did you weld the headlights fully or just those tacks.?

 

Diggin this car

 

Headlights are 100% welded , same as seems below the trim , instead of 3 piece they are now 1 piece fenders

One very Kool looking Mercury. Love the subtle slant forward on the tail lights changes it up beautifully.


Crazy bout' a Mercury

 

I like how subtle your mods are. Those sometimes are the best.

Is that an original Mercury continental kit?? Can't wait to see that on!

 

Yes it is , stoked

I wanted to go nuts on the car , but still use all my factory stainless and trim , just to tease the eye a little

Looking good...'55/'56 Mercs were my favorite cars waa-aaaay back in HS...(I graduated in '61 so they weren't that old then...!!!), but, I became a Chevy man when (and after) I bought my second car- a '57 Chevy in 1960...still like to see well-done Mercs of those years and yours is coming along nicely...!!!
