Thread: whatcha think of my new merc

Tweet

It's no wonder you wanted it, I bet it was those "FINS" that got you hook, line & sinker.
GREAT FIND......joe

eyepoppin, I sure will. Do you go to the James Dean show in Fairmont? I plan on taking the Merc there this year. Maybe take the SS Impala to the super Chevy show in Indy, maybe the Goodguys show also. If you ever go by the Olive Garden on grape rd. Mishawaka, and see the Merc stop by have someone say my head lights are on, and I'll know it's you.

ill do that. ive been going to car showes for years but mostly mini truck shows so im not familiar with the dates and places i'd like to hit a goodguys show this year for sure as im looking at moving away from building mini trucks and imports and going back into building more of the street rods and hot rods. i've got a buddy that has a 66 chevy stepside that is full show and its gorgeous youll have to see it i know hes been talkin bout going to more of the hot rod shows so maby he'll want to cruze with me. but let me know when these shows are and maby we can hook up and cruze down.

I can only think of one improvement to make on your Merc, Poppin'-----put it in my garage instead of yours!!!!! Yeah, I'm jealous!!!!!

Sounds good.
I’ll let you know when they are coming to Indy, I get the Goodguys Gazette it list all of the shows locations. The Super Chevy Show is also at Indy everything from Street Rods, Tri five Chevy’s, muscle cars, if it's a Chevy it's there, sometimes they will let a other cars in with a Chevy engine, it’s a good show. Your buddy's 66 Chevy truck would be a big hit at all three shows. The James Dean show is really good you can see some really nice customs, plus just about everything in between. There are three shows going on during the weekend. That show is the third weekend in September.

ya they are so much nicer to deal with and there time tested and proven to work and be safe, and with a little design time and a good tubeing bender you can make them look so cool and crazy.
