ajulia Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Hello all! Hope everyones new years comes with promise and prosperity! As for the homestead getting ready for the big move south! Here I have a 49 merc in tribute to my father who passed in april of 08'.. It started life in 09' but was put away till las month jus because i fly through ideas like crazy and didnt want to stray from the original concept. Pops loved to race whether on the track or rippin down Kelly St here in good ole Roc city. However! what he really enjoyed was takin us out on friday nites to watch his favorite H.S. football team kick it on the field! Being that he was born in 49' i thought this was most fitting! For the most part it is OOB for the exception of the tires and the scratchbuilt sunvisor. Alot of time was spent trying to implement a rag top and it hit me to try the Uhaul rolls of cardboard tape. I cut the spindles off the arms and dropped it as much as possible and a sorta pancake job to the hood! I enjoyed the build up and I hope you all will as well. As always my friends thank you for stoppin by Hott Bloxx!
