UPDATE: chopped 1940 Merc in bare metal: must see

Know ones ragging on anyone Frances

 

Sam, Perhaps it is the "hardtop" look. I dig it though.

 

looks great. it is nice to see where the stitch lines are.


One question though.... do his neighbors hate him?

He has a really cool shop that is pretty big and he waits untill everyone is gone to get into the grinding and what not. Hotrods stay inside, customs stay outside. The neighbors love him. the kid next door is in a real crappy punk band and they jam all night! that's a real 32 roadster pickup in there.

 

looks great.
did he use parts of the donor Merc in the chop?

 

Did the merc go someone local ? They got a nice piece !
