Chopped Canadian 40 Merc. Coupe (pics)

Just over at my buddies (Canada Customs & Hot Rods) and took some pics of my ride, thought I would share.
It's a 40 Merc coupe, built in the East Van Garage, chopped 5" in the front and 7" in the back. Got a 354 HEMI, 700R4, and a Ford 9". Painted emerald green with some flattener in the clear. 49 Lincoln tail lights, 49 Plymouth bumpers, 47 Lincoln door buttons and lot's of scrapes on the tail pipes.

 

Really nice,... got sort of a Matranga thing going on, looks great

 

nice ride

 

that's a real knockout, love the lincoln buttons, tail-lights, and that hemi. Very slick!

 

kool car,,sorry i missed ya today ,,i was there most of the day,,thats my'49 getting chopped in the shop!!!...poncho

 

Tail dragger with a Hemi WTF that is bad ass.

 

Greasey dragger! Build em, drive em ! Too cool Bobby

 

Hey Bobby - The previous reply was from me - but you were logged on my computer and I didn't realize it - Thats why your handle showed up

 

That is KLEAN!!!

 

Jesus,,,that thing is beautiful!

 

That thing is just gorgeous!!! I love the hemi. Perfect, perfect perfect!

 

WOW

that ROCKS.. any shots of the interior? what did you do with the stock dash?

 

WOW.
That's beautiful!! Well done.

 

thats one of the baddest draggers ive seen in a looonngg time!!!!stellar stuff man!!!!!!!!!breeder

 

wow man wow

 

The interior is the stock bench seat with a mexican blanket and the dash is basicaly stock,with the plastic pieses reemoved and smoothed out.

 

Why cant there be shops like that over here!?! Nice Merc btw!

 

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.

that is all.

 

damn canadians!!
looks great i dig it

 

you and your dad have always had beautiful cars.....and i'm jealous

 

Absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite customs are the 39-40 Mercs from the late 40's/early 50's and now yours too!!
Damn fine ride.

 

Very very nice !!!

 

Beautiful ride man...

 

Is that a reflection of a '49 Ford on the drivers door? heh heh. Rest up for Saturday Bob, "We gonna party!"

 

I saw yaa at The Cat and Fiddle show...once again as I said before..VERY NICE!!!!

 

Gorgeous

 

Kool, you cannot beat a chopped '40 Merc. When people hear the word
Merc, they instantly think about the '49 to '51 body style. The ultimate
Kustom in my eye is the '40. When you add a Hemi on top of that, your just
adding more fuel to the fire. uuummmmmmmmmpppppppaaaahhhhh!!!

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

that one seems to fall off nice. I noticed it has no side glass.... I notice those things. that wont be easy.
the hemi is a cool choice.
that seems to be the standard chop hieght because much lower gets real hard on an already hard car to chop.

I think most agree that 39-40 Mercury coupe customs are the coolest cars to customize.

and shots of it from the side?

 

All I can say is WOW that thing is well done outside and in the engine compartment you nailed the look.
