 Mustang, the 50 Chevy pick up, the 50 Thames....... same old story.Too many projects and too little time.

 

"gonna buy me a Mercury,and cruise it up and down the road....."

 

Still working on the Merc and here is a picture of my new dash.
Before you say anything, the steering wheel is temporary.

Two more months and the Merc is back on the road.

Happy Trails

Mick

 

Lookin good! I'm loving that dash and can't wait to see it in Dewey. The 3 year old says every day she is going to "Okahoma".....the only time she has ever been there was for the Stray Kat.

 

You talking about the small stainless ones on the outside of the windows ?

 

Yeah around the windows. I might have one lead from Jannes.

 

What's wrong with the wheel? LOL!!!!

 

I'm saving up for a flamed billet one. ?????

 

I ain't got the talent or the bucks to get my stainless cut down so I used that plastic door edge guard, low buck, got it from JC Whitney, a 20 ft. roll is like $ 19.95.
From 5 foot away you can't tell the difference.

 

Here's a pic from a photo shoot yesterday. Thought I would update,HA HA!

 

Lookin' good Bob!Whats this photo shoot for?

 

I think it's for Deadbeat Magazine. She said maybe the cover!!! That would be cool...

 

I knew this was going to happen ....

 

Much better ! Nice work. If only it was that quick and easy. Thanks

 

wow cant believe i never saw this car anywhere!

 

I tell ya Im ALL about chopped Mercs, but this would make a reeeal nice cruiser.

The 51 that changed my thinking was 51MercCT's car...that thing is NIIICE (looks similar to the photoshop car here) A real classy non chopped cruiser.

 

Great start !! Need help part`s - Mercury charlie

 

Charlie, you coming to Ink-n-Iron again this year?

 

A WORK IN PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

any clue what grille that is in there? im curious how a 55' olds grille would look when it was cut and V'd

 

hey smokinflathead!did you channeled your car?,looks really nice

 

I love this thread, it's better than any book I could find on Mercs. Thanks again to Bob and the guys for answering all my questions.

I can see why some folks really prefer the drip rails.

 

Surprised no one posted a pic of the Gold Rush Merc in this thread.

 

Uh oh, wait til Bob sees that pic. No skirts and what looks like 20's on the back, he's gonna getch' you......

 

Fernies chop came out nice.. Me like, much better since the first day I saw it...
