There is a local HAMBer here who put a Ford hood on a 53 Merc, so I am thinking it should work. His HAMB name is fitzee and I believe the name of the thread is Mercury Mahem.
Yes, it's Mercury Mayhem and also the link listed below. I think post #30 shows fitting the '52 hood onto his Merc: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=558954&page=5
Thank ya fellas! There is a used one that I found with the scoop in the hood that I think might look killer.
i tried to put a merc hood on my ford and it was too narrow. i am going to cut out the center of my hood and the merc hood and put them together.
Custom53- what year was the hood and what year was the hood? Thanks. Jeff, did he fill in the scoop on that hood? Kind of looks really stumpy.
