Thanks man^^^^^^ Rik's picture is one of those that will last forever in my mind,Especially since Jim helped me through out the whole build.Thanks again Rik for this picture to me it's my favorite.
Glad you like it Jeff... Its still one of my favorite photos I took that show as well. Here is a bit larger version of it...
Wow!!! It almost looks photoshopped with the Hirohata sitting in the background.That was a great weekend with a ton of great memories.I still wish I would of had my correct tires on the car when this was taken but oh well...I cant get too greedy.
It's a killer ride and pic . Your merc is an inspiration to me who would build one using yours as a guide on how it's done.And thanks for the comment on my shoebox, much appreciated!
holy chromoly !! so many beautiful cars, when I started working on my 49 merc, in my mind it was going to be the mostest, but when I consider all the beautiful cars pictured in this thread,, well I have to say it's kind of intimidating, however it's also inspiring, the chops the trim the colors the chrome the stance the lines the swoop.It is all very artistic, when I see things that are different from what I am presently doing it makes me realize when I'm done I will have to start another one.
That would make a great POSTER! A then and now poster. Showing people that yes you can still build a bad ass car today how they did back in the days.
Thanks Jeff. The photos were the result of bickford contacting me and shooting the shoebox last week. He is a great photographer, with a eye for detail and a uncanny ability to make it look like it was pulled from the pages if a 1950 edition of a custom magazine.The flathead had to stay , you got to be proud of what's under the hood as well as what the exterior looks like. For me a detailed engine is just as important as a detailed exterior or interior. You going to mooneyes Jeff?
Thanks Paul!!! Well you car is pretty dam CLASSY! Great touches it has on it. You created a smooth and classy car. Heres one of the photos i took. I really like this one. Also dig that BAD ASS flathead.
Johnny Nickname's Shoebox... I dig it!
