Customs An older photo of my 49 Merc

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Chris Stapley, Jan 12, 2013.

  1. Just going through some stuff and found a photo of my old 49 Merc. With a little help for my older brother we chopped it 5 1/2" ,smoothed ,roll pans, moulded, louvered hood, that of which I'd just had fly up a few days before this photo, got the cowl fixed before this shot but sure didn't have the hood fitting very well yet! Last I saw of this car it was Candy Red and I hear it went to Florida and maybe headed west to California after that, anyone seen it by chance? Had a signature white tuck n roll interior with dice embroidered in the seat backs, pretty easily recognized . ImageUploadedByTJJ1357997752.773625.jpg

    I remember when you were running it with no skirts. I have a nice pic of it. I cant remember if it was Springfield Ohio or the Ducktail run.
