another 2 dr merc is junk

[00 MACK]

Looking on ebay i saw this mess of a merc. i think it has to be the worst section job i have ever seen http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif and there is nothing good to say about the rest of the car except the shape of the 1/4 windows is good

what would make someone do that?!
fuckin lsd addicts........

[marq]

What a fuckup...............Marq

[SwitchBlade327]

if it was cheaper, it could be bought and fixed, but theres no way I'd pay what it looks like it's going up to just to have to fix all that bullshit...

[flt-blk]

Got a Cheese grader?

[00 MACK]

and to think some one is willing to pay that much for a mess.

[Duck]

I'm don;t consider myself an expert on mid-century Mercs, but to me it looks like they just cut a bunch off the bottom od the car?? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Muttley]

That should have never been sectioned in the first place. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Nice Bondo job. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[CharlieLed]

The auction said that the car came from Arizona...I'd say that TJ was a better guess...

[4t64rd]

Looks kinda like a early 60's Jag 4 dr. from the rear.

[MichaelDorman]

Bleecth...WTF!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Just goes to show that taste is all in the mouth.

And by the way, if that where my car...I'd off just as fast as I could too...and kill whoever did that.

[briggs&strattonChev]

the car is sectioned so much it looks like a penis

[Hellbilly_Buzzard]

If I paid 10k for that "chop" and "channel", I would havehad to kicked somebody's ass! Hell, for that much you better have slanted B-pillars

[RocketDaemon]

it should have been senctiond 2 over the trim line and 2 under it to make it porpotions better or something

ahh hummm

[baytowngreaser]

WTF!!!!

Why the hell would they section a mid century Merc!! That fucker must of been hittin' the crack pipe.
It does look like a jag. It could be fixed if put in the right hands. The genius that did the work need to have the shit beat outta him for mutilating such a beautiful car. What a waste!!

[Assdragger]

I was thinking it looked a little like a Hudson.

What a shame!

[pigpen]

I agree with Duck. It probably had terminal cancer in the lower panels and a quick and dirty section job was the only way to treat it on the cheap. I hope he didn't actually pay someone $10,000 to do that work although I've run into so called body men who want to get paid up front and you get your baby back two or three years later looking like this Merc. Poor, poor and piss poor.

pigpen



Disgusting, even for the warped sense of humor of the pigpen

[fab32]

Kinda reminds me of a Hudson in some of the rear shots. Thats almost criminal, too bad whoever did it can't be prosecuted.

Frank

[Zor]

that gives me a stomach ache

[cadlights]

I've seen some Hudsons they tried to make look like Mercs, but why would you try to make a Merc look like a Hudson. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Skate Fink]

.............CHRIST! You guys are so hung up on "tradition" that you all lack "vision!" I'm seriously thinking about bidding on that sucker, slapping some sort of motovation in it and running the fuckin' wheels off of it. I will be a God! I will be the new visionary. I will be the trendsetter that started the newest craze. Discovery Channel will beat my door down and I will become rich beyond my wildest dreams!
I will be "SKATEFINK".......founder of the RAT KUSTOM (TM)movement! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[DrDano]

Yet another E-bortion. Poor old Merc! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

"This Mercury has been chopped 4 inches and sectioned 4 inches"

And bastardized beyond recognition. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

"(not channeled)"

Thank the gods because who knows how bad these 'pros' would have screwed that up. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

"this is over $10,000 worth of work done."

Trust them on this. I'm their yard man and I do a full mow, edge, and weedeat for them at only $6,200 a week. But that's front AND back. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

"The car is from Arizona and has no cancer, minor surface rust only. No dents."

Because we cut the bottom off and filled the dents with 63.5 lbs of bondo. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

"Many parts of the chopping have only been roughed out"

And I mean ROUGH! ba-dump-bump!

Thank you, I'll be here all week. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

id have to kick my OWN ass.

im not a merc expert, but maybe if you did something up slammed lowrider hydrolic stlye to get it sitting lower to the ground it wouldnt look as bad as we see it...

but i dont see that happeneing......

[41ChevyTrucker]

yeah but I learned alot from the marker lines on the bondo. They are like an artist's brush strokes. You can really see how they were thinking it through and "sculpting" it in their head... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Byron Crump]

I was thinking the same thing dragger...they turned a merc into a Hudson.

I don't dislike Hudsons persay, but I can't believe how many times people have thought my merc was one....argghhh.

[choprods]

This is what happens when a Packard Clipper has an anal sex love child with a Hudson hornet.
I need a time out to reflect........... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Yep-still looks bad! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[k9racer]

Good thing he did not list in Hemmings Motor News. They have a rule that you cannot use the term CANCER for rust. I think this came from the late managner who died of cancer. He said cars get rust people and animals get cancer. It is a slow painful death.SORRY for the rant Thank You... Bobby..

[shoebox72]

It dosen't even look like a true section job. It looks like they cut the lower 4 inches off the car. Anyway it still looks like a clown shoe.

Billy

[53_210]

I don't think I've ever seen a car that looked good sectioned. This sure isn't changing my mind. The chop looks kinda lame as well.

[hotrod54chevy]

wow,looks like someone saw monster garage and said "hey,i can section this thing!"..ruined a nice car..couldnt they have just tried to shave the door handles?by the looks of the job they did sectioning that thing,i think it woulda taken em longer to do a shave!yeah,i know how you feel..my car's been mistaken for a Hudson,too!
creepy

[adjustablejohnsons]

Bit of an overbite.

[Slag Kustom]

i have not seen some thing so fuked up in a long time. I feel like a styling god next to that guy

[rdstr31]

Sad... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif That thing looks like a turd wearing a tan hat.

[krooser]

Looks like a HUDSON!!!

[Blownolds]

After seeing you are a HAMB'r, I will edit my post and simply say that practice makes perfect, and that gas hammer welding and shaping the sections before welding in would help you a lot on the next project.

so your 19 years old and living in new jersey and you claim its your work, and the car is located now in california

if it by all odds is you whom have had an hand in this buildup, you should be able to take criticism,
maybe you don't appriate honesty from people?
if people think somehing sucks and is ugly isn't it better that it get's through then people suck ass and say something is coool when its not?

[CHOPMERC]

uh, um...guys....i'm pretty sure merc-o-madness has entered his post in jest...he didn't really build that ugly ass merc...JEEZ!!!

[Slag Kustom]

i think most from jersey have a little better taste then that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[shifts]

I have sectioned a 51 &amp; a 50 Merc, and what I see is that the guy cut it in the wrong place. I have always made the cut above the rear quarters. In my opinion a mid century Merc looks good sectioned if done correctly. Another thing, why do ppl think you need to cut up a perfectly good Merc frame to put a fucking camaro stub under it? DAVE

[merc-o-madness]

EASY DUDES I WOULNDT KILL A BEAUTIFUL CAR LIKE THAT!!it was a joke maybe i shoulda wrote that

It probably fell apart when they cut out what was left of the rotted out floor. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If that were the case it would be on a mid 70's midsize GM frame and floor.

I think it would save if it was lowered, (the weight of an engine might do that in front anyway) and some lakes pipes and all the wheel openings radiused late '50s early sixties sporty-car custom style.
Maybe with a '56 Olds grill bar for a bumper like the Jack Stewart car.
It ain't dead till it's crushed, so weld 2"- 4" back in! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Looks like a Hudson now.
