Larry is from Appleton WI and built this Merc himself. Yes, he turned the '51 rear window over when he chopped it. The flames were added over this last winter. Cool Guy, Cool Merc.

 

Here is a picture from last year before the flames..



And Larry's other Merc.

 

Thanks for the info, that is some great work and gives me some ideas! Appreciate your taking the time.

 

Very Kool! I want aware of Rod action covering the first Spectacular. I'm going to have to find this issue.

 

They didn't have much on it , here is the other page, just the three pages but that's better than nothing at all when a event is just getting started ....

Thank you for posting the info. I have the show in Street Rodder and Classics and Customs magazine.

 

The Classics&Customs that you referred to is it this Custom Rodder?

Oops I forgot about that one, I have that issue too, It was a magazine that was out in the eighties called Classics and Customs (something like that) I'll see if I can find it...

Was at a 800 vehicle show in Penticton BC over the weekend.

Thanks for all of the kool post... @PasoJohn took these kool pics at last weekend. Love this Plymouth, makes me want to find some mud flaps for the Merc.
