Projects My "1927 Mercury" phantom - not a hotrod...

Call it whatever you want, you built it! I like it. If it were me though, I would drop the headlight bar if thats legal over there.

 

Superb!!!

 

Great car and I love how well you documented everything.

 

Nice to see a comprehensive thread on this superb car! Great work.

I think if Ford had actually built these in '27, they wouldn't have lost so much market share to GM - give all those Flivver buyers someplace to go when they want to upgrade!

 

Looks like a damn hot rod to me!! I too would drop the headlight bar, other than that it's bloody perfect!
So much so it's giving me food for thought..... damn you.... LOL!

 

Thought about it - but was aiming here...

 

The Lancia is cool but, I would rather have your 'baby'! You need a much shorter garage, for a start, ha ha.

 

While this car has a lot of ideas I'm going to steal, your radiator just solved a huge problem on my 20 T and... it's what will force me to run a 26/27 shell on my touring.

So awesome. I wish we were closer, I'd be over your shop crawling all over that thing.

 

Steal away - if there's any pics you need, just ask!

 

"two-thumbs-up"................

 

Muy bueno!

 

What he said. Ford styling jus has It.

I've got a renewed interest in running an A crossmember in my T frame thanks to that.

 

Great!!!

 

I love it man. Well done!

 

Love the look with the extened hood . Very very nice. By the way saw a Royal Oilfield in the background , a English built one? Had several over the years.

 

Killer!!

 

monkeybiker is a woman?

 

Oops. Widower.
I'm just an ugly bloke, not a really ugly woman...

 

It is amazing what effect the lengthening of the hood/bonnet/engine cover thingy, makes to the overall balance and proportions of this beautiful little critter.
Congratulations on a really good outcome.

 

Or here?

This build immediately said OM to me.

 

Holy cow!!!!! I just saw this!!! I didn't know that you had this tub! I just thought that you had your '23!! This is amazing!! You sure do great work! Like Brent said, you've actually solved a couple of problems for me a s well. This is just too damn cool!!!! Love it!!

 

Why cheers!
Dog with two tails at the moment...
Just been down to Salisbury area hillclimbing the T Modified last weekend. Brill!

how did I miss such fun? Should I ever hop across the pond and decide to vacation it in the land of cheese and wine, will need to talk to your travel agent!!

 

As I'd run the bottom end on my hillclimb car I took the 'Mercury' out for a trundle up Prescott hill last weekend...

I love the bodywork on this one, the rear fenders are perfect. Proportions are so much better!
Sometimes a non-hotrod can be a revelation.

 

That is a killer tubby ! The hill climb pic is great.

 

Cool ride..... out of the box!

 

very cool!
