That is looking awesome (mind you, bare metal always gives me wood) Always love the shots where the roof is 'plunked' back on and it looks like you're 90% there, when you're only really 10% of the way along. Beautiful job! Bear
Theres not to many chopped 50 Mercs in NZ, so its great to see another being built locally. Nice work.
Very cool chop. I know only too well how much work is still to be done. Mine is chopped 5 inches at windscreen and maybe 6 at the rear.
I never tire of seeing a nice chop, 7Ps. Proper planning & preparation prevent piss poor performance.
thanks for all the good comments guys, i want to keep the flathead and 3 speed, it smokes a bit but thats adds character. i hate to say it but i have bags for the rear cause i have a shit of a driveway and also when its full of people it drags its arse everywhere. we are trying to keep it simple,not overdone, might retain all of the side chrome. this is my dream car so progress will be slow, will post more pics as the work gets done. did 23.8 @ 58mph at the drags, go the flatheads!!!!
I wish I had been there to put my 2 cents woth in. I`ll be back early June for a couple of weeks. Hope to see it in the flesh, Frog. Be good to catch up. It`s been a while.....
