Tent find Mercury! Chopped!

Fresh out of long term storage! So far its supposedly out of Nebraska chopped in the late 50's early 60's. One hell of a chop for that early! stock grill unfrenched headlights! only thing done was the roof was chopped! looking for info if you have any? This pic is pre 1982! lil help???

 

Looks like something the Findlaysons out of Alliance Nebraska had. They were into HEAVY chops and sectioning.

Maybe PM Rocky.

 

Very cool... nosed?

 

Thats a great find! Sorry, i am no help for info but i'll give it a bump for you.

nice car i cant help with information but id like to read the history of the build

 

More new pics to follow very soon!

 

From that one little picture, I sure like the style of the chop.

 

Great Find

 

looks like a car that my friend has its from lodi and his name is fred ..must be the same car...dont no any info on it other then it sat in new jersey for a long time next to his job then went to nebraska.dont sure who built it thoe ..i do no the car is very solid..

 

nice chop on that one

 

Normally I don't like heavy chops, but this one is pleasing to the eye from that view.

 

OOOooo is that coming south may i ask?

 

Yes it is coming south! I was from Nebraska, then out to NJ,

 

Yes, the car is coming south from New Jersey to Florida. It was chopped in Nebraska back in the early 70's I am told. It has been in Nj since the mid 70's, but never on the road. Hopefully, we can change that and get her on the road where she belongs... Running and driving. We will be loading it onto the trailer tomorrow morning, and heading back to the Sunshine State. There will be plenty more pictures to follow.

 

Anxious to see more Pics!!!

 

Great find, can't wait to see more.

 

ltorch is right it belongs to a guy fred i see him on a regualr basis, it was for sale 2 years ago i think 10 or 15000 not sure if he still got it but i can ask if interestd

 

amazing i would like to see some pics of its current state

 

The rear window sets just like mine!!! What does it look like now?

 

Mikey, I bought the car from Fred. Thanks for the info though.

 

That chop looks perfect. Any front pics?

 

NIce find, I hope somebody will recognize it and tell its story!

 

Here is a front shot taken a few days ago. Nice to see a car that hasnt been frenched or had the grill changed, especially with the chop. Its actually refreshing to look at!

 

Agreed. It's perfect!

 

Very nice. I don't know much about customs but I can say that I like that the chop was done and the front was left alone.

Looks to be a really great platform to be working from, congrats!

 

Nice find always like to see chopped mercs, new to the site but always like to see other kustom mercs

 

WOW!!! great find!!

 

lol sory got exicted i knew the car didnt really read the read right, congrats

 

Car might have been done by Tom Donahue or his father out of Scottsbluff, they were also into cars with heavy chops.
