47 merc hot rod project
 

Well this little beauty replaced my ornge/blk coupe. I hope to make it as fast but i dont know we'll see. Heres a couple of pics of when i got it and a few things i've got done already.

wow those pics are small will try and resize them

maybe these are better

When i got it it had the flathead v8 with 3 speed trans,enclosed drive rear and original straight axle front. I have since...
installed a lucky7 4in drop straight axle front end with disc brakes
an 8.8 31spl explorer rear
cut out some of the x frame so my tko will fit
and still try to come up with a cool flat color to paint it....
this is my first old car restoration project and i'm stoked about it:metal:

Cool project. :metal:

me and my dad after a 14hr day of work on this beast...i know my dad looks homeless but he's really not it his house:jester:

Cool pic of the two. Keep it going.

Nice project!!!!!

got the explorer rear welded in and ready to start the 4 link mock up...in the pic the concrete is not level the plan is for the car to sit 3/4in lower in the rear than the front with 2 1/2in zoomies comin out behind the front tires with my 1 chamber flowmasters :jester:

Nice !!! You going to the noccaula show this weekend ?
