    I was curious so I googled it. It is in this link

    http://aptechdesign.com/articlelivenx/authors/2/Hart-and-Huntington-Tattoo-?Page=2

    Not even worth the time to post to photobucket to be honest. It wouldn't rate in the top 5000 Mercs in my mind....:rolleyes: the caddy bumper looks like an afterthought the rest is an abortion.
     
  3. That' because this thread is about the BEST.
    Not another Ho Hum Merc.. :D

    Some might not agree that this is the best, but I think this one deserves honorable mention:

    What a tough choice, but Bad Bob gets my vote. It isn't always about the whole package, but the at***ude of the car and driver. The flamed one is my fave!! Well, this just in!! El Jeffe's cruzer is a tie for this ***le!! And sometimes it may be the one I am lookin at just then!! FickleFella--~Sololobo~

    Since I am related to this guy, :) both of you are correct. My dad did indeed build Poison Ivy. He had that car for years until he finally sold it a few years back.

    His new one (a '55) is shown here. He just finished it this past summer. He did have a 53 Ford and sold that too. Both the 51 and 53 were totally old skool and had flatties in them. His new one is a little more modern, kind of a new concept for dad.

    Pretty cool seeing it posted here. :D

    Seriously....Mine isn't **** compared to;
    Jeff Nepples
    Hirohata
    Sam Barris's
    and about a thousand other amazing Mercs! Don't get me wrong,I appreciate the nod,but I also am realistic and know the difference between a "great" Merc and a driver. Mines just a driver and always will be. BEST is a very hard label to put on ANYTHING!!!!!!

    This has got to be my favorite. I believe SLDDNMATT built it. Mercury Charlies "Nadine" is close behind.

  18. I think Mercury Charlie's Merc is the best '51 built since the Hirohata. Thanks for sharing that pic from the back angle.

    No such thing.
    Otherwise that makes us a bunch of zombies
    where as, in reality, we all have different tastes.
