    Here's a 1949 Merc built by Ernie Adams. You know...there are a lot of people out there that are extremely talented in many areas and in many ways....Ernie is one of those guys.
    This is an unbelievable accomplishment.
    :tiphat:Tip of the hat to you, Ernie!

    He choose the right chassis to build that on. I had one and drove it for 330,000 miles! It's a late 70's Toyota Corolla with the 3kc 1200cc engine. A more solid dependable powerplant I've not seen.

    This pic means a lot to me. The Buick is a Buick Limited and my dad had one that was CHERRY. I was just learning to drive....looking out the front over the hood looked like an aircraft carrier! I LOVED that car. It was HUGE and had all kinds of neat accouterments inside! What a car that was! I've never seen another Limited like it in all the years since.

    Both of those cars are amazing. What skill it took to build that little Mercury!
