Most perfectly proportioned hammered roof I've ever seen on a four door Merc. This person who did this was more than a wonderful craftsman, he was also an Artist.
Reminds me of when I was a kid thumbing through 1950's custom car magazines. From the color to the interior, to the craftsmanship, everything about this says old school build. Absolutely gorgous.
Ima quigmire, sure is old school build at least some people in here know what they're talking about.
my graduation present in 1960 was a four door 49 merc god I loved that car .
This has to be the nicest chopped 49-51 Merc I've seen. You really did a nice job. The proportions are beautiful and the metal work is terrific. Keep up the good work!
The metal wizardry never fails to amaze me.....I'm sucker for traditional hotrods and kustoms....I want it! 😉😄😂👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻😍
This is just one stunning chop and build!!! Hats off to the metal fabricators who worked on this build, truly talented person/people!!! I will be looking for more videos from this channel. Fabulous workmanship here!
One of my favorite custom cars!! After this, a two door is allmost boring. I just love it. The grill and rear bumper is a piece of art by it selfe.
Bob Hirohata would approve.
Loved seeing it go from a beat up bundle of rust to a thing of beauty!
that is the exact opposite of what my wife has done
What a great job, we need more people like you guys that have the skills and experience to do this kind of work. Not just a skill but an art as well.
Beautiful workmanship - beautiful result !
Thinking out of the box!!! That s what it s all about, not just another cookie cutter chop. Well done!!!
50 mercury my all time favorite, chopped top really set them off.
The Hirohata Merc as a 4-Door! Utterly cool, thank you.
Great looking custom and nice pastel color.
perfect restoration of a classic car. It looks great with that green malibu and the details
That's not a restoration, it's a re-creation.
What a great chop...and suicide doors too!
Gran bel lavoro complimenti, tratti la lamiera come io mangio un gelato. Poi, bellissima macchina, un sogno.
What a beautiful restoration to a car that will last for many years!! The 49 and 50's Mercs are my favorite cars! Wish I could afford one!!
O
What an amazing job you have done there, Beautiful looking Car. All the best from the UK.
Excellent fabrication 👍still a way to go - awesome like 👌😁
I like the skirts, the suicide doors and everything else. If I had the money this car would be in my collection.
I hate four doors but this one looks real Groovy ! Damn that is a lot out work. My friend has a four door 1957 Chevy that he turned into a two door. I have seen a 1955 Chevy four door turned into a two door. I never thought that this could be done or that it would turn out this cool. "CHOPPIN AINT EASY ,IT'S NECCESARY !"
I would have used a donor and took the back glass sheet metal and all one piece to tie into the front half roof.. if I had a donor car, always try that if they are avalable and not too costly! These guys do good work.. I love this chit ! ART on wheels !
We had a 51 4dr when I was little... blue/indigo, got stolen for a bank robvery get away car and ran engine hot blew it !
Really Nice job on the old Merc. Although I did not chop mine It has some similar treatments to the 49 I had back in 1963, especially the front fenders. You can see a bit of it in the my thumbnail.
new sub !! Greetings from a place that hates cars, New york's horrible salted roads!
Awesome work fantastic craftsmanship love everything except color choice. But mad skills bro congrats
SMOOTH !!!
Phenomenal work!
My thoughts....PRICELESS 🤩❤️..!!! Beautiful build awesome work real eye 👁 candy would love to own and drive this hand made American work of art 🖼 great job thanks..!!!
incredible job. I would have to warm up with an Egyptian pyramid first but I'm short the 100, 000 slaves so I'll just enjoy watching your fabrication talent
Beautiful ride
awesome top work!
Such a beauty, so hard to get the lines right on a 4dr Merc, and that car is so right.
It's beautiful.
Un trabajo majestuoso!!
Beautiful
That's one of the few 4 door cars I actually like..
really like. nice body metal work
Nice.
I'm researching chopping tops for my first custom project and trying to figure how I want my wifes car to look. Theres so many different looks depending on how much you chopping from front to back off. Amazing work in this video
Hey Chris Wright check out Bello's Kustoms ... You won't be disappointed..
Pretty cool and clever.
One day an original unchopped old American car will turn up at a car meeting and everybody will go "Wow that is unique!"
Will there then be a roof raising movement? 😁
Its a shame its Not a 2 door But does look Great with suicide Doors, great chop, I think a Merc is a Great looking car
Where do these guys get the replacement glass tho? It's all flat glass? Been Studying on this for laminate glass, gonna grind some down. I'm told it's been done but might take several tries.
awesome!!!!
