X something... I can't count that high...

 

keep up the good work.. its going to be killer

 

Thanks for all the interest guys. Almost read to prime and block

 

Split the banana shaped rocker and added some metal in order to get everything on the same plane prior to molding the fender to the rocker and rounding the door corners.

 

Corners turned out nice.

 

Started to strip the hood of its Mercury and Ford paint. I should have it finished this week and back on for finishing.

 

Amazing job! Going to be one of the historys most well built shoeboxes!

 

Got more pics of the rounded door corners?
I've been thinking whats the best looking radius for them..

 

The hood is back on and almost done

 

Looks great! Looks like a hole different car with the hood! / David

Thanks. The hood wound up pancaked an inch or two so the car feels a little wider.

 

Did you have any weather problems yesterday? Hope things are OK

 

Thanks man. The first tornado touched down a half mile from here but everything is ok.

 

Are you planing on "real" paint for the body now or will it be primer again?

I think it's going to end up in hot rod flatz for now. Similar to this.

 

Ok cool, sure going to look great!

Thanks man. I can't wait to get it back together.

 

How about a shakedown trip to the muffler shop for some duals?

 

I'm not sold on this flathead so I'm holding off.

 

The Hirohata Merc got its Caddy motor transplant just days prior to its famous cross country road trip,
so I guess it's never too late!

 

I'd love to do something similar

 

Skim time

 

Maybe the similarly finished scoop on this beautiful Merc will help keep you inspired!

 

Thanks man. One of my favs.

 

Looks like you getting there!
