Thompson's Garage - '49 Merc - To Be Chopped And Cherried Up. What Do You Think It Will Take?

Cincinnati, Ohio. Thompson's Garage has recently agreed to take on this 1949 Mercury project car which the owner found in Indiana. The sign painted on the back says "Buzzards Roost or Bust 4-5-86". Looks like "BUST" is close to what happened.

 

The current plan is to turn it into a polished, chopped lead sled. Steve is a master with metal, but I'm thinking this job is going to test his skills and cost the owner a pretty chunk of change. I hope to be able to follow the progress and record the transformation.
