As most of you may know I'm building a Merc with with wife. But she went out on holidays to visit her sister, and I picked this up from a club mender. So on with the build. It's from what I'm told a 25 Chevy and the plan is to make it a roadster.

My score so to say.

Well got a little done this weekend. Got my frame all welded up and gusseted, cross member made and motor mounts.

Also started my trunk last night. Although I'm thinking I went a little thick on the rear panel think it's 16 gauge freek'n hard to bend.

Well got to work back on the roadster again but left my camera at work, so on with the crappy cell phone pictures.

My buddy is storing his rotiserry at my place to I figured I'd give it a try and do some patching.

Got a little more of my innards done and I have my camera this time, and got my motor cleaned up.

you are building a really cool lookin roadster out of almost nothing..thats one of the things I love about this site..awesome job!
 
This is a very inspirational build. Like ShovelHeadShawn said, you are making a cool ride out of really rough material.
 
Not sure on the front end thinking it's mid 40's though with.



Well it's got some paint on it and the headers done last night. Waiting on brake parts and odds and ends.
