    Hi all,
    There was a link (and pics posted on here) a while back (maybe a year ago?) about a guy doing a ch***is swap using a 90-something Caprice and a '49-50 Merc...there was WAY more work involved than I would have expected...lotsa pictures of the build, the guy worked at a lowrider shop or something and this seemed to be his "back-burner" car. I can't recall the name of the guy, the shop, & my bookmarks have changed...anyone know who or what I'm describing? Just trying to keep tabs on the project and see if it's moving along. It was inspiring...Thanks-

    That's it! You're awesome.
    Looks like he either hasn't updated in a while, or hasn't worked on it in a while...
    But- Thanks!!!!!!

    That is IN-sane! Way more involved than I would ever DREAM of attempting...and I like it without a chop too. Hope I can see that in person one day...Thanks for the pics!
