Paul Wingfields 50 Merc

Thought id post pix of the latest pain in the ass project around here thats nearing completion. LOL Its a 66k original mile merc that underwent a hot rod transformation with a brand new frame, a 2007 6 liter truck engine and auto trans and a full AirRide suspension.

The motor is all stock except for headers and the Edelbrock Victor LS intake and elbow. For some reason, that all stock motor is fast as hell! It pulls like a high 12 second car once you keep the revs up around 6000 rpm and it HAS GOT TO weigh a ton. The car should be at the Lost In The 50's show this weekend.

Yeah it may " OFFICIALLY " be his wifes car. Whatever it took to convince her to let him buy it! ha ha

The paint is whatever was on it before. Its just driver quality paint and soon its gonna get the top chopped and painted a cool candy red color. I sprayed the underhood stuff but thats all i did.
