from 1949-1952..any custom Merc or Ford with either a Merc front-end or any other front-end...reason being...I'm getting my hands on a 1951 coupe soon..& I'm looking for ideas & inspiration for my future build....thanx
You're getting a 51 what? Mercury or Ford? Here's a tip; search for "HAMB Shoebox Club" or "49-51 Mercs,lets see em" There's PLENTY of both on those threads...
My very first build at 15 in 1965. You should have seen the mess it was when I got it. My 49 Ford Gasser in 76, a different view this time. My 40 Ford in 84, then in 90 My 46 Ford in 02
I've laid my hands on both '51 Ford Mercury coupe & a '51 Ford sedan(gonna make it into a conv.)thanx everyone for the pics so far...
If you look at the threads Bob mentioned as well as "hottest customs lately" I think you'll find mountains of what you're after. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=191426
Ok...coupe/2-door...same body style as yours Bob,& it's a '49 Merc that I'm gonna put '51 Merc front clip & taillights on it,with a '57 Chevy front bumper(seeing I've got one)
It's the Ford Mercury bit that he's confused about. They're 2 different makes, same parent. But I think we now know it's a Mercury coupe.
