thanx guys!
she's not really a mercury -i just like all the shiny letters ! ..i'm still debating on whether or not i'll slap the m100 badges on the side or not...it looks a little cleaner with out em..but who knows...
the cab ...well actually most of the sheetmetal ..i had on 'er before this one (cab #2) was off a 68 merc (which i drove around in for awhile but the shoddy collision repairwork done to it made it crabwalk up the road somethin fierce) ...that cab ended up rusting out too much for me to keep adding metal to so it had to go
the hood and box (which needs the floor and wheel tubs repaired) are from the 68 merc ,the cab is from a 70 f350 motorhome,and the rest of the stuff is from about 5 different bumps (the frame,rear springs,9 in rearend and rear bumper are still the original 1969 stuff) and about 6 different othe parts cars i 've had ...
