Customs 1956 Mercury

View attachment 5917557 View attachment 5917555 Just finished my mercury about a month ago. I posted allot In the social forum but figured I’d throw some pics out here on the main board. Still I’m thinking about doing some candy on the roof. I am also debating lowering it a bit more. Anywho here it is.

 

I wish I knew how to do emoji things on this board.
I’d have done 10 “thumbs up”.

 

I like it just as it is!

 

Me too!

 

TITS!!

 

Badass!

 

Very nice! What’s the story on the shift knob?

 

Wow, beautiful!

 

Sweet!

You dont need to change a thing.

 

I bought an ornament thing from flintstone studios, it was like a greaser guy, wearing the hat so I cut off the greaser head and drill and tapped the hat for the shift knob and away we went.

Man, that's nice! Hope to see it cruising around Houston.

 

Gorgeous

 

Yessir, we been cruising around quite a bit.

 

Beautiful as it is. And 3 pedals in a Merc. Can you talk about that, or is it off topic under the hood?

 

I wouldn’t say it’s off topic, 60’s vintage 302 mustang engine, trans is more modern ‘82 mustang T5. Rearend is original 4.x to 1 so the overdrive is nice to have

 

NEATO!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks haha

 

Thanks, even better. Has to be a great cruiser, as nice rolling as sitting.

 

Very nice
