1950 Mercury starting my progect!

I wonder why people feel the need to comment on a thread that's a year old without reading or at least browsing the thread to see what's been done.


Anyway, great build, I was really looking forward to that LS but the 348 will look cool.

 

Are you going to chop it?




Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

Yes, the first time was photoshopped...

 

You mean photoCHopped ..

 

Engine color is spot on Steve! Nice chop too!!LOL

 

BBq,body work and Super Bowl..... that,s how I roll in my man cave!

 

Damn! That's one helluva set up out there Stevie! Great talkin with ya at the GNRS

 

Good to talk to you to. Your Merc came out beautiful. Inspired me to get on mine again.

 

Did some inner and center rocker panle repair today, also replaced lower A pillar. Cant believe the clown who installed the new rockers on this car with nothing behind it!!

 

That metal you used on your inner rocker looks like galvanized steel...is it?

 

No just regular steel. I sanded and will be coating it before i install the new outers.

 

Motor is complete. Got the carbs back today!

 

love it,

 

I love finding butcherd out stuff when I start cutting off parts. The previous owner put some new rocker panels on in the wrong spot so I cut them back off to find that there was nothing behind them. All the inner structure was rotted off.I have spent the last four weekends making new panels and floorboard sections. What a butcher whoever this clown was who did this work!! Really.... welding floorboards over the top of the old ones and filling in the gaps with Henry's roofing tar??!! WTH??

 

Just venting. Not surprised, I have seen worse. Just crazy what some people consider "fixed". I'll try to post pictures tomorrow.

 

how'd you know it was Henry's brand tar? That's some funny shit right there Keep up the good fight!

 

It's a good guess, but after sleeping on it, it was probably some cheap off brand considering the quality of the work the clown did!

 

Yeah, didn't think that hack would pay up for "name-brand" Henry's

 

Wow the engine looks great! That will deck out your engine compartment nicely.

 

Steve,

I live in Santa Maria and I just read your entire thread. Very impressed with the work you did. I just bought a 51 Merc and I was hoping I can stop by and check out your build and pick your brain a bit.

Let Me Know?

Mike
