a little altitude adjustment on the '54

Sweetness.

 

Looks great with the skirts, cool ride.

 

Perfect! Really like those '56 Plymouth wheelcovers, too! Maybe I need to think outside the Fiesta/Lancer box once in a while!

 

i heart mark... dude, consider finding a set of blister gills once you ditch the stone caps. not the long merc style, but the short ford ones... massive cool

 

Looking good Mark.

 

Looks great General! my 53 Merc sat about the same..maybe a little lower and it seemed to handle better! lovin' it...

spike

 

Looks great, Mark!!

yea dude... lemme see what i kin dig up...

 

here ya be dude... these will fit either on the bottom like pictured, or on the front of the quarter blister...

 

one more, a bit easier to see

 

i've always been told, and been under the assumption (i know, ass of u and umption) that they were a dealer accessory item... hell, might BE crestline trim, or maybe even victoria?

i've hears them called "spears" "gills" and "blister stone guard accessory trim" so there are a few eblah keywords you might use. remember, you can use the merc ones, but they're a bit longer... maybe 3" longer or so. i have a set of the merc ones and i can measure them against a stone guard to see how much longer they are if you like.

 

yep... you'd take the drivers side and passenger side pieces and put them on the opposite side of the car... but they will work mounted either top, bottom or front edge of the blister.

 

For $1.47 plus tax, you can have the ones I took off when I went to the Merc spears.

 

shit, beat me too it
LOL

 

Got some ideas for you. I will try and post up some pictures later.

 

i cant remember offhand about the hood/decklid emblems, but the stone guards are bolted on from the back. need to pull the back seat panel under the windows and reach down there with i THINK is a 1/4" socket and pull them (2) off, and i think also a clip thats holding them on as well.

i think, THINK the trunk and hood emblems are the same deal, bolted on from the back, the v-8 emblem might be the same.

 

ps.

if you're gonna pull them off, you're gonna need to weld up the holes anyhow so dont worry about the paint bro

 

i hear ya. for fillin in them holes, use a 2" roloc medium grit and just use the edge... there are as many ways to fill em as there are holes that need filling, but i like the 16d nail trick. take a side cutter and carefully cut about 90% of the way through the shank, right below the head. hold the head of the nail in the hole and burn it in with the MIG. bend the nail shank over once and its off, roloc the stub of shank off and you're done, time for bondo and beer

 

Nice Mark. Are you going to drive her to the salt flats?

 

Wow Mark the skirts and stance. PERFECT!
