Projects MZKITY 49 Merc Bodgey Chopped Top Project

What work is she doing on the Merc? This thread is loosely based on a Merc project, but has all the trappings of just a plain old RANT. Also, what is with all the profanity!

Show some cl*** and technical content. Isn't that what this forum is all about...sharing ideas and experience about traditional rides? Just my opinion. You don't have to agree with it.

 

Thanks for that. The previous owner actually cleaned it up a fair bit I believe, fitted tacho (but I didnt want anything too modern) had a new wiring lume fitted and he also fitted the desoto 11 tooth grill etc. They offered it to me for sale after I had hounded them for ages and gave her up to buy their 1st home . I promised Id do my best to get her up to standard as A: I have the means and B: Im willing to put my hands to anything.

 

Too busy playing with their peckers and model cars.

 

This IS a good forum. I've been here about 9 years and doing these cars since they were new. Like you I know enough about things to get the job done very well. I also learned "here" not all car guys are Smart enough to take good advise. I enjoy spreading what my years at it have taught me. Don't let some **** derail you. Stick around and enjoy this place at your own level, screw the Key Board Bad ***es. Even the best professors can't teach the Village Idiot how to wright. I've learned to be very careful who I try to coach.
Nice job on the frame horns, and keep posting what you're doing.
The Wizzard

 

The profanity is based upon opinions of others putting me down as a tradesperson. And what have I done? I dunno? More in 2 days than most do in 2 months. Front of Car fully dismantled, Radiator replaced with larger Aluminium Custom one, Dangerous Battery relocated, Dash Removed so I can sheetmetal new panel, Butchered Ch***is now reinforced and safe, Steering removed and cut down so it no longer rubs on wishbone, Engine lifted and sitting crane, Body Schutz removed from inner doors and 1 hell of a long ordering list underway. You my sir are a little bit of a killjoy. Call me what you want but I took a Frankenstein and will turn her into a gem...........dont believe me? watch this space.............OR DONT!

 

Hay radgirl

I liked your input on the brake issues, but didn't comment like your aggressive rebuild of the project!! and i want to follow to the end, so please be cool!! or this tread is gone, your offended, and never come back to the HAMB and we ALL LOSE!! show me your stuff!!

 

thanks RADGIRL, i wont be home for a long time. i come home on a little 21 day vacation pretty soon, but then i come right back over. i plan on doing a 6-8 inch widening on my 34 dodge while im home.

i realized a long time ago that i cant please everyone, so i might as well make sure im happy with what im doing a frak everyone else. keep going with your build and keep posting those build photos. gives me something cool to read everyday.

 

if you were located in Kansas instead of Oz, i could use some experienced hands like that to work on my Dodge. 21 days aint enough time to do all the work i want to do, with my short experience.

 

I like Mercuries,...and profanity. Looks great so far. Keep it up.

 

Todays efforts were a little meek, for a moment I let them get to me......nearly shed a tear but gave them the bird instead. I guess my thread will be shut down soon enough but until then I will post my everyday progress. Again- Dont like my ramblings or rants? Hello...... Im a chick? What else would you expect? I attached a special little photo for the haters...................

East Coast Aussies don't take s**t!
Go! Radgirl

 

Doin good, im sure the car is glad to be in your driveway.
Dont get me wrong, but i wish i knew at least one girl that can fix a car.

 

Thank you and honestly I don't personally know any others but I so know we exist.

 

That's rad that you're gettin' that ****er back up to shape! Good luck and keep us posted!

 

Big thanks to Chefbiz62 for helping find the model of my Steering Wheel. It belongs to a 51 Hudson Hornet. I am keeping it in my car but looking at getting it refurbished

 

No major work to be done to day just loads of research and boxes of sanding discs.

 

Today welded up holes and smoothed ch***is (looks great) pulled doors and Rear Quarter Panels off her and it was a beautiful sight! You would not believe how rust free this beautiful car is? The more I do the more I wonder why someone didnt spend the time to do her properly? Removed the plastic fuel cell, tail lights and doors. Started to chip away at the freaky amount of bog her roof............there I found the most amazing show of master fabrication Ive ever seen hahaha check out the photos! I have never seen more BOG or MICKY as we affectionally call it here. and the welds, cuts and plates well see for yourself. Today finished with me stripping back the layers of paint and bog she is near bare metal. Tomorrow (Yes Sunday lol)time remove shell from ch***is. Its in too nice of a condition to not do it to the best of my ability now After shell leaves ch***is it will start so I will post more photos tomorrow night. CHop Chop wish me luck

 

Master Fabricators I tell you

 

Un****ingbelievable, I'm a bondo slinger fer sure but not on the level of this.

Go get 'em Radgirl, saving this one will earn you a place in custom heaven! That car NEEDS you.

 

Thats a tough save for sure, good luck with it, I dont know what you are going to do for windows on the sides and in the doors....gonna be hard to make that roof look right, lots of work ahead of ya! Glad you got it instead of whoever had it in the first place, shame they made such a mess out of a good car. Jim
