Customs Hows a chopped 4 door merc supposed to look?

Go to 49MercJack profile photos and find out! Its worth it for those that are interested.

 

need more pics hard to get a overall look at it

 

Nice profile on the roof! Really like the reveal of the door frame/sail panel also...

Bttt

 

I've always liked the look of John Barnes 4dr...

 

I like how the rear door window resembles a Coupe quarter window.

 

Apples and Oranges but i wouldnt mind a night out on the town in that thing myself.

 

Ditto.....looks really neat, and should work great, practically, and visually.

and not that it matters, the sewer pickle still is my benchmark as the best 4 door ever...


Cheers,

Not saying "BEST",but I like the look. Of course,that was before seeing the quarter window treatmant on that one! Don't use the word "BEST" very often...cause something else great always comes along.

 

Ill tell ya , Bo Huffs latest more door chop is no joke either!

 

This one looks good. It's in Hawaii and belongs to 50merc808.

 

Thats very nice. I just thought the one I found was extra special because of all the extra work to acheive the length and shape of the window frames.

 

49MercJack ? no such profile unless im doing something wrong?

 

It dont matter now. The pics are all on here.

 

Haven't seen that one yet!

 

Its that white one with the F 1OO grille that he did for the Ol Skool Rods impresario, Geno Di Pol.

 

Hey Bob do you have a pic of my dads merc i dont have any on my pc

Hello, Thanks for comments. At first i want excuse me for my bad english. My name is Jackson and I live in Brazil. Here in Brazil is very difficult to find 49-51 mercurys and this very expensive build American cars especially when you need to import parts from US because the parts come to cost 3 times more. I don´t have benchmark for mercurys customs in Brazil, only in magazines like Car Kulture Deluxe, Kustoms Illutrated and internet. So it is very difficult to build a merc custom here. My idea in the chop was to leave the roof and the rear door window resemble the quarter window Coupe, the color will be black, white walls, Sombrero hubcaps, fenders skirts and the 302 ford engine.
Thanks a lot

 

This is the Bo Huff car he said it's gonna be in Santa Maria if you want to see it up close...

 

What a great example & it is kool that they didn't get carried away and over chop it. Kan't
wait to see the more updates. One of the best 4dr Merc in this area. Bill and Deanna
Baker's from Lamar, Mo.

 

This is how I thought my '49 ( in process) was supposed to look circa 1957

 

Gary Howard has done a few fine examples

El Jefe's 4 Door Merc



Dan Richards 4 Door Merc

 

There is nothing wrong with a four door chop Merc.I like them all.Cool pictures guys.

 

I think your idea to shape the rear of the roof and the quarter window like you did is fantastic! Absolutely the best 4 door chop I've ever seen. Hands down.

Good job man!

 

that is great work!!! and lots of it to get those rear doors like that.. the huff merc is awesome ive never seen before..

 

Yeah, Bos new one rocks. Its the only one I dig with the back window moved forward.

 

ohh my , thats SICK!!!!

 

Or pick up a copy of last month's Rod & Custom, and see how an 83-year old guy has been doing it for many, many years.

 

Like it been said before I love the way the rear door windows are shaped like a coupe, great job!
