Hello, I'm new here as you can tell or I wouldn't be posting to the introductions forum. My current project is a '62 Mercury Meteor. Little by little I'm cutting away the rust and boring stock parts to bring out the hidden gasser within. On the slab right now is a full boxed steel chassis with ladder bars in the rear and a Chevy '53 truck axel and leafs up front. A stroked 408W will power it hooked up to a C4 with trans brake. It still has a bit to go before I roll the new frame unerneath. I've appreciated all the good stuff I've read here when I lurk. Thanks for the opportunity to hang out here and hopefully contribute.
Holy cow! Sweet. Who is "we" BTW? Is this a build for yourself? And what are your final plans, ie. street, strip, both...? I like it. What are you using upfront? I've got an axel out of a '53 Chevy 3100 and I'm wondering what kind of box to use or if I should put a cross steer rack and pinion. When were those pix taken? Are they recent, or are you farther along now? Sorry, a lot of questions, I know, but I like knowin' there's someone out there with a common goal. -Eric
me and my wife jill yes they are resent will be on road next summer has a econline axle will use the stock meteor steering in it with diffrent tie rod ends it will be street strip with 460 30 over and fram ties and cage
Nice. Thanks for the info. I would love an update here and there if possible. I like the car and I think it is a model that will look great as a gasser. I remember Jill from the Crazyformercurys list. Her ride is lookin' nice, I hadn't seen top painted. Metalflake? Say "hi" from eflow and good to hear that the two of you are doing well and having fun with the Mercs.
