Car's looking great!

 

ROCK ON!!!

 

Niiiice.....

 

Here's another little bit of what I've been working on.

I've had this steering wheel for years and I had planned to restore it for my 40 Merc project.


Then a crusty mercury accessory wheel popped up on eBay and didn't sell... I email the guy, he called me and we started talking. Here he has a shoebox ford (and is a member here on the hamb) and wanted a crestliner wheel. Long story short, I gave him a little money and my wheel in exchange for a wheel I've been hunting for years!




@minamyer

 

Nice.

 

Have you forsaken us here for more "instant" feedback, minamyer? Don't forget your old HAMB buddies while giving others rides. I know there are some here who don't participate on more "social" media who would love to see (and hear) your Merc cruising (even if it isn't "finished").

I will shortly be organizing the torches and pitchforks...

(when I get back from Bonneville).

Yeah! What Unkl Vic said!!!

Yeah! Don't be like that Boobarino doof on Instagram!

 

Sorry guys I have dropped the ball on this build thread.
I have no idea how to post videos or I would. I took the car for its maiden voyage last week... It was awesome!!
The car is far from done but It sure has been nice to put a few miles on it.



@minamyer

 

That chop is perfection!

 

Yes, it is.

Someone talented with photoshop or whatever (certainly not me) colorize that gorgeous 3/4 rear view in deep Forest Green, or Honduras Maroon.

I bet JJ could help you add a vid.

I was really happy to see the car out doing car things. I bet you were giggling like a little girl....

Unkl Vic

 

Yes I was! Giggling and raising hell on union street! Even caught a picture of the illusive jeffreyjames break dancing in the middle of the road while taking pictures and videos!



@minamyer

 

I couldn't agree more. Mr. Sam Barris or Mr. Dick Dean would be proud! Nice profile.

Great work..........E

 

You could post a video on YouTube and give us a link??

That Merc is sweet as apple pie ;-)

 

Jeremy, Let me know when you are giving rides. I will come back for that.

 

Just don't sit on the floor in the back...that shit gets hot quick! Toasted buns...
