The Merc Is Up & Running.
The day has finally arrived; the Merc will fire on its own and stay running! I had a chance to drop through the gears, and to my delight, the transmission works wonderfully. The brakes are still harsh, so I need to bleed them again. We have the wiring to finish up and, last but not least, the damn bodywork! It’s been crazy in the garage as there are so many damn projects we are working on that I sometimes don’t touch my car for a few days. With the warm weather coming around, it puts the excitement back into getting … Continue reading The Merc Is Up & Running.

Hunnert Car Pileup 2010 in Decatur, IL!
As you know, we had a lot of problems with the Hunnert Car Pileup last year. The problems were a long time coming and we’re lucky they didn’t happen sooner and no one was seriously hurt. These events forced us to think long and hard about what the Pileup is, where it’s going, and where its future path should lead. We’ve always said that if we felt the soul of the Pileup slipping away from us that we would rather stop having the show than see it turn into something we don’t like. After some deep contemplation and heated debates, we’ve … Continue reading Hunnert Car Pileup 2010 in Decatur, IL!

1954 Merc’s
Sitting outside for 17 years
My new 1954 Mercury Sunvalley. We will re-work the body over the next several months/years and put a new kustom on the streets. The car was once ready for paint, but like many projects, the funds ran out, and the vehicle was placed on the back burner. The body was removed from the frame 15 years ago, and all the bushings and brakes were replaced. While the car was out getting rewired, it sat outside with a tarp over it. The moisture under the tarp started the surface rust on the vehicle.. The body was removed from the frame 15 years ago … Continue reading Sitting outside for 17 years
