59 Impala Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Her are some pictures of a 49 Merc that had most of the parts missing so I found what was needed and rusted it up a bit. I also used the lowered rear suspension for the worn out spring look and it's sagging in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59 Impala Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Thanks for all the kind words guys. I had a lot of fun building this from what I started with. The hood, trunk, engine and other parts had to be found to complete this car. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Spot on for sure. Especially the care taken on the stance. That droopy butt is how I remember most of those worn out tubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59 Impala Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys, and I hear ya Mike about the droopy rear. I finally found a use for the dropped rear springs. I'm not a fan of low riders and the dropped rear was an easy fix with these parts. Dan Edited May 10, 2019 by 59 Impala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
