Hot Rods Photos of before restoration and after

Kinda reminds me of the Thunderbolt and Lifhtfoot merc.

 

That's the same car?
I stand corrected. Not custom.
Apparently, I like a stock Mercury quite a lot.

 

For the longest time I thought Mercs came outta the factory chopped. They look so good stock-bodied.

 

Mirrors?

 

Stock except for mechanicals

John, Your cars are always first rate beautiful. Love the Merc!!!

 

From day one, to, damn near close..... A lot of custom stuff, but NOT a custom. More of a wolf in sheep attire......

Any one that stuffs a dual quad nailhead in their car is A-OK with me! Nice Merc, even if it looks stock, I think its neat.

 

I twisted and turned and even squinted...can't see where it's customized anywhere..!

 

That Merc is a serous sleeper.
This is an interesting an fun thread to see and I wish I had a viable contribution.
