    Thought you might be interested in the dash mod I've done. Used the dash from a 51 Pontiac, cut 10" out of the center and it fit right in....not quite.....Had to postpone work for a while, other projects for "She who can not be ignored"

    Looks like your ready to hit the heavy off road trails in it now. Never seen anyone that excited about raising there car. Hopefully you you can either paint or get a new white wall for the rear. Thats a lot of black showing ,just my opinion im very picking.
     
  6. The side trim treatment by 51Gringo (Max) was killer, never seen that done before.
     
  7. Anyone have an image of the wiring diagram for a 49-51 Merc column (blinker stuff)?
     
  8. I just ordered my new tires,and plan on putting my www's on the rear too,hahaha! BTW-they ARE painted!!!

    I put some 7.10 Firestones on the front of the Jerkury. I like them but now I need to lower the front of the car about an inch to get the stance back where it was.

    I built this car several years ago - sold it unfinished with most of the body and chassis work done - was grey prime with chrome wheels and whitewalls. New owner painted it, put in interior, changed wheels, and put in Caddy taillights. Not the way I would have finished it, but it was feature car of James Dean Reunion in 2004 - so it must have worked......

  19. I don't know.....I like the rake it has now. I just put new Coker Classics on the front,G78-15's with 3 1/4" WWW. Same size tire,but bigger whites.
     
  20. That's a nice Mercury, always like seeing pics of it. How chopped is that, 4.5 or 5 or ???

    BB, for some reason, the car looks lower in the front in those photos than it really is. I like it as it appears in the photos also. These 7.10's have a 3 1/4" whitewall also.

    PSJ, the chop is 6" in the front and 8" in the rear according to "Glassguy" who built and owned it.

    At least your mercury looks proper with those tires. The right size and style!

  27. That turned out great! I love that green (mine is a similar green so I may be biased LOL) and that nicely detailed engine compartment.

    I have saved a ton of pics from this one and the 2dr you were working on for reference on how to fix stuff on my 51. I'm dying for an update on the 2dr. Any progress to share?
     
  28. Hey Doc, I've got a ton of pics from the Mordoor build that I have to sort through and post. When I get a chance, I'll put 'em up. As for the Coupe, customer work has been chewing up most of our time. I have some pics of how the Coupe will sit when finished and the fabrication of the exhaust system, but other than that there has been no progress. The car is currently in long term storage.
     
  29. Nice merc oldtimerodder72 looks good and I like your choice in engines.
