Projects 1939/1940 Mercury Coupe Build..

Recently Sold my 49 Cosmo.I decided to find a new project and Finally Found a 39 Merc Coupe..Car came from New Mexico..I am amazed at the metal..I am a firm believer in desert steel..Can't wait to start digging in...Will post more pics soon..Thanks..Drew

 

Cool! Looks like a great start, these look AMAZING as 40s-early 50s era customs.

what are your plans for it?

 

Awesome congrats!

 

Wanting to Keep it Fifties era custom..definitley Going to lower the lid on this baby...

 

Cactus in them there Mercs....LOL

 

man that thing is clean!!! great score.
I look forward to the progress pictures.

 

Congrats! Got my 39 coupe last year. It's currently waiting in line to get a full make over. Keep us updated on your progress - I'll be watching...

 

Looks like a great start!

 

that is soo cool. I am going to get one someday

 

Me too Jeff! Carson-topped all the way!

 

My dream custom. Check out Sledge's merc, it's perfect.

 

Oh man, beauty!

 

clean start,grille looks useable(lucky you). needs a haircut.....bad

 

39 grilles have stainless molding over a mild steel structure and are fairly easy to work with unlike 40 grilles which are pot metal. One of the advantages, but not quite as sleek looking.

 

That's a hell of a nice starting point for a great custom. One of those cars that a properly chopped version makes the stock version look like it has something wrong with it though.

 

Any pics or ideas on the rear wheel well openings...

 

Eh what a find! Good on ya! And for sure check out Sledges Merc, its reet!

-Shiny

 

Way to go! It's amazing what a perfectly proportioned chop will do to that car!

 

looks as you have a great start for a sweet ride!!

 

Awesome find...congrats!!
I can't wait to see more on this build...keep the update pics coming!!!

 

That thing is clean! Great score! One of my dream cars for sure. Check the Rudy Rodriguez Merc. for some inspiration.

hahahaha! Obviously,i'm FUCKIN JEALOUS!!! One of my favorite cars,EVER!
I would check out the one Rudy started and low springs shop finished. Also,sledge's merc is BADASS too. There are quite a few on the HAMB Merc Club Thread. Almost traded mine for a '39 when I first got it. I'll get one someday.
Looks like you found a nice one. (disreguard all the FU's)haha!

 

Wish I had never sold my '39. They are great looking, especially with a chop.

 

Great ride ! Even from the factory the "B" pillar's on these are cool.
