Customs Before and After shots of Big Eddie's 51 Mercury

Ian,

Hell. yes.

 

It's looking really good! I want to see the roof work. That's gonna take some REAL magic, Ian! Eddie must be going crazy without his Merc.

 

nice work!

 

Thanx Shooter!!

Thanx BB!! No roof work in the near future.......but eddie's Mercury will get finished in the YEEEEAAAAAAARRRRR TWWWWWWWOOOOTHOUNSAAAAAND!!

Thank you!!

 

Knocking em out Ian nice work on the merc!!

 

looks great! come on big E! have ian do the roof!

 

Boy! This Ian fella is talented. Ain't he?
The roof? Like the trunk says: "NEVER FINISHED!" Hahahaha.....

P.s. Who's the super model stealing yer hubcaps?

 

you just dont want to have to paint it! hahaha! have him do it! it still wont be done.

 

Getting somewhere...... Finally!! I never expected to have the Mercury for that long!!

Gotta finish the tricky rear garnish and windows...... Then done!



















Then i left some skin on the rear garnish.... Ouch!!! My wife said i could have used a couple stitches but it's too late now....oH WELL!!

 

Horrible pic quality!!!! I dropped my camera hard recently.....I think it's done!!

 

Wowwww! A merc is for sure my next car

 

Techically Ian...2999 is still the year 2000! haha!!! Could you narrow it down a little bit closer?

 

you know...people are gonna start thinking you know what youre doing..hahahah

 

in order to kill the bacteria from the cut, you must rinse with lacquer thinner. works for me
Now back to wok

 

wow. killer work .

 

HAHA!!! Im getting better but still got a ton to learn man!!

OUCH!!!

Thanx man!!! Congrats on the nomination man!!

 

if you stop learning, you arent breathing....thats my take on it anyways..haha

 

way better than before! keep it up homie!

 

lots of talent!!! looks very nice! no need for a lotta lead!

 

super glue is your best friend ian..... glues an ear lobe back on better than any stitch!!

 

Damn Ian, really good work there. That's something to be proud of.

 

Ian your work is fucking amazing, I said it before and I will say it again..you have the eye my friend. And the hands to make it happen, many have one or the other but you have both.. A rare quality! And when you open up that shop, yeah I said it! they will be knockin down that door.
Keep it up, you are an inspiration to all bro.

Thanx Omar

Just a little bit to clean up imperfection, but could as well be a skim coat.

I need to keep some in the garage, my hands are so full of cuts , it hurts to make a fist!!

I'm a lucky though, my wife is a surgeon and she's actually stitched me up in the past.... pretty convenient!!

Does she keep a repair kit at home? hahaha!!!

 

Thanx Kustom55!!! Im pretty stoked that Big eddie is stoked and loving his car all over again!!

Thanx so much man!!!

I hope to get a little shop one day, but for now my home garage is workin' out ok..... My neighbors are real cool!!! No overhead too!!! I'm not a very good business man , so i would need to work on that before so i can at least pay the rent!!!

Hope to see you at GNRS!!

Yes she does!!!

She's hooked up quite a few friends with no insurance.
