I love the grille, the stance, and no skirts. But you gotta CHOP IT!!! It's a sweet ride even if you keep it stock height, so enjoy it. I'm sure someone will get around to cutting it up eventually.
Cool ride looking for a Cool chop -look at thread by Jonnie King - Dick "Magoo" Megugorac's Story: His Chopped '49 Merc...
I wouldn't chop it either. That is what sets it apart from the other 999,000 custom Mercs out there, it's different and most people don't know why. Go bellybutton and chop it, or be unique and leave it alone. Just my 2 cents, probably not worth half that....
i have a 51 also, luv the look of yours and mine isnt chopped either. but i like them chopped also. still running the flatty in mine. hard to beat a 49-51 merc in my humble opinion.
Looks awesome as is. It would look even better with a subtle chop. One that makes you look twice to think is it or isn't it.
It would be interesting to see a photoshop of it minus 1"-2" at most. Just to take a little roundness out of the rear window transition. Maybe even lean the B pillars a little. A lot of work for minimal change, but may be worth it.
