Nothing short of amazing right there man! I truly admire your commitment and the amount of patience it must have taken to get your merc as far as you have now..awesome...congrats and please continue to keep us posted.

 

Thanks for the post..The car look's GREAT..
Not just the VERY nice fab work you did either, the overall look of the car is perfect. Nice proportion's..

 

Taxi!!! Just a joke. Love the car!

Killer bodywork, killer documentation, killer car! Thanks for sharing. This thread makes me want one.

great work man you will be cruzin before you know it. if you make it to east Tn with that thing look us up

 

Lots of fabrication ! looks really good.

 

50merc, Im in the same boat. Im more willing to look at a fuel door than smell petro in the trunk or mess up the interior. i do like the fact that there isnt anything on the quarter but i plan to drive the hell out of it.

slampup, you are welcome anytime. i didnt know if you were able to get around to much after the accident. i seen you at one of the Summit deals but there was such a crowd i thought id catch you later. i was in the 64 galaxie with the EFI 5.0L in it. glad to hear your doing good!!!!!!! stop by someday!!

 

Damn dude, im really fuckin impressed !!!

Thats some nice work.

I'm pissed i didnt come over last time i was in G.A, next time im near ATL i'd love to come over and check it out.

insane.

excellent work, ether...lookin forward to more updates....

 

Yeah or we could re-inact beauty and the beast hahahaha

Your Galaxie is clean man

Holy shit that's a lot of work! Good job - never let it be said that you can't bring 'em back! And thank you so much for the extensive coverage - it's all the little things in any build that never get mentioned or shown in the mags that other people building stuff can really appreciate.

 

all I can say is "WOW" helluva nice job...that's a shitload of work to tackle by yourself. thanks for the pics and info on the build.

 

oh man its so nice.

 

Camaro front end ! You should be slapped even your sister should be slapped ! and whoever gave that to you should be kicked in the jimmy.

I also HATE that dash, what were you thinking ? Should have given that awful thing away.



Seriously though Ether, you should slap a motor in it and we'll take it to billet proof in Florida with no paint on it - I'll bring the WD40.
Of course you might get banned for that late model gas cap being non-traditional.

Folks if you ever get a chance to meet ether, he'll talk your ear off for hours and espouse all kinds of knowledge onto you, so stay clear.

 

This car is sweet...

 

Thanks for sharing the pics and the info!!!


Great job!!!!!!!

 

killer job, reminds me of glassguys merc

 

im not up and walkin good yet but when i am i will defantly take you up on the stop by offer...thanks man

 

WOW...Well what else is there to say..

Thanks for the pics on that stuff, sure helps to see it all there.

WOW!!!! That is insane amount of work you did and you must have wanted a merc real bad. really nice work and can't wait to see more of the build up. It just goes to show that you can save anything with hard work and lot of time and see your vision through.

 

Great thread

I am in the process, put a 49 top on 12 years ago, have stored it since
Will start to do some work in the near future

Here are a few new ones. Playin in the trunk!!!! I rid of the spare wheel well and stitched in a new piece as well as the hole for the gas filler tube. Im thinking of running a mustang tank and a space saver spare tire so the well had to go. I also added a pic of the front vent window, just moched up and final weld and polish of the stainless is to come, and the rear tip out window with the Hudson window frame I had mentioned about. More to come! ETHER

 

You are a bad mofo, sir.

 

Ether,cool work..we need more of these guys!!actually just started here my Mexican 50 merc thread today ,and i'm in the almost same boat too...
so,thanx for your inspiration ..keep up the great job ...sled

 

Flatattack used a Falcon tank with the spare recess in it in the floor of his 53 Victoria. Made a swingaway taillight to run the filler tube through. Neat job. He's got pix somewhere.

 

awsome man!
