1950 mercury ...I finally got my dream car

Way to go guy!!!!!
I am sure I will get to see this when it is done.

 

Congrats! Very cool!!

 

Great looking car, congrats!

 

I'm very jealous, I love those things!

 

Thanks, my plans are finishing the body work, sand blasting the frame and painting it, then get the drive train in. Then I'll probably paint it flat black with some flames, lower it, and do some roll and tuck interior. I'll have a 53 desoto grill in it. I will use the stock tail lights. Thats some of my plans right now. I can't wait to get it done!!!

 

That's going to be a great car. have fun with it man!

 

very nice.makes me want to go get another one.Now get out to the garage and get to it.

 

Thanks Bob!!! I'll do that.

 

What a great looking start...hope to see it at the Wednesday night cruise night at Flashbacks next spring..I'll be looking for you and the Merc.

 

Great start and good find

Hey Mike,
Glad you guys made it back ok. It was nice talking to you and your dad. I'm so happy the Merc will get the attention it deserves!

Fantastic! Enjoy! I too just bought another Merc a few weeks back and in West Virginia (after a tire blowout) my trailer lights stopped working. I had zero tools (of course) and I was about to light fire to my F250 and just cry. Sometimes odd things happen out there. Congrats on the purchase my man.

 

Sweet!!!

 

very nice. I bought mine a couple of years ago in a very similar way. It has always been a dream car for me as well. good luck and don't forget to join the merc club on the hamb

 

updates updates!!! You've kept us in the dark since 2011!

 

Very cool.
I have a friend who's building a '49 Merc that's chopped and has '51 rear quarters on it...

 

Great find! I wish mine was that far along!

 

Took advantage of the nice weather and got the merc out and took some pictures, and cleaned the inside.

 

A few more pictures of the inside.

 

Looks good Mike, I'll have to stop by and see it in person.

Dan

 

Thanks Dan, we have to get together some time so you can finally see her in person!!!

 

Great score! Love the chop! Congrats!!!!
