Customs Finally getting my 40 Merc painted

Hell ya!!!!!

 

-Could you post some pictures of how you modified the center arm mount on your teardrop skirts. My 41 ford skirts fit great on my merc but the 41 Buick skirts that I want to put on the car are being a bugger. Any advice would be great.

 

Sweeet!

 

My daily driver dream car is what you have... to own a '40 MERC ledsled is to live life to the fullest!

 

Thanks Nathan!

 

Hey Kevin nice car can't wait to meet you Helio

 

Thanks Helio! I'll see you guys in less than a week! Looking forward to meeting my new friends, you, Jack, and the mercs!

 

damn!!!! cant wait to see it done!

 

Right on my brotha, I can't wait to see it. Hope all is well, HJ.

 

Congrats my friend! It's a great looking car in the satin finish, it'll be even better in gloss!

 

Love this car, it will look great shiny. Especially green.

 

Wow..i dont know how i could miss this one..this is your year,man..all Merc devoted and great to hear that yours will get some shiny on it after many years..no doubt ,it will be a killer...and in Sam's green...a shiny dream!!!!

 

have seen your car--it's bitchen---will really look top notch painted for sure

 

Our man Suge White selfishly took some time off to get married so not too much has been happening! haha, congrats brother!!! Anyway, he's hard at work again. he's fixing all the little bullshit problems on the car so it's going to take some months before it will actually be ready for color. Right now he's doing door gaps, fitting the hood, trunk, and skirts.

 

You must be excited as hell to get Shiney paint on your car. It is really going to put it over the top.

 

Yeah for sure! I cant wait to have an actual finished custom!

 

That is gonna be great, one of my favorites as it is.

 

Man, when we park together at Santa Maria your car will make mine look like a rat rod

 

hahaha, yeah I doubt that!

 

looking great man!

 

Cannot wait to see your Merc shine like a Star! Kevan

 

This is great to see & I am glad you have Adam on it - Silverback will do it justice I'm sure.

 

Sup my man. When fitting the skirts, kevans where a little bit different from what I had been used too. Basically this is what you have. I heated the vertical strap and tapped to shape of the fender skirt , sectioned an inch out of the pull bar, which locks it in place & moved the guide bolt that it swings to lock it in place. It's just a number of trial n errors to get it to fit. Next I had to section the front arm that grabs the lower quarter and pull it out wards so it doesn't suck the skirt and cause a low spot... After that, it's just adjustment.

Heyyyy!
I missed this post and you said nothing about it! Subscribed now.

This will be wonderful! I need to get in to phase II on mine as well. Much work left on it. But too many other projects that need some work right now.

The gloss paint on your fab car will make it top of the line.

Man it's been a few years since we had a Jack and Coke in the front seat of your car in Vegas...

Would love to have you over for OSW with the Danes next year. Maybe I need a driver for my LaSalle...

 

That car is already perfect can't imagine it being any better.

 

Awesome man! Rock and roll!!!!

 

Dang It!!! All these freaking GREEN cars.

seriously, been waiting for the gloss on this deal since the first time i saw it .

so stoked.

now i'm terribly considering putting and leaving my plymouth in primer until this whole 'green thing' dies off....

I'm speechless... you don't know how many times I've dreamed of that car sitting in my driveway as I'm chilling to some Cab Calloway, sipping a drink with my gal.

Your car is true perfection to me...
