Here's my current ride, and old friend... 1955
Mercury Montclair
Real awesome Patina... Paint faded by mother nature!
Ford 390 V8
, C6 Tranny & posi rear....
I'd Purchased
this awesome Cuban-looking sled... in 2008 from Richard Rawlings...
Yes the Gas
Monkey Garage one...
When the
Merc came in from the USA it was far from okay,
Lots of things are done to it to get it where it is today...
Brand new
wiring job, Complete
new framerails...welded in. Double
Exhaust system.
Kustom made
interior, green / white vinyl, Tiki-style!
Lowered
front & rear. ( Bagged at Rear ), Fender
skirts. Wheels freshly
powdercoated
Rebuilt
front suspension... Upper arm
bushings, coils, shocks,
New
brakelines, gastank, Etc.
Finaly this
thing turned out to one hell of "Rat Sled" that is a very reliable "Drive it Anywhere" Sled.
After a
while Rinus... good friend and fellow CC member did take the Merc and he owned
it for about 6 years... after swapping it back last November It's mine again ;-)
