Thanks Jeff.
I wanted to tell you I may have found some wood for my Woody. I have to confirm it tomorrow. I was told he has one door bottom and both door tops.

 

I have built a dozen or more shoebox Fords/Mercs and still have one. Built hundreds of parts for the Woodie guys.

Sorry, Just had to.

 

I spent the evening pulling out all my old Woodie Times issues and sorting them. The new garage is finally at the poing where I can pull them out of storage and put them in holders and on my shelves for reference material along with all my woodie related books.

 

Mr Lockwood, I checked out your site, you ever do a woodie related metal grinding like the gasser.. curious

 

Never have but would be willing to...........lol

 

I have a woody right now ....Does that count?

 

This month's Goodguys rag has a nice article on Wood N Carr with some really cool in-process woodie build pics.

 

Absolutely stunning! What wood did you use. I want a nice light color like that for my Merc

 

Here are a couple more we did or worked on.
Tom

 

WOW! your stuff if sweet. I really like the blueish Woodie and the whole surf shack theme

 

Thank you, the yellow one in the first pic is a 49, the green one is a 51 with a wood gate conversion, the other green one is a 48. The blue-metal one is now done and in black but the pics I have will not up load. The yellow one with the board is a 51 with a wood gate conversion and a 3" top chop. The Tahiatian blue one is at the SEMA convention and has one of our custom visors on it. Tom

 

You have any other pics of the visor?

 

This is the woodie I worked on that was invited to be in the at PPG booth at the SEMA show in 2008. The pics are of the visor I make for the shoebox woodie wagons. I also did the tail pans, tail lamps, blind nuts and a host of other stainless items throughout the car. Jimmy C did the striping and the sculptors for the hood ornament and door lock knobs. Tom

 

Here are a few more pics of woodies I have done. the one in front of the billboard need the botom 12 inches of the total car replaced. Tom

 

T Fritz you have some serious skills. Have you done any Mercs of these years? If so I would love to see them as well.

 

my 50 tin woodie

 

Lockwoodcustoms, I have not had the pleasure of working on a 49-51 Mercury woodie in my shop yet. I have constructed many parts for the guys working in their own shops. Tom

 

I pulled all the tape off mine.

Sawzall, Thanks for the pictures, It was great to meet you, your daughter, and Tokyo. The Woody is lookin' good.

Von Dago, It was nice to meet you and your boys. Thanks for dropping by on Sunday! And thanks for the motivational words. Next visit we are getting the four banging! I'll try to drop by on my way down.

By the way, beautiful Country Squire.

Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!

 

So Are you making your own wood for this?
