1949 merc cancer society build

[Jstfrnds]

  I lost my mom in 2009 and decided to do a build for the cancer society. My moms fav color was pink and she LOVE the merc. I posted these awhile back but had an issue with pics. Hope you enjoy them. And congrats to all the cancer survivors and keep fighting. Very proud of anybody that has to fight this deadly disease. Staying positive and knowing your family loves you is what helps. I know for a fact cause I fight t-cell lymphoma everyday. And building these cars and sharing with you all helps me stay positive. Again. Enjoy the builds I do.

    I like it, cool how you did the ribbon

logos on the seats and stuff.

  But those front wheels are a bit on

the scary side. Like "Death Race 3000"

or something like that!!

It looks great!  Sorry about your mom.  I thank the Lord every day that I still have my folks.  

 

Your mom would love it too, I am sure.

May the FORCE be with you on your personal health issues. My condolences for your mother. I also lost both of my parents to Cancer. Your build is very original in so many ways. In addition to the custom body and interior I really like the unique blower setup on the flathead.

Please share the construction details of that unique supercharger and carb assembly with us.I would really like to create a similar set up on one of my in process projects.Thanks for sharing such a meaningful project with us.My wife and I are both cancer survivors and are very aware of what you are doing here with this build.

Thank you for your build and tribute to your mom. I applaud your fight and courage. Keep fighting brother and stay strong. I too am a cancer survivor so I know your struggles both physically and mentally. However mine was colon cancer. Not to hijack your thread but I want to encourage everyone over 50 to get a colon cancer screening. You may not know it until it's too late and it can kill you. Please get tested y'all.
