He told me at the KKOA show this year he used the sides and back from a 55 wagon and roof skin from a 57-58 wagon, super nice car and owner
Since I got part of that right, here are some pic`s I took more than 10 years ago. I included his Merc on my list of top ten Merc`s on a thread Micky(straykatkustoms )started on here.
Great example of a car that runs side mirrors on both sides but still looks very clean. Also not-frenched headlights and still pulls off the smooth look.
It was kool to read the article in Rodder's Journal about all of the kustom work done to the Merc. Rear quarters are my favorite mod.
The grille shell is certainly tweaked, and that signature grille is flawless! Do you know what side trim was used? Absolutely perfect, for such an understated build.
And that heavily peaked hood retains its corners. This is certainly not a paint within the lines custom!
