Projects building a mercury tbucket

have frame started and parts from the donor car and welding and grinding at producing a good frame. thanks for all incouragement recieved!!
will post pics soon.

 

Anxious to see how you do the tailgate. What body are you using?

 

Come on send pictures! I want to see what your T Mercury body looks like.

 

Here's a T Mercury body, but it's no bucket

 

Tease

 

Cool body, my dad used to own the original one that all of the repopped bodys were made off of. Sent it to Ireland from Hershey one year.

 

Naa, not a real merc speedster. justa Corbin tbucket gl*** body with a gl*** pickup bed - 48'' {may shorten it}
Gets the merc name frm the merc donor blimp. using the 255 ci flattie and
mercomatic air cooled auto ****** with a merc 8.8 rear end.
going to label it mercury instead of Ford. good conversation piece. like the looks of the flattie. and wanted old school look.
If i don't like it I have a rebuilt 460 truck engine and c6 in an 87 pickup that could be used if needed.
