Next I re-contoured the C pillars after getting the right shape I reweld the C pillars and add some reinforcement Then I lay the back window down to check the shape
Yeah the green merc will be a more mild chop similar to the Kirkegaard Merc. yep I got the message about the hood, Glad you're happy with it!
Damn! They're both looking great man. Can't wait to come by sometime and see your new shop and meet you.. Hopefully soon! I'll drive the '46.
DAMn that is some kick ass work dude....wish you were Down Under, I have this car that needs a haircut.....haha ! Awesome stuff, keep em coming !
Normally I sit on the couch and drink all day, but this thread makes me want to get off my fat ass and do something with my life. Great job Kev and Jason!
Keep chopping all these Mercs you're going to pigeon hole yourself... but what a helluva pigeon hole.
I must confess, your tops are breathtaking! My favorite cars of all time, so happy to see more of these getting restyled! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

I still need to chop the back window down but I started one of sail panels. it will need a lot more shape but getting close.
Glad to hear there's some progress brotha! Don't get overwhelmed, just brace it up and start chopping when you get it back form the blaster! Give me a call if you have any questions!
Nathan Jaggard came over on holiday for the California Hot Rod Reunion and to check the progress on his merc. He's a great guy and was very pleased with the results so far! This was the first time he's ever seen his merc or any 40 merc in person! He bought the car sight unseen almost a year ago from a guy in Michigan and I've been storing it for him until I could work on it. Nathan has a killer 40's style model A coupe and really "gets it" when it comes to the early style cars! Im blessed to able to build cars for such cool cats!
hahaha don't I look a plonker! Great to meet up with you finally Kevan, it was a real pleasure. I was totally blown away with your shop and the cars that you have. To say I'm pleased with the way the car is progressing is a complete understatement, it really is a dream come true. I think this will be a real gem when you've worked your magic on it, especially with some of the ideas we were talking about. keep up the good work Kev
Thank you bobo1, yes I will chop a 46 long door! I haven't done one yet but have studied them very closely and Im ready for the job!
