Customs Before and After shots of Big Eddie's 51 Mercury

i looked into renting a shop awhile back, they were looking to get 2500 or so for a 3000 sq so i built one at my house and the payment is still way cheaper

 

Bitchin man!!! I wish we had more space here in burbank!!! We're shopping for a house right now and my wife is pretty cool, she's made sure to tell her real estate agent to send info on properties with large garages .

Im gonna have to go visit one of these days Matt!!

 

Matt's shop is just a hole in the wall...You wouldn't like it Ian,hahaha!

 

Holy Shit!!! Now i definitely gotta go visit!!! What a shop...... WOW!!! And there seems to be quite a few cool Vehicles in there too!!

 

Nothing special...just a few Mercs!

 

i picked up 500ft of 2 ga wire today that i stored off craigslist for about 1/2 price that will feed the shed.. just a few more things and ill have POWER!! you have to nickle and dime everything when you steel money from the garage fund to buy a merc....had to do it.. it was the KEEPER!!

 

I really admire your work. Excellent job on cleaning up those doors. Can't wait to see more.

 

I kinda' liked it the way it was. Can you undo it? HAHAHAHAHAHA....
Ian, YOU ARE THE SHIT!!!! I can't wait to see it in person. I LOVE the wind wings. Been crazy busy at work. Haven't had a chance to come over. Eddie

 

Damn dude. You do great work. Kickass!

Stoked for you Eddie! I cant wait to see it either.

 

simply amazing work. Wish i had someone around me to teach me how to chop cars, do metal work, body work, anything. Good luck with the rest of the build, and with your own car.

 

i also forgot to ask...what size tires is he running on this merc? and how tall is the ww?

 

Bitchin!!! There's no power in there right now??? You run long extension cords?

Cleaned up nice , but definitely the hardest thing i worked on so far..... totally underestimated this job, by far!!!

Right on bro!!! Glad you're stoked!!! I'll be done by tuesday for sure.

Thanx Eryk, Can't wait to meet you at GNRS!!! I saw your car when it was at Donnie's.... bummer, glad it's fixed and you can't tell it was hit!!

Thanx man..... JUST DO IT!! Buy some essentials tools and go at it . Trial and error man, that's all it is.......and passion!! The tires are 710-15's firestones. it's the biggest www they sell!!

 

thats fucken sweet!

 

just remember that 2 ga is only good for 94 amps. and if you run 100 feet or more you you lose voltage. there is a cheat sheet that shows you how much. just trying to help a brother out. maybe you already know?

 

One never gets tired of watching art in the making!

 

That car is lookin SIC!

 

Thanx fellas!!!

 

A little leading to clean up the worked areas a little smoother!!

 

That sow's ear is really starting to look like a silk purse.

 

HAHAHA!!! Thanx Chili Phil!!

 

looking good..

 

sheeet man, that's looking real damn fine.

 

Looking great!!

 

looks awesome, keep up the nice work!

 

Thanx guys!!! Gonna have to finish the rear garnish after the GNRS!! Gotta finish the odds and ends on my 51 before the show!!

 

Your lead work is really coming along and he'll be happy with that work for sure.

I can't wait to see your car up close and in person on another note!

 

Looks great!

 

Nice work man! Its gonna take an old priest and a young priest to fix that top.

 

HUGE improvement! you do good work. the rounded door corners look really good

 

I want to thank Ian for all the work he's put into my heap. The man is a true artist. He's salvaged my "handiwork" and for that I am truly grateful. Thanks again my friend, Eddie

These were taken today in L.A. Near Koreatown.
