[Flareside Jeff]

Hello Everyone, here's some pics from today of my '85 Bullnose Merc, she's about 98% finished.
What's left to do:
-Finish installing the exhaust system
-Install the "Mercury" Emblems, and mirrors
-Install the Grill Guard with KC Lights
-Install the Tailights
Get her Safety checked and appraised, and licensed,
And then,Keep on Truckin!!!

Yes nice looking truck but I thing red & white would look better

Did you make the decals between the 2 colors?
I thought of doing something but after almost 4 years on the road I just left it with out anything.

The Red and Silver between the Blue and White is Painted on instead of Decals. With the clearcoat over top,
when you run your finger over it, there is no seam so it is nice and smooth!

It was a hot truck even then, see the snow melted around it, now it’s ……WOW !!! You win Jeff, no question at all. That’s a job to really be proud of. CJ.     PS you need to tie your dog up.

Up in Bracebrigde, Ontario
Jeff gets snow up to to the red stripes.
Now Jeff can find the truck in deep snow, unlike Toronto, where the snow is a lot less.
Nice looking truck Jeff!

Very nice. I'm a Mercury guy too and have been debating a similar thing for my 83.
