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 - **** "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 belly****on 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.
