1948 Mercury M-100

This was my dads project many years ago, brought her home for $50, and set to work. Years of hunting through scrap yards, and late nights in the shop finally payed off! Finally a truck came out of that rusty old girl.

Every summer I find a rust bucket of my own and every time my dad turns me down, he has now since I was 11. I am 16 now and have learned more and more every year. I am really hoping this is the summer that I find my self a set of wheels thats just a little rough around the edges. I am into the 4x4 scene, and an old Toyota or Nissan hardbody would do me perfect! I have a year because of new regulations with student drivers and getting there licence. That should give me plenty of time to make a nice little truck road worthy.

Thanks For Viewing
