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

You are an artist. Beautiful work!

 

Going in…

 

Well, it’s not all successes and glory. When I added two inches to the quarter window opening, it made the section around it longer. The old headliner wasn’t wide enough to cover the elongated opening. I have a little extra material so I guess I’ll glue in a few patches to cover the bad spots. Oh well, could be worse.

 

Those flip out rear windows and how cleanly you built those is one of the stories on how nicely done this car is. Others building Mercs should study your vision and execution. Another bad ass Merc getting ready to hit the streets, congrats so far.

 

Beautiful Chop!

 

Black glass is in. Paint the roof tomorrow.

 

Wow!

 

Looking too kool!

 

bruce wayne would drive that!

 

Very nice

 

Beautiful, flowing lines . Great job .

 

Awesomeness!!!!! Indy Saturday?

 

WOW!!!

 

Some members of my entourage had some late minute schedule conflicts that would put me going by myself. So it looks like some local shows and cruise ins until August. I plan on doing the KKOA event at Maggie Valley. Then the Old North State Invitational in Sept.

 

Install the belt molding spears, spotlights, and sombreros. Close to a wrap.

 

Black car red guts don’t get much better!

 

Well, that’s a wrap for now. Time to enjoy the cruise. Thanks to all who followed along on this chop journey. Long live Custom Cars!

 

That's a thing of beauty right there.

 

Sure does look great....and bummed at the same time Indy didn't work out to be able to see it in person.

 

Sure wish I could have made it. The pics I saw showed lots of beautiful cars there. A gorgeous bunch of Merc too. Maybe next year. Til then, I'm going to really enjoy her as much as I can.

 

What if you just added some extra metal to the back of the garnish moulding to fill in the gap.

 

My favorite Merc, the '51 beats them all. Someone by me has a comparable in red, also an outstanding build.

 

Beauty!

You are quite talented.
