Continental Kit

I am looking into getting a Continental kit for my 56 Merc. The kit I am looking at getting is from CONTINENTAL ENTERPRISES A Division Of
SPECIALIZED AUTOMOTIVE MARKETING, INC, and I was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with this compnay? How good is the quality of there product or if there is another company you would recommend. I have included some pics they sent me. Thanks for any help or info you guys can give.

 

They're one ot the main suppliers of continental kits. I've got one of their kits for my Skyliner that has never been installed. They make a good quality product....... and are a Canadian company. How can you go wrong

 

Looks pretty much like a direct repro of an old Foxcraft kit. Back then, the better kits from Stylecraft had an additional chrome piece for the bumper end that extends it forward to the body, giving more of a finished appearance. Somewhere at home I've got a photo of one I can scan and post over the weekend if you like.

 

I got one of there kits for my 57 cadillac years ago,very nice quality and fit great.

 

If you're going to get a continental kit, they're the place to get it from. Pricey, but very good quality

 

Good idea; good fit for a Merc.

Now, to make it old style uber' kool: Extend the rear quarters and french-in the kit !

Either way it'll look great.

I had not thought about extending the rear quarters, but that would look super cool. Now you got wheels a turning. Looks like I have something else to add on to the ever growing list of custom things I plan on doing to my Merc.

 

I love "connie kits", and the Merc will wear it well. Sounds like you are at the right source. Good luck ~sololobo~

 

I just heard from Sam at Continental Enterprise. He seems like a very friendly and helpful man. He quickly answered any questions I had and even offered me a small discount without me even asking about the price. He was also sent me another pic of the kit showing how far the kit swings to the left. I wil deffinately be doing buisness with Sam and his company. The only bad news I have is that because of how far the kit swings to the left I will not be able to extend the rear quarters. But thats ok because there are still plenty of other custom modification i can make to my Merc.

 

Yeah same is a really cool and helpful guy. I was contemplating on selling my kit to get one that comes out further.

 

I will be using them for the turnpike cruiser!!