Very cool build ... awesome ride
Beautiful car, great job on the metal work, the color not so much
Very nice job. At least it's got paint, not like some of the rusty rat-rods. Why the heck they go to so much effort building a car then letting it rot away sure beats me. Kids, eh!
How many shops would dare take on a 4dr chop? Kudos to all the teks involved,especially the metal master,great result!
I like the rear door window detail
Really nice chop. Hell of a lot hours.
GREAT CAR AND PROFISIONAL WORK ;-)
Great job 👏🏻
Awesome
Nice car ✌️
IMPRESIONANTE RECONSTRUCCIÓN.
1st idont like the pukey color love the suicide 4drs for car showing nice chop i would have done also whod have kept rest of caroriginal with body drop and painted chrysler black cherry
Super car!!
I think if the color was candy I would be way better same color just a little darker mix .... But great job on all that work.....
Have a look at the Australia “EFIJY”.Debuted at The Australian International Motor Show in 2005.
Oh cool! A modern Twist on the barris hirohata Merc with a more-door. It's got the spot on 50s look that's for sure. Nice, I'd drive the tires right off of it. I wonder what the drivetrain is??
MAGNIIIIIFIQUE !!
INSANE.....
Amazing
awesome roof to make a panoramic glass roof/rear windshield
i like your color choice. It's different
Nice work man
Looks like voodoo Larry car... My favorite customs 50s radical style
Artworks approved
damn thats perdy, beautiful body work
Awesome car, damn pistachios .
the color inside and out is reminiscent of the legendary hirohata merc. well done!
49 back light nice touch
Класс! Моя любимая тема.
What a brilliant job is it going to the riddler.
Cosa dire ,meravigliosa.
Terrific build as usual, and the paint JOB was flawless (the colour on the other hand...). Question though: what donated the roof section you welded in to cover up to the back window? It looked like it came off another ride.
Dam nice job,,,I build and restore classic cars,,have a street rod I built from scratch all aluminum body have 9 trophies from car shows with it,,,have 8 classic cars waiting to restore,,,just finished a 45 dodge pickup and starting a 72 chevelle,,,so I know what you went through. Like me it's a good thing you can do it all.
"But enough about me, let's talk about you. What do you think of me?"
Looks like Voodoo Larry’s Voodoo Hawaiian Mercury.
Not too shabby at all
Beautiful 50's era look people don't get it those solid colors were what people would drive around in this way if it got scratched or God forbid wrecked it was easy to color match , It can use a few other little tricks but it is a good representation of a car of the period , Kandy paints are nice but it is a pain in the but to match slot of people I know wind up pinstriping over chips or having murals to cover where repairs were made it's cheaper than painting the whole car And Paint Jobs Aren't Cheap
Awesome job I think you should have put cream color on it too......
Classicos nunca devem ser violados na originalidade..
Cortar colunas p capota ficar baixa..
Acabou cm encanto.
Zajebista fura great joob
👍👌
Great job! Are the front wind wings going back on the car?
AMAZING METAL WORK
I'm not yet your caliber. Through trail and ERROR and enrolling in CNC Machinist degree classes I hope I'm finally get there. Lots of times I find myself getting "burnt out/bored" with an extensive build and start rushing to finish and mess up. Also I may put in in the shop corner to sit a year. Any advise on handling this flaw of mine. Thanls and top notch metal fab. Also Ive got 20yrs experience on my own. Paint/body was taught by dad but metal fab and mod I'm self taught
Do something every day big or small even if it just sweeping the floor just to keep you motivated. Small jobs get done faster a lot of little jobs turns into a big job done
How would you get one of those on a trailer if you needed to?
I want a job with you, I think I can do it too. btw awesome ride.
Each there own but I like it better without the fender skirts
stuff like this oughta be X rated.... :)
*Let the Sunshine In...*
Back seat like a living room
I would build some wings on front fenders and rear quarters.....
And the magic happened
You can't get cooler than this ride. But it sets so low. It will drag.

What product do u use to make it shine. Polish flawless love the show
El auto le quedó más que increíble aunque incompleto, pero tengo una duda ¿cómo se abren las puertas si no hay manijas?
color is fantastic
😍
It's Voodoo Larry's kustom ride "VOODOO HAWAIIAN"
How much would they charge to do the body work, chop - w/o the price of paint?
What type of man / woman hours involved?
That's me
