We purchased this Merc off a consignment lot in Scottsdale, AZ. The chop was awesome. 7 inches in the back and 4 in the front. It was done old skool way with lead. The hood has over 100 louvers. It's been frenched, nosed, decked, etc. The frame was a GM and it had a 350 under the hood. We didn't care about that, we were all about the body. We've got a lot of changes we will be making so keep checking!
