Projects Another Merc chop, or how to ruin a good car...

THIS ^^^^ is what Barris was after. "The Perfect Teardrop." George said it himself.

 

Perfect flow!!

 

You can chop my 50’ anytime brother
Fantastic work man!!!!!

 

I finally got to send a few hours on my own project.

 

Is the rear window just being laid down?

 

Yes, the back window gets laid down as the roof is lower.

 

amazing work! you absolutely nailed it.

 

I ask because, like the title of your thread, I’ve seen cars where some wannabe cut the roof and then found out they couldn’t get glass for it to fit. Too many cool cars have been hacked and then sold off because someone didn’t plan. You see them in the online classifieds all the time.

 

I know what you mean. I don't think my hacked on cool car will be in the online classifieds any time soon. But....ya never know....

 

No, I reckon you’ll do just fine.

 

Damn nice work!!!!! Perfect flow in that roof line. I’d let you chop my 50’ any day bro

 

I'm waiting for the part where you ruin it, not seeing it.

 

Snuck in a few more hours on the Merc. Gotta be really smoooth……

Finally finished up on some of my other work. Get to spend time on the Merc now. Doing a little stainless windshield trim.

 

Got the stainless in the back window gasket.

 

Not bad. Needs a Winfield fade though. Hehe.

 

Still lovin it. The door and window treatment is a knockout, and the whole gig just works. Excellent...

 

Nice job on that windshield stainless. Did you do the welding and polishing?

 

Yes.

 

Nice, nice job!! Wanna do mine? Hahahahahahaha!!!!

 

How’s your Merc these days? Road worthy? You planning on the CCR this year?

 

Merc is currently down for the count. Rounded off the cam. I was just going to fix it, but landed a freshly rebuilt motor and decided to take the opportunity to finally fix the whole front end. Progress is slow with other projects going on, but hope to be back on it soon. So, yes, I'll be at Indy, but not with the Merc. I have a surprise up my sleeve....

 

And when will you unveil the surprise???????

 

@wide34 a few more weeks. It's being picked up Sunday and going to Dallas for a buff and polish to freshen up the lacquer. Hopefully in my hands early March. My friends keep saying how patient I am and that they would be chewing their arm off....what they don't know is I'm typing with my feet since both of my arms are now missing. LOL

 

youve done a great job with this chop, its got a spot on flow!

 

What a great looking chop, sorry it took so long for me to find this project. Bob

 

Windshield stainless…chop, cut, splice, weld, grind, smooth, polish, and install.

 

Masterfully done!

 

Details maketh it!
