I'll have to measure it, Doug. I'll let you know this weekend sometime.

Lots of progress this week; motor mounts finished, Speedway trans crossmember in, rear brakelines and shocks in. Now I'm starting second project to fund this one. Lots to do.....

Looks good Falcon, where the heck did you find all that ambition!!!!!???????

Well, Merc 2 went out for it's shakedown cruise yesterday. Haven't seen Steve and Doug since!!!! Lots of little things to take care of, but I'd really just as soon leave most of them till after the upholstery is in, then fix all the little things this winter when it goes down for paint. Right now, it's cruisin' time!!! The car is in primer with a couple coats of clear on it to protect the primer from the weather an UV.... Should be going to the upholstery shop next week-----if I can get my partner's to park the dang car long enough!!!!!!

I never really thought about it. I just love to build stuff and my wife is cool with it so off I go. Just not much of a TV watcher, I guess. Unless it's Star Trek or Dr Who reruns or Cardinal baseball. The Cardinals aren't too pleasant to watch lately, though. I'm going whole hog on my rat truck project right now, gotta make some $$$ to keep this one going. Great to have you guys back, the temp website was OK but there's no place like home.

Falcon send some my way . I want to get cpe in paint so i can sell it also . Want the funds for rod and FB . Contracts up and i want to sit on mine a bit just in case there is a strike .

Looking forward to seeing some cruisin' shots of the ol' Merc Dave, I bet your getting excited seeing her go down the road eh?

The chasis is really looking good Falcon, getting some great detail going. I wish mine looked that good.

Last Dave seen of the Merc was it's tail lights LOL . Hopefully its back before digital cams are extinct .

Still haven't seen anything of the Merc, guess the guys are having fun! I did get the tailight panel roughed in on Jackies Camaro..... Now I've got to figure out what to do for a front end....The stock one is fugly!!!!

Wow, Dave, a Musmaro. Cool. Chevy never had it so good.

hmmmm. You're about the 3rd guy that said that. Just a coincidence I guess.....I'd certainly never be the type of guy who would intentionally make the back end of a maro resemble a Mustang.....

Dave not being biased here but that does look interesting . Your going to have people wondering what they see there . I dont remember any radiused lamps though what year are they .

Nothing but cheap trailer lights from the parts store set in a recessed opening.... Somehow it ended up resembling a Mustang, don't know how that happened!!!!!
