Customs HAMB Merc Club! who's in?????

I have two "Mercs". Not the lead sled variety but more modern stuff like a 64 Comet and a 61 Meteor wagon (marketed by Mercury but really a Ford with different trim)

 

I've got a 55 merc convertible on the way but it's not a keeper for me. I've got a 54 Ford that was grafted to a 52 merc that's a glasstop that I probably will keep.

 

Now Bad Bob, gota take it Hot August Nights at least once, it's on my Bucket list. Now, as for the other events you mentioned, thay are now on my list as well, Thanks.

 

count me in too !!!
Me & my '40 coupe in summer of '58;I also have a '40 convertible (076)
A couple of pix of the coupe abt 2004.
my mor door parts car (got a hood latch from it)
A Jitney bus I could have had at one time (couldn't get it home)
and my very first MERCURY, circa 1951, (w/ bro & sis)
the coupe is finally being worked on this year, getting a Mustang II front suspension, Ford 9 in. rear, & a 351C.

48 Merc Convertable, built by my late Father and late Grandfather in the winter of 1970-1971....

Cool!!!! New guys....

 

Here is my 50 convertible.

 

Perfection Plumb!!!!

 

Blown Ardun!awesome.

 

Hi Bob, Hope this works right this time. Had my first 51 in 1955. Still love em!! Photos are current projects, complete cars and parts stash. NO PARTS FOR SALE! There are a lot more pictures of my cars on the Rikster's site under Paul Bragg. Metal work is complete on the 50 hardtop and the 54. Hope to start paint and finish by fall. This is what happens when you keep piling up stuff for 50 years. See ya! Tinguy

LOVE that Ardun Power ...............

 

Hey Paul, your collection is incredible- and so is your talent!

I figured I couldn't comment in here without joining, so I guess I will add my name to the merc roster with this future project...anybody have a set of quarter panels for sale? I have everything else to piece it back together...but it is years down the road...other projects have priority...

Plumb, beautiful car! Tinguy, I know you said nothing "for sale" but if you ever need an arm/leg/kidney/liver, well....you just let me know! I am drooling over that stash of decklids stacked up there haha. Beautiful Mercs you have, excellent!

 

This one has my interest!

 

Paul,you have a fine collection of cars.Saw your 51 rag in Davenport at the KKOA Spectacular,and your green 50 in Holland,Michigan.

Plumb,you did something that a lot of guys don't do.You kept the stock dash in your car.I think the 50-51 dash is gorgeous.Why guys change to put a 49 dash in is beyond me.Like they say in Italian,"Salsicc isown"Just my opinion.Take it for whats it worth

 

Paul -- Great to see you posting your pictures. Everybody enjoys
hearing about your projects, but seeing them posted by the Tinguy is extra special. You are true master of your craft -- both in
design and workmanship.
Hope you and Pat can make it to Saline, KS in July.
Bill

 

Thanks for posting the pics Paul ! I love your work, the style and quality are beautiful !!

 

Hi all and thanks! Thanks Bill for help on photos. Don't know about Salina. Love to be there. Koolkemp, Great 47 thread! Wow! What a project! It takes tenacity for sure. You might want to ck my 41 project on Rikster's site under Paul Bragg. some build photos. Shoebox 50, Whats with your 1/4s? Do you really need to replace? How about some photos ?See ya. Tinguy

 

Just to let everyone know.....Lincoln Premiers appear not to fit my '52 Mercury wheels. Seems like the teeth are not nearly long enough to grab the wheel. Next up epoxy and trim rings....I'm going to get those fucker's on the car if it's the last thing I do!!!!

 

HAHAHA! I guess it's like Sombreros....Same deal!
