Hey shiny, if you need to unload some extra merc stuff, I have some room! I have only seen 2 Merc slicks in the So Cal area, pretty rare down here, only think more rare would have to be crew cabs. I really like the early F-1 mercs, too cool.

Haahaha,
I have some Merc stuff yes. BUT was really only being a smartass to BackyardResto cuz he DOESN'T have his location under his name, so was telling him to drive over after work!.
But if anyone wants to head over with beers we can chat mercs.
Oh and early Mercs are M-47 not F-1, hehehe! I've had a few of those in my time, got one sitting in my yard waiting its turn. A 1948 Merc 1/2 ton with OG paint. Gonna do one for my wife as a driver as we got married in one and brought our first kid home from the hospital in it too.

Johnny, now the thread hijacking makes more sense. Being that yer names Johnny, just like Johnny Canuck the king over hijacks!! bawahahahahaha

Shiny, I do know of a 61 Mercury grill sitting in the truck box in a wrecking yard. If I am correct, it is a painted steel grill, but may require some work. I may be getting that way this week to check things out.

Here is an option for you. As you know stuff that makes it to the internet doesn't every get deleted (ha at least some of it).

Http://web.archive.org

They have snap shots of web pages and stuff. I looked for the site you had your CC pics (waybackgarage.com) on but havn't found those as of yet. Found the other projects on that site. :)

What happened to the old computer's Hard drive. Maybe they can be recovered? just a thought. If I find any pics I will let you know.
