Looking sharp Pro, how did she handle in the snow?

Thats looking great bluestang, she is coming together pretty good. I am 2 toneing my car in blues and using a silver and purple stripe seperating them.

Dave, thats not a ford, it can take a little weather!!

Real happy these days. I finally got the car out of the garage and off to have it balasted and then body and paint. Its been a long time coming for my 67 cougar. I will be updating with pictures soon.

Ted sounds great . Know the feeling has got to be a good one. If i can ask how much is the local blaster charging or who is it maybe i can give them a call. Thinking of farming out the A instead of me doing it this spring . send me a pm please

Brick colors sound great . Looking forward to your pics when you get it back.

I've been looking for a color scheme though out the start of the 31 . Have some ideas but none are locked yet.

Pro how many donuts did you do in the snow.

A little tail light play pic

Well, the window channels didn't show up for the Merc, so I fabbed the reinforcements for the seats (fiberglass floor, ya know) and got them installed and did some more wiring. Nothing left on the wiring now except the reciever box for the remote.

Decided to play with the 'Maro for a bit, made the right side lower panel for the back end. Spent a lot more time trying to figure out what I wanted then I did building!!!!! Couldn't weld it in, my panel flanger is out on loan so now I have something to do next week while I'm figuring out the rest of it. The new panel will stick out 3" less then the factory plastic bumper (I HATE plastic bumpers)....

Dave pics are teasing . Finish it up and get them pics on here I can't wait. Seeeing this is inspiration to all who follow.

I'll get the other lower corner built, then just a matter of connecting the dots between the corners....Hopefully I can get back to it a bit next week.

Looking good Dave, coming along nicely I would say. I am looking forward to seeing some pics of the ol' merc painted, that is going to be sweet heh Dave?

Should be out of my hair for awhile, going to the upholstery shop sometime next week.... The next Merc in the shop is getting a BBF in it with a C-6. It's a coil over car, then one more with air ride to do.... Anybody wanna buy a Merc????

Oh yeah, here's a shot of the front with the headlights in. The bezels for the headlights are still hanging on the small parts paint rack.....somebody forgot to prime them!!!!!!!

Not a problem, wouldn't be a Vette Frame.

Dave two builds and still going strong . Geez i need some different batteries . The Merc is looking great i like the touches i see. Really some old time custom rodding .

When I work alone I am really hurting for help! Sounds like you are merc' poor huh Dave?

Started putting in the new gauges today and I decided that I should probly repaint the dash first. I love these TPI gauges, very nice look for the money.
