Some pics of our 48 Mercury Woodie

Someone was borrowing our woodie for a wedding this weekend and it'd been a good year since it'd been cleaned.

Just washed it and threw a coat of S100 on










metal latches? Who needs them




soon i'm gonna tackle the suspension, i'll probably do it when I polish out the car, it really could use a polishing.

I agree sometimes. We'll wait and see how the suburban will look w/ the same style of wheels. I actually think I may of landed a sponsorship to do something similiar but in 20's

I wish it was green. I don't know why, but every time I see it (and I've seen it in person many times) I'm always surprised that it's tan, and not green.

It and the Suburban are pretty much equally astounding in person; it'd be hard for me to decide which is "cooler." I like the 'burban cuz it's purple though.

and now this, our new project, just had a 400 HP 302 built for it 2500 lbs However, we may be selling both and my dads C5 and getting a little blown ford product if the prices on it keep dropping like they are

It is, my dad doesn't drive them much though (hell the sunbeam we've had for 5 months and we've never driven it )

I just wish i was closer to them, I put a good 5K on the sub last year w/ Adri, but the woodie and the cadillac dont' get much use Hence why we are looking into options of selling a few and getting a shabby ford. If I had a garage down here i'd still his cars all the time just to put some miles on them Hell I think i'd sell the acura and drive the sub full time
