I love builds like this. That's old school hot rodding! And a '54 Mercury is a GREAT place to start!! They are beautiful cars. Yours reminds me of the hot rodded '54 Lincoln in Moonshine Highway. But that yellow.....it's definitely....yellow! :o LOL

Should be a cool and fun car to drive.

Sweet! Friend has a 54 conv. we just pulled the yblock out of to send to the paint shop. He's not sure what to put back in it yet. He's leaning towards a sbf but he also has a couple FEs laying around.

I think the yellow fan would make it run 10 degrees cooler .

Keeping the Y block would make it run 10 mph faster  LOL

I Know, I know,  I am pushing it... This is a Y Block free zone, but it was just too easy... It would have been better if it had been the witty reply to a Peasley or Joel comment.

Speaking of Peasley, he sent me a picture of him driving his 57 up on a trailer.. In the background my sharp eyes spied a 71 Olds 98 hiding in his garage.. His new retirement ride..I did not see if it had skirts.  LOL

Great looking ride Bruce.Should be well worth the effort........Sadly Royce,the skirts you speak of have been the only kind I've affiliated myself with for quite a while.Heartaches have diminished considerably.
