Mercurys suck!! Kan't believe that your cutting up that poor old car. You should have
left it alone. Sorry, thread was getting to mushy...LOL!!! Sorry didn't come over this

So when I get done with mine and you with yours, are we still gonna trade? Or was that a dream I had?

Real life sucks!!!

 

Oh-no

I'll hafe to think about it

I've got some updates,but no damn pics I'll try to get twotallokie over to my house to snap a few,my computer took a crap again,must be all the car-porn I was lookin at

 

I should have done it last night while I was there. Sorry, I must have vapor locked
when I was checking the sled out. Dustin is doing a heck of a job getting her ready
for the road. Looking forward to follow'n it around this summer.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Thanks Mick,but if you follow me,we'll be lost!!

 

Car looks great Dustin....Have you had the chance to fire the engine yet ?

 

Hey Daryl,haven't even thought about it,still need to get a harness.I haven't been too worried about it though,bought it from a master mechanicJust got finished with the rear suspension,and need to jump back on the top fpr a while.I probably won't mess with the harness till after the first part of may.I have a car I need to finish for a buddy.I'll keep ya posted!!

 

Hey Dustin, that is looking great! Can't wait to see it on the road!

 

You'll be able to see it at the Stray Kat 500. Last night I just had to sit back and
stare at it. I bet Dustin thought that I had fallen asleep. The chop has to be one
of the best that I've seen..... unless Dustin screws it up..Ha, ha,ha,

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

coming along great man

 

Thanks Tom!! Damn Mick,you tryin to jinx me

 

Ha, ha, ha,.... Just messing with ya!! I thought that I was getting to mushy when
I said that it was one of the best chopped Mercs that I've seen. I had to get it
back to being HAMB friendly. I almost stopped by driving to work this morning to check
it out again. Love the skirts!!

Happy Trails,

Mick
