Thanks for the kudo's I am lucky to get some real cool projects, next is the restore of the Ala Kart, Gotta love it

 

For me, it'd be a toss up between Sam's merc and the Hirohata merc. I'm not sure which one is my favorite. I lean more towards Sam's. Darryl, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this project. Beautiful.

 

Are you kidding us, the Ala Kart next!!!!!! WOW

 

like sex but no broad to speak and fuck it up.

 

It's for real Mercman,it's for real.

You gonna debut the Merc in Paso,right ?

 

Darryl, will you adopt me?? I'll live in the workshop and run errands for you.

Man what a lucky SOB!
The truly gifted Barris's Merc and the Ala Kart?? Man that would be heaven! I guess when a man has talent he gets all the good jobs.
Me jealous?? HELL YEAH!
Doc.

Amazing....Damm and the Ala Cart...Thats badass..

 

Darryl, thank you for taking the time to post the pics! Nice job on the paint too!

Beautiful Darryl, nice work. Can't wait to see it in person.

 

Thank You, its been a long time coming,

Its was supposed to debut in Austin, didn't make it, we are shootin for Paso

The plan is to have the Ala Kart done to debut at GNRS in 08, with the Merc.

I've seen a lot of your work... and all I can say is "WOW"... and I know you'll do it justice.

Sam.

 

i just read in the rodders journal that it might make the roundup, thought that I missed it. I never would have forgave myself if I missed it. I really hope to more soon.

 

I thought the Ala-Kart was already under restoration at some shop maybe 5 years ago? Didn't it burn in a fire? What's the real story. Would love to hear more about that, one of the best hotrods ever built.

Merc looks nice too. Any pics of that back in the day? Not sure that I've ever seen it before.

 

wow amazing...umm kind of blurry...you should post more! =P

Great To See The Car Coming Back, I Lived Next To Tommys Garage For 8 Years, Seeing The Car Setting Outside For Years In Sad Shape, Then Setting In My Friends Garage For Another Few Years Torn Apart. Great Work, Great Kustom!!

 

Can't wait!!

Any info on the Ala Kart? I remember seeing some pics of the original some time ago. I thought at that time, someone was starting the restoration.

 

Isn't that also the FIRST chopped '49-51 Mercury ever?

Jack Calori's 3W in the avatar.. Ala Kart coming up next. Man you got all the toys.. I'm jealous.

 

Your hurting me......I'm a Merc addict and the tease is hurting me. Thanks for
posting the pics. Good luck with the final part of the build and I cannot wait
to se it finished.

Happy Trails,

Mick
