49 merc update

Wish I could have gone with ya guys, did ya bring back any cookies?

 

No cookies,but I did bring back your old hood

 

I guess I need to come over and pick it up, unless you want to use it.

 

Thought we might punch some holes in it, and try to find a spot on travis' wall to hang it

 

Kool idea, do ya think Travis has the room. Lol!

 

Bahahahahaha!!!!!! Good one!!!!


Looking good Dustin!

 

yes i have room need a new toliet seat and i need 280 headlight buckets for the toliet paper roll lol

 

280 Z? i don't know where you can find them. I have some 240 Zs but they are in bad
shape and would be painful to use. Gonna be around today.

Back to topic, Dustin is your Merc running yet?

 

yes im going right now to pick up aframes for truck do you see the other post on here finally been posting some

 

OH!!! Dustin, the car looks fanfreakintastic. Those up close shots with glass, really shows the good look on that chop.

 

looking good, do you have more pics, I'll follow this thread.

 

I went ahead and punched some louvers in the decklid.It was pretty beat-up,so I said screw it

 

Here's a couple of pics.Middle pic,with no caps is after 2'' dropped uprights install.Also has aerostar coils.And my helpers!

 

I love it! Now let's get it on the road..... Kan't wait to follow the Merc around.

 

whoooo,, whooooo... looking real good.

 

Thanks, and Mick, I hear ya!

Good job!!!! Now dont come out of the garage till its running... Looks great

 

Thats the plan,just tryin to get the stuff done that doesn't cost anything

 

Looks great. I've got a pit crew, 4 and 6, they will be riding with me in 2012 once I put in seat belts.

 

Thanks John,mine are 3 and 4,and I can't wait to be able to take them.

 

Ya gotta come out of the shop. Ill need help in about two weeks with something. Come here and play for a change.lol Beers cold. Jack is colder.lol Call me.

 

I'll holla!! Better make it crown though

 

what was your ground clearance with just the aerostar springs? I got aerostar springs for my 51 and was thinking of doing the 1" spacers under the coil plate on the lower control arm to get it real low, also have the weight of a caddy 472 to help drop it down too

 

Tried that with mine(springs and spacers)I had to go back stock on the plates.I only had about 2'' of clearance between the lower control arm,and crossmember(if you can get the springs to stay in,while you let it down).I drilled out all those rivets for nothingended up putting the aerostar springs with 2'' dropped uprights.

 

replacing those rivets with bolts makes changing springs a snap though!

 

what do uprights go for?

 

Crown it it is brother

 

very nice shop.hope mine comes out as good as this merc.mine has to be reshop.hopefully next week I should be picking up my doner and following your footsteps.good luck

Mine up used.I believe they are around 500 bucks,but really not shure.

Thanks, I appreciate it.be shure to post some progress pics!
