WINTER PROJECT: The Merc that everyone told me to throw away

damn the tail lights and fins look great , good job

 

grate work,put your mind to it and it will happen,just keep on working .

 

Yep...the only one.... ....Lol

 

Man i thought i had Spirt fixing tooo far gone cars!!! Amazing work! Cool quarters!!

 

The bozos that told you to sell it will be the first ones that want to buy it when your finished.

Great work!!

I have a friend alot like you. I ask him if he had ever done somthing like this and his reply was he did not know he could not do it. keep up the great work.

 

Looks cool. Once you have those quarters in primer the car will look bitchin!

 

Great to see another local guy saving some of these Mercs. I have 2 that have been rescued from the trash. Neither were as far gone as yours so it gives me hope. Nice job. Those quarters look great on there. I can't wait to see this one in person....

 

pretty cool, if you know of anyone looking for 56 packard quarters I have a pair.

 

Thanks for saving a very cool rusted out hulk!!!!!
It's gonna be badass

 

who ever told u to throw that away should be shot twice

 

Very cool !!!

 

Nope. I agree. Those fins look ridiculous on those cars. Putting pointy parts on a smooth round car just kills the flow. But that's just my humble opinion.

Awesome job on saving the Merc btw. It gives hope to all of us rebuilding total rust cans.

 

You do great work! I really like the Packard fins.Very good idea.

 

Great work. You showed that you can save a car that many would scrap. I do agree with some of the guys, I am not sure about the fins but I want to see more pics of it. It might grow on me as it comes along. Awesome work though!

 

You are the master of metal!

 

Any chance you have larger pics of the initial rust repair? Mainly the rocker and cowl area?

Fantastic work too! Can't wait to see more updates.

 

i demand updates and BIGGER pics LOL!!!!

 

Incredible!!!

 

You are 1 brave (and talented) dude.

 

Those who say rodding is dead should see your work!!! Nice going.

 

i guess i will join your club of cars to far gone as my 31 5w is in as bad a shape as alot of others on here

great work though, coming along real good

 

good god man!!! your a fuckin animal.... nice nice job!! your a hell of a fabricator congrats ... dave

 

I still like the Packard lights, I think it looks cool.

I've got '50 skirts and a rear overrider if any locals are interested, I'm in Chicago.

 

Nice job, the car looks a lot better in your shop then sitting next to Dino's. Haha.

 

Any updates on this build??

 

I really love when someone ignores mouthy know-it-all friends and does what he knows he can do. More power to you, you buck the trend!

Should be a manditory read for anyone who listens to the terms: You cant, You shouldn't, and you wont.

 

I think I got your twin, They both look the same!!

 

Trailer Queen?

 

It's almost time for winter, wonder what he will get done this time around.
