    I've seen that Merc at the pileup. Very cool. I will be joining you in Downers Grove in about two weeks. I am moving from Milwaukee to Downers and bringing the jalopy with me. Watch out for the U-Haul going three-wide through the toll booths!
     
  15. Best I can do is my old lady's from Oswego. Didn't know any of those places existed til I met her, now I've been to or heard of bout all of em! I managed to move her down here to Tennessee though. We Southern boys are stealin your women between buildin our rods. :cool:

    Nice Merc!
     
  16. Welcome from Aurora - I don't own a Merc but I like yours. Did it used to be all white and say "No Wings" on the trunk lid?
     
  17. Welcome to the H.A.M.B., from a mid-Illinoisian. :)

    Rarerodder, quit stealing our women- there's not all that many good ones left up here.:eek: :D
     
  18. Welcome from Chicago.I have a 57 Fairlane one off custom former '60 's midwest show car I'm restoring.Did you get that Merc from a guy named Russ?
     
  19. I will admit that I had to go all the way up there to find one who likes old cars about as much as I do! She's says she likes me to go work on my cars....hmmm, ya'll thnk she means that in a good way?:confused:
     
  20. Well, when my wife says that, she doesn't mean it in a good way. :D

    nickey chevy 60 I do know Russ but he never owned my merc. I thought about that 57 you bought from him but I already have to many projects. how about some more pics of it? are you going to restore it or change it. I know the shop that customized it is still open. showrod
