ok guys here are a few more pics of the merc, i remembered to take some pics. im going to try to get the engine fit with some new hoses and stuff by next week and pomona is next sunday i guess so i might have to go and get some new tires. one of my customers says he has an early eddie meyer dual carb intake and a couple of strombergs so we might have to do some horse trading!!! and here is a couple of pics of one of the trucks im building too for those who were wanting to see.

I owned a 51' Merc. for 1 week.. it was rustier than i had remebered ...should have kept it.. see you at Pomona and Irwindale

 

Riverside? How much property do you have? Sheesh!

And that car looks incredible. Ready for paint off the trailer!

 

Congrats Matt ! Can't wait to see how that one will turn out.And classicint,that's one very cool looking '59 Impala...wow !

 

Hey,I saw you driving by my job yesterday. I'm working on the Hospital at Chapman and City Drive. We were crossing the street. I yelled,but you didn't here me.

 

That car's looking really good! Think you need to keep it!!!!!

 

i wish it was ready for paint!! the rockers are dented pretty good, but better than fixing rust !! floor has some pretty thin metal in a couple of spots from moisture from the carpet for a very long time but other than that im happy with it so far! floor boards are easy compared to body panels

 

Mooneyes Matt...no excuses!!!

 

Awesome looking Merc man! Congrats are definetly in order on that find!

 

WOW the body is in great shape looks even better in the day light = )

 

Cool . Whats the plan ? Going to keep the flathead in it ? I have a spare set of thermostat housings and a factory aircleaner assembly you can have , if you need them . I have other spare flathead parts sitting around , I think I have a new set of kingpins and bushings you can have , let me know and I'll take a look.
