wow. that Merc is something else. looks like the top is all hand made. ??? what's the story?

 

WOW O WOW is that '51 gorgeous that Rik posted. Such great proportions, the chop is so right on it.

 

There was a whole thread on here about it. I think his buddy put it up.

 

very nice, in a world of chopped mercs that one really stands out. love the tail lights too

 

One of the classic sleds on here indeed. Does it say LUCILLE on the rear overrider? Pretty cool.

 

It was built by HAMB member "Kustomkid", it started out as a 4 door and his first merc chop as a senior in highschool. Its got to be his old build with the vintage montana plate. His whole family is into rods and customs.


Here are some pics that I have

















Here is his latest merc

 

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you who's cars these are, but they are some of my favorite hard top Mercs. I probably got most or all of these photos from the Hamb.

 

Great cars, that former more-door has a slight different and cool roofline.

 

What I'm looking for is something the factory could have built
if they had hardtops before 1952.Then someone chopped it
a mild3 inches,---------------TwoChops

 

Agreed. There's a kind of square-ness about it, kinda like how a chopped '39-40 Merc looks compared to a '39-40 Ford. It works really well too, much better than any other converted moredoor I've ever seen.

There is a beautiful orange-metallic '51, that was built in the '80s by a man for his high school son. It was built as a semi-clone of the Hirohata Merc, but it didn't have curved side glass and obviously the color was different. It was the most perfectly hardtopped Merc I've seen, but I can't remember who built it. Maybe my description will jog someone else's brain since I can't get mine started.

 

Looking for photos like my 49 but with a painted top instead
of the carson styling----TwoChops

Thanks Dave----heading back to Gods country Sunday see you

The dark green 51 with side trim is one absolutely sick!

 

I believe you'll find the Orange one in a Custom Rodder Feature.....

 

Here's a pic I took at the Merc Gathering...

 

Here's a Hirohata stlye car from Mooneyes,2012.

 

^ That bar none has got to be one of the better mercs ever done. The way they cut the beltline out of the bottom of the roof really opens it up for a heavy chop that isnt noticeable.

 

My mordoor, hardtopped..........

 

Umm .......whats a moredor ,is that a Canadian model?

 

The belt line is not cut out.

 

"One does not simply walk into Mordor..."

Nice UK example...

 

Um ... yep ...
