Replying about the story on my merc.
My Dad always loved and dreamed about having a chopped 50 merc. I was lucky enough to find and buy it for my Dad. I was working on it and planning on having it done for his retirement. He had some life changes happen to him and retired early. He passed away 4 months after he retired unexpectedly. I never touched the car for a year after he passed. I've taken the build a little farther this year and hope to be cruising it sometime next year. Chassis is done and on air ride. I splurged on the rear suspension by using no limit rear strong arm set up, giving it 9 inches of air ride. It's for sure one car that my son will get later in life. Thanks for asking, Rob Mullins
