Thanks Pete, Ford of Canada made MERCURY Trucks from 1946 thru 1968.
I have always wanted a Merc, but my favourite Trucks are the "Bullnose" Fords
So I decided to build a one of a kind "Bullnose" MERCURY!
If Ford of Canada had continued to build Mercury Trucks into the 80's maybe
They would have looked something like mine.....

Re: She's Finished!

Wow, the workmanship and details are really something, I cant imagine how much effort went into just the tailgate. You should show off the interior too!

Re: She's Finished!

I'm a bit humbled. I spent today spraying vibrant red in the summer heat and chasing grain to the point of depression. then I look in on the forum and see possibly the prettiest truck EVER. wow this merc came together wonderfully. if at the same show I would just park in the back row. "mic drop" if there ever was one.
