    I bought a Winfield glass 51 body back in 2002. The car may be on the road this year. Can I get in the club?

    Whew! I was starting to get a little nervous. What's billet? ;) I'll work on getting some pix posted. Sorry that I missed you in Sacramento. I got some pictures of your Merc. Bitchin car Bob.
     
  14. Did you see me? I hear guys saying they saw me or my car,but didn't say anything to me! Don't get it! I was hoping to meet a bunch of HAMBers while I was there. Met a few,but it was really un-organized anyways...

    Bob, I did not see you around your car but I will admit that I need to do a better job hunting people down. My bad. Me and the wife were with Winfield for a while and we met Axle and Luke Karosi (Kustoms Illustrated). How come you weren't looking for me!!?
     
  17. Matt has a guy who has a whole Desoto grill. Ask him when you see him.
    WWW"S! For sure!!!! It's a Custom,not a Hotrod...and some caps!!! '57 Caddy maybe...
     
  18. I was in the Merc building all weekend! Outside at noon,for the HAMB meet and greet(that nobody came to,but DrDave and his dad). I don't know what you look like anyways!!!

    My 1960 Commuter Amblewagon. It’s been like this since I got laid off last summer. I’ll be back on it soon enough.

  20. Thanks Bob! But I ain't "movin' on" to anything... I've had my Merc for about 6 years. Longer than a couple of my VWs. I figure if someone loves old cars enough... they don't bother themselves with what country they came from. ;)
     
  21. Yeah! I wouldn't turn down a nice Notchback or Conv. Ghia...Wasn't meant as a slam,BTW! If I would have found my Merc before I got my first 67 VW,I probably wouldn't have owned 25 of them,LOL...
     
  22. Quesnel Merc...

  24. I'm gonna do something new. I'm going to do a post with just grills,one with taillights,one with caps,interiors,etc. I will add to them as I see new ideas.
    Tell me what you guys think...
     
  25. Hey Bob, just wondering how come you posted pic's of Jerry's merc????
