That looks great man! Now I need to go light a fire under my old man so we can finish both 54's and the 38 Deluxe and find it a new home!
I'm waiting on a replacement 3rd member to come in that I bought from member "alanfreeman" and other than that its complete and for sale. This weekend will be its first two shows, one in conroe and the other in cypress.
Nice job, those Merc's make great cruisers. I think I would convert it to an altenator with 12 volts though, sure makes them start better. Here is a pic of a 52 that my buddy owns, i had the pleasure of converting it to 12 volts and helping assemble it.
Hi all, I have since bought the 53 of noxided last year so that my family & I could drive around Texas & go to LSRU in austin on our trip from Australia. It's got a bit out of hand. We have since had install a big vintage air system, Australian seat belts, upgraded brakes, full tune, complete body & paint (same colour) new chrome bumpers & teeth & new hood/roof lining. Darren Wenzel (aussie living in Austin) will be striping just before round up. Can't wait to hit sth congress, the salt lick & all the hot spots in Austin. Noxided, if you read this it would be great to catch up while we are in town. LIE10
You did a great job on this resto. I would never have been able to do so much and have it turn out that nice.
Had a shop in Texas do the work to get it ready for my family & I to drive while at round up & holidaying in Austin. Would do it again. NO.
I thought I was the only one that had a shop like that . I like working outside but I don't like sunburned bald head .
